1. The burden
change appears to be both program change and an adjustment, but the
submission shows only agency discretion. Despite repeated inquiries
about this discrepancy over more than a month, there has been no
response. Approved for one year only, to give DOT an opportunity to
check the burden data. 2. Note that the subfunction for the line of
business was not included in the submission. We have added. Include
this information in the future. Continued omission of needed data
will require modifying the submission or, if that is not done,
resubmission.

Under the Omnibus Transportation
Employee Testing Act of 1991, DOT is required to implement a drug
and alcohol testing program in the Transportation industry. This
specific requirement is elaborated in 49 CFR Part 40 (Procedures
for Transportation Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs).
The program change of 53,860
burden hours was a result of a regulatory change in which the
random alcohol testing rates for each DOT agency was reduced to
from 25% to 10%.
