Random Drug Testing Program; Proposed Rule DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION **Citation:** Not assigned **Type / status:** rulemaking / historical **Agency:** Federal Transit Administration **Effective / published:** Not stated / 1994-02-15 Five operating administrations--the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG)--currently require random drug testing of safety-sensitive employees. In a final rule published elsewhere in today's Federal Register, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) , also a part of DOT, is adopting a parallel rule for covered transit employees. In response to public comments, petitions submitted by industry, and on its own initiative, the FAA, FRA, FHWA, RSPA, USCG and FTA (the operating administrations or \`\`OAs'') are proposing to lower the minimum random drug testing rate to 25 percent where the industry-wide (e.g., aviation, rail) random positive rate is less than 1.0 percent for 2 calendar years while testing at 50 percent. The rate would return to 50 percent if the industry random positive rate were 1.0 percent or higher in any subsequent calendar year. The industry-wide random positive rate for each transportation industry would be calculated from data submitted to the Department and announced yearly by the respective Administrator or the Commandant of the Coast Guard. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `245ca98c25e9a537c48aa8051a965f16beae75ef9849d4123754480db7a3653c` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-94-2040` - Related records: 3 ## 22.

The Department also published a notice of proposed rulemaking seeking comment on whether blood testing should be used in very limited circumstances (i.e., for reasonable suspicion and post-accident tests, where evidential breath testing was not available). After reviewing the comments, the Department has decided not to authorize blood testing as proposed. The Department's operating administrations are amending their alcohol testing rules to require employers to submit to the Department reports of reasonable suspicion and post-accident tests that could not be conducted because breath testing was unavailable. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `448244c84194694960c6d32f4e493e8764a20f8cf137dd21ca5ecbef219d834d` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-94-29643` - Related records: 1 ## 23.

The proposed changes would require pipeline operators to require employees who test positive for the presence of prohibited drugs or who refuse to take a required drug test to be evaluated by a substance abuse professional (SAP), who could require an employee to undergo a rehabilitation program prior to the employee's return to duty. The reason for this change is to conform RSPA's drug and alcohol testing regulations with the drug and alcohol regulations of the other Department of Transportation operating administrations. In addition, RSPA is proposing to define \`\`covered employee'' and \`\`covered function.'' Finally, this rule would allow Medical Review Officers (MROs) who meet the SAP qualifications to perform the evaluation of individuals who have had a verified positive drug test or who have refused to take a required test. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `ff95526c3cf8d02c167343f49b7ec2cd4857c379ba49f3604e0414c8c82fa32f` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-97-22048` - Related records: 5 ## 24.

This final rule modified procedures in its drug testing regulations by requiring a face-to-face evaluation by substance abuse professionals (SAP) for pipeline employees who have either received a positive drug test or have refused a drug test required by RSPA. It also revised the word \`\`employee'' to \`\`covered employee'' and added the definition of \`\`covered function.'' This document makes minor corrections to restore text that was in the original version of the regulations, but was inadvertently left out of the Final Rule. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `d5c8917571313387f0bbd727ff97e9c6dee636b1d01202e19f0569fa410b2e8b` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-98-17720` - Related records: 3 ## 28. Random Drug Testing Program; Final Rule **Citation:** Not assigned **Type / status:** rulemaking / historical **Agency:** Office of the Federal Register **Effective / published:** 1995-01-01 / 1994-12-02 In response to public comments, petitions submitted by industry, and on their own initiative, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) (the operating administrations or \`\`OAs'') have revised their random drug testing rules. As revised, the rules provide that the OA may lower the minimum random drug testing rate to 25 percent if the industry-wide (e.g., aviation, rail) random positive rate is less than 1.0 percent for 2 calendar years while testing at 50 percent. The rate will return to 50 percent if the industry random positive rate is 1.0 percent or higher in any subsequent calendar year. The industry-wide random positive rate for each transportation industry will be calculated from data submitted to the OAs and announced yearly by the respective Administrator or the Commandant of the Coast Guard. Based on this revision, the random drug testing rate for the railroad and aviation industries is reduced by the FRA and FAA Administrators, respectively, to 25 percent, effective January 1, 1995. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `c092446e2a6c7acd42d6cb02e7a69d4ceebaec6f903bd149fff8cb2405cd6761` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-x94-11202` - Related records: 4 ## 29.

The percentage, either 50 percent or 25 percent, depends on the positive rate of random testing reported to RSPA in the previous year. In accordance with applicable standards, we have determined that the positive rate of random testing reported this year for testing in calendar year 2000 was less than 1.0 percent. Therefore, in calendar year 2002, the minimum annual percentage rate for random drug testing is 25 percent of covered employees. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `398dd6fe0a88215a48c56e4c6c13604a4cedf933e77798c789dcf3465b391258` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-02-261` - Related records: 2 ## 30.

The collection of contractor MIS reports will provide data for the entire pipeline industry to calculate the required minimum annual percent rate for random drug testing. Operators will also identify all OPS issued operator identification numbers (OpID) covered by a MIS report of operator employees. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `ad47f36b0838b1536676130ec0cb2b36b5f680ceca41a1020f802c16a553b4f3` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-2010-867` - Related records: 2 ## 31.

Within the mandated timelines after a reportable pipeline accident or incident, operators must drug and alcohol test each covered employee whose performance either contributed to the accident or cannot be completely discounted as a contributing factor to the accident or incident. Operators must make the determination of employee contribution to the accident or incident promptly to meet the timelines for testing required by the regulations. This was further emphasized by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in its report of the September 9, 2010, incident in San Bruno, California. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `71de1e4f5447f8d160a928090c4bc20834b6a8d84ab113de5e57d48c5a845a1e` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-2012-4157` - Related records: 8 ## 32.
