You state that your sales personnel are only responsible\nfor pick-up and delivery of parts. At no time is any work conducted on the equipment while it is\nattached to the operator’ s pipeline.\nBased on the information you provided, it would appear that your employees do not perform\ncovered functions on a pipeline or LNG facility that would subject them to the drug testing\nregulations.\nThank you for your inquiry. Please let me know if you need additional information about our\ndrug testing requirements.\nSincerely,\nRichard L.
