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). The Mandatory
Guidelines were first published in the Federal Register on April 11,
1988 (53 FR 11970), and subsequently revised in the Federal Register on
June 9, 1994 (59 FR 29908), on September 30, 1997 (62 FR 51118), and on
April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644).
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If any laboratory has withdrawn from the HHS National Laboratory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://
www.workplace.samhsa.gov and http://www.drugfreeworkplace.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs. Giselle Hersh, Division of
Workplace Programs, SAMHSA/CSAP, Room 2-1042, One Choke Cherry Road,
Rockville, Maryland 20857; 240-276-2600 (voice), 240-276-2610 (fax).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Mandatory Guidelines were developed in
accordance with Executive Order 12564 and section 503 of Public Law
100-71. Subpart C of the Mandatory Guidelines, ``Certification of
Laboratories Engaged in Urine Drug Testing for Federal Agencies,'' sets
strict standards that laboratories must meet in order to conduct drug
and specimen validity tests on urine specimens for Federal agencies. To
become certified, an applicant laboratory must undergo three rounds of
performance testing plus an on-site inspection. To maintain that
certification, a laboratory must participate in a quarterly performance
testing program plus undergo 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 described 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 dated
April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644), the following laboratories meet the
minimum standards to conduct drug and specimen validity tests on urine
specimens:

*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 April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644).
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 Director, Office of Program Services, SAMHSA.
