Electronic Signatures, Forms and Storage for Drug and Alcohol Testing Records **Citation:** 87 FR 47951 **Type / status:** rulemaking / proposed **Agency:** Office of the Secretary **Effective / published:** Not stated / 2022-08-05 The Department of Transportation (DOT) requests public comment on how its regulations for conducting workplace drug and alcohol testing for the federally regulated transportation industry could be amended to allow electronic signatures on documents required to be created and utilized under the regulations, to be able to use electronic versions of forms, and to electronically store forms and data. The regulatory changes would apply to DOT-regulated employers and their contractors ("service agents") who administer their DOT- regulated drug and alcohol testing programs. Currently, employers and their service agents must use, sign and store paper documents exclusively, unless the employer is utilizing a laboratory's electronic Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form (electronic CCF) system that has been approved by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). DOT is required by statute to amend its regulations to authorize, to the extent practicable, the use of electronic signatures or digital signatures executed to electronic forms instead of traditional handwritten signatures executed on paper forms. This rulemaking also responds to an April 2, 2020, petition for rulemaking from DISA Global Solutions, Inc. (DISA), requesting that part 40 be amended to allow the use of an electronic version of the alcohol testing form (ATF) for DOT-authorized alcohol testing. The information received in response to this ANPRM will assist DOT in the development of proposed regulatory amendments intended to provide additional flexibility and reduced costs for the industry while maintaining the integrity and confidentiality requirements of the drug and alcohol testing regulations. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `2fb51a28c762a925c1e47fc0cfbc5dbafed6c9b1346652a2be483fd59c963bac` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-2022-16862` - Related records: 5 ## 22.

The changes to the Department's regulation make it necessary to refer to these substances, as well as the previously covered drugs morphine, 6- acetylmorphine, and codeine, by the more inclusive term "opioids," rather than "opiates." This rule amends the term in the FAA, FTA, and PHMSA regulations to ensure that all DOT drug testing rules are consistent with one another and with the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs. In addition, this rule makes a conforming amendment to include the term "opioids" in the wording of the Department's annual information collection requirement and clarifications to section 40.26 and Appendix H regarding the requirement for employers to follow the Department's instructions for the annual information collection. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `2da98b7ae9dc77dd45dc009e712b1dd3a44c819abf88d2043455706930d826c5` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-2019-06986` - Related records: 7 ## 26.

Electronic Signatures, Forms and Storage for Drug and Alcohol Testing Records **Citation:** 89 FR 82957 **Type / status:** rulemaking / proposed **Agency:** Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration **Effective / published:** Not stated / 2024-10-15 The Department of Transportation (DOT or Department) proposes to amend its regulations for conducting workplace drug and alcohol testing for the federally regulated transportation industry to allow, but not require, electronic signatures on documents required to be created and utilized under the regulations, the use of electronic versions of forms, and the electronic storage of forms and data. The regulatory changes would apply to DOT-regulated employers and their contractors ("service agents") who administer their DOT-regulated drug and alcohol testing programs. Currently, employers and their service agents must use, sign and store paper documents exclusively, unless the employer is utilizing a laboratory's electronic Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form (electronic CCF) system that has been approved by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). DOT is required by statute to amend its regulations to authorize, to the extent practicable, the use of electronic signatures or digital signatures executed to electronic forms instead of traditional handwritten signatures executed on paper forms. This rulemaking also responds to an April 2, 2020, petition for rulemaking from DISA Global Solutions, Inc. (DISA), requesting that DOT regulations be amended to allow the use of an electronic version of the alcohol testing form (ATF) for DOT-authorized alcohol testing. The proposed regulatory amendments are expected to provide additional flexibility and reduced costs for the industry while maintaining the integrity and confidentiality requirements of the drug and alcohol testing regulations. In addition, DOT proposes to amend the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) regulation for conformity and to make other miscellaneous technical changes and corrections. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `4e3ad8c72d925c243cbca90f666f9f79e6350b7be2b6d19c4593a32100b5677c` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-2024-23427` - Related records: 29 ## 59.

The report examines how the Department of Transportation (DOT) uses drug and alcohol testing data, how DOT verifies that data are reliable, and whether DOT follows key actions for transparently reporting drug and alcohol testing data. The drug and alcohol testing data are primarily used by the DOT modal administrations and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to determine the random testing rate(s) for safety-sensitive employees in each industry each year. In response to a recommendation from the GAO Report, DOT requests information from potential users in the public to determine if there is a broader audience for the public data, consistent with key actions for open government data. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `240b7e06ac1dda01be306fcf795ce045635b81d7f7d8b3602dbdbb1871fc5b97` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-2022-13985` - Related records: 1 ## 76.
