SUMMARY: This notice advises operators of gas, hazardous liquid, and carbon dioxide pipelines and liquefied natural gas facilities that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS), is modifying the Drug & Alcohol Management Information System (DAMIS) to allow the reporting of contractor data without duplication and will begin collecting annual drug and alcohol testing data for contractor employees with Management Information System (MIS) reports due March 15, 2010. The collection of contractor MIS reports will provide data for the entire pipeline industry to calculate the required minimum annual percent rate for random drug testing. Operators will also identify all OPS issued operator identification numbers (OpID) covered by a MIS report of operator employees.
