Abstract
On September 7, 2021, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) for public comment in which it proposed to amend its regulations on contractor workplace substance abuse programs at DOE sites. In this final rule, DOE is adopting the amendments proposed in the NOPR without change. The amendments decrease the random drug testing rate for individuals in certain testing designated positions (TDPs); clarify that all positions requiring access authorizations (security clearances) are included in the TDPs; and clarify requirements for DOE approval prior to allowing persons in certain TDPs to return to work after removal for illegal drug use.
