ABSTRACT: The Drug Testing Program Record System encompasses all information from the Drug Enforcement Administration Headquarters and field offices regarding the DEA urinalysis drug testing program. The DEA utilizes the system to conduct drug testing of applicants and employees. This system consists of records containing sample collection and drug test results by date and social security number.

PURPOSE: Records for test collection and test results are maintained in this system in order to permit DEA to manage their drug free workplace program and screen employment applicants pursuant to Executive Order 12564 or 1986.

ACCESS CONSTRAINTS: Records maintained in the database are protected from unauthorized access through appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. These safeguards include restricting access to those with a need-to-know to perform their official duties, using DEA issued picture identification badges, and securing cabinets and tumbler lock safes.

USE CONSTRAINTS: Users of the database will be restricted to only those official personnel whose access is necessary to perform assigned tasks.

AGENCY PROGRAM: The DEA is the drug enforcement arm of the U.S. Department of Justice and is tasked to enforce the controlled substances laws and regulations of the United States. This system is one of the tools of DEA to ensure the drug free integrity of its employees and applicants.

SOURCE OF DATA: Data contained in the system is the result of drug testing collections, laboratory testing, the medical officer reviews, and any other actions conducted by the Office of Personnel.
