Pursuant to Public Law 92-463, notice is hereby given of the
meeting of the Drug Testing Advisory Board (DTAB) of the Center for

The two-day scientific meeting will be to continue discussing

workplace drug testing programs. The entire meeting is open to the

The purpose of the meeting is: (1) To review the proposed
principles and criteria associated with a forensic workplace drug
testing program presented at the April 28-30, 1997, DTAB meeting and
determine if those are the appropriate standards that any drug testing
program needs to satisfy; (2) to review the information and scientific
studies presented or submitted by the representatives of the
alternative specimens and technology industries during and/or after the
April 28-30 DTAB meeting, to determine their strengths and weaknesses,
what criteria they satisfy, and what areas may need improvement; and
(3) to make recommendations to assist these alternative specimens and
technologies to satisfy the criteria.
