SUMMARY: The Department of Health and Human Services notifies Federal
agencies of the laboratories currently certified to meet standards of
Subpart C of Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing
Programs (59 FR 29916, 29925). A similar notice listing all currently
certified laboratories will be published during the first week of each
month, and updated to include laboratories which subsequently apply for
and complete the certification process. If any listed laboratory's
certification is totally suspended or revoked, the laboratory will be
omitted from updated lists until such time as it is restored to full
certification under the Guidelines.
If any laboratory has withdrawn from the National Laboratory
Certification Program during the past month, it will be identified as
such at the end of the current list of certified laboratories, and will
be omitted from the monthly listing thereafter.
This Notice is now available on the internet at the following
website:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace
Drug Testing 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 which laboratories must meet
in order to conduct urine drug testing for Federal agencies. To become
certified an
[[Page 54050]]
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
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 Guidelines. A laboratory must have
its letter of certification from SAMHSA, HHS (formerly: HHS/NIDA) which
attests that it has met minimum standards.
In accordance with Subpart C of the Guidelines, the following
laboratories meet the minimum standards set forth in the 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.
DHHS, with the DHHS' National Laboratory Certification Program
(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, the DHHS
will recommend that DOT certify the laboratory (Federal Register, 16
July 1996) as meeting the minimum standards of the ``Mandatory
Guidelines for Workplace Drug Testing'' (59 FR, 29908-29931, 9 June
1994). After receiving the DOT certification, the laboratory will be
included in the monthly list of DHHS certified laboratories and
participate in the NLCP certification maintenance program.
