Workplace Substance Abuse Programs at DOE Sites

The Department of Energy (DOE) today publishes a final rule to amend the Department's regulations to decrease the random drug testing rate of DOE contractor employees in testing designated positions (TDP). Today's final rule also makes minor technical changes that delete: A sentence pertaining to specimen collection and handling in order to conform the section with the current U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs; and obsolete references to the Personnel Security Assurance Program and the Personnel Assurance Program.
