    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        If any laboratory has withdrawn from the National Laboratory 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: http://www.health.org/workpl.htm

    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 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, 
    July 16, 1996) as meeting the minimum standards of the ``Mandatory 
    Guidelines for Workplace Drug Testing'' (59 FR, June 9, 1994, Pages 
    29908-29931). 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.
