Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs **Citation:** 73 FR 70283 **Type / status:** rulemaking / historical **Agency:** Office of the Secretary **Effective / published:** Not stated / 2008-11-20 On June 25, 2008, the Department issued a Final Rule amending, among other provisions, paragraph (b) of our section pertaining to urine specimen collections. This amendment required direct observation collections for all return-to-duty and follow-up tests. We sought additional comments to this provision on August 25, 2008. On October 22, 2008, the Department issued a notice responding to those comments. The Department did not change the amendment, and determined that the revised paragraph would go into effect, as scheduled, on November 1, 2008. On November 12, 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a stay of the revised paragragh (b). This document, therefore, returns the language of 49 CFR 40.67(b) that existed prior to the November 1, 2008, effective date pending further order of the Court. ### Provenance - Official: Yes - Source: - Source ID: `federal-register` - SHA-256: `8eeaf8407d8815e8e06f18eb813c1ab1ec94718fdc70c2ba463f45c5aa4dc84f` - Retrieved: 2026-08-20T06:04:51.294Z - Document slug: `federal-register-e8-27617` - Related records: 1
