DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Current List of Laboratories Which Meet Minimum Standards To
Engage in Urine Drug Testing for Federal Agencies
AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) notifies
Federal agencies of the laboratories currently certified to meet the
standards of subpart C of the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal
Workplace Drug Testing Programs (Mandatory Guidelines) published in the
Federal Register on April 11, 1988 (53 FR 11970), and revised in the
Federal Register on June 9, 1994 (59 FR 29908) and on September 30,
1997 (62 FR 51118). A notice listing all currently certified
laboratories is published in the Federal Register during the first week
of each month. If any laboratory's certification is suspended or
revoked, the laboratory will be omitted from subsequent lists until
such time as it is restored to full certification under the Mandatory
Guidelines.
If any laboratory has withdrawn from HHS' National Laboratory
Certification Program (NLCP) during the past month, it will be listed
at the end, and will be omitted from the monthly listing thereafter.
This notice is also available on the Internet at http://workplace.samhsa.gov
and http://www.drugfreeworkplace.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs. Giselle Hersh or Dr. Walter Vogl,
Division of Workplace Programs, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockwall 2, Room
815, Rockville, Maryland 20857; 301-443-6014 (voice), 301-443-3031
(fax).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Mandatory Guidelines were developed in
accordance with Executive Order 12564 and section 503 of Pub. L. 100-
71. Subpart C of the Guidelines, ``Certification of Laboratories
Engaged in Urine Drug Testing for Federal Agencies,'' sets strict
standards that laboratories must meet in order to conduct urine drug
testing for Federal agencies. To become certified, an applicant
laboratory must undergo three rounds of performance testing plus an on-
site inspection.
[[Page 45263]]
To maintain that certification, a laboratory must participate in a
quarterly performance testing program plus periodic, on-site
inspections.
Laboratories which claim to be in the applicant stage of
certification are not to be considered as meeting the minimum
requirements expressed in the HHS Mandatory Guidelines. A laboratory
must have its letter of certification from HHS/SAMHSA (formerly: HHS/
NIDA) which attests that it has met minimum standards.
In accordance with Subpart C of the Mandatory Guidelines, the
following laboratories meet the minimum standards set forth in the
Mandatory Guidelines:

------------
* The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) voted to end its
Laboratory Accreditation Program for Substance Abuse (LAPSA)
effective May 12, 1998. Laboratories certified through that program
were accredited to conduct forensic urine drug testing as required
by U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. As of that
date, the certification of those accredited Canadian laboratories
will continue under DOT authority. The responsibility for conducting
quarterly performance testing plus periodic on-site inspections of
those LAPSA-accredited laboratories was transferred to the U.S. HHS,
with the HHS' NLCP contractor continuing to have an active role in
the performance testing and laboratory inspection processes. Other
Canadian laboratories wishing to be considered for the NLCP may
apply directly to the NLCP contractor just as U.S. laboratories do.
Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be qualified, HHS will
recommend that DOT certify the laboratory (Federal Register, July
16, 1996) as meeting the minimum standards of the Mandatory
Guidelines published in the Federal Register on June 9, 1994 (59 FR
29908) and on September 30, 1997 (62 FR 51118). After receiving DOT
certification, the laboratory will be included in the monthly list
of HHS certified laboratories and participate in the NLCP
certification maintenance program.

Acting Executive Officer, SAMHSA.
