Using data from Management Information System annual reports, FRA has determined that the 2001 rail industry random testing positive rate was 0.77 percent for drugs and 0.21 percent for alcohol. Since the industry-wide random drug testing positive rate continues to be below 1.0 percent, the Federal Railroad Administrator (Administrator) has determined that the minimum annual random drug testing rate for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003 will remain at 25 percent of covered railroad employees. Since the random alcohol testing violation rate has remained below 0.5 percent for the last two years, the Administrator has determined that the minimum random alcohol testing rate will remain at 10 percent of covered railroad employees for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003. DATES: This notice of determination is effective upon publication.
