See attached
letter. Prior to notification of employers by January 1995 that
they must submit annual summary information on drug testing to
FHWA, the FHWA must submit a plan, incorporating a stratified
sampling methodology, for OMB review. A similar plan for alcohol
testing must be submitted for review prior to the first (1996)
annual reporting cycle on alcohol testing. The plan should also
evaluate the need for changes in the form and reporting
instructions which have been published for illustrative purposes
only. FHWA should also correct instructions at 59 FR 7521 for
consistency with FHWA form on the reporting of violations and the
reporting required by other operating administrations.
