1991, DOT is required to implement a
drug and alcohol testing program in
various transportation-related
industries. This specific requirement is
elaborated in 49 CFR part 40,
Procedures for Transportation
Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing
Programs. Included in this program are
the U.S. Department of Transportation

the employee’s name, the type of test
taken, the date of the test, and the name
of the employer. Custody and control is
essential to the basic purpose of the
alcohol testing program. Data on each
test conducted, including test results,
are necessary to document tests
conducted and actions taken to ensure
safety in the workplace.
The MIS form includes employer
specific drug and alcohol testing
information such as the reason for the
test and the cumulative number of
positive, negative and refusal test
results. The MIS data is used by each of
the affected DOT Agencies (i.e., Federal
Aviation Administration, Federal
Transit Administration, Federal
Railroad Administration, Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration, and the
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration) and the United States
Coast Guard when calculating their
random testing rates.
Affected Entities: Transportation
Industry.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
8,733,483.
Estimated Total Number Burden on
Respondents: The estimated annual
burden is 8,053,257. Included in this
number are 10,799 burden hours for the
MIS form and 267,787 burden hours for
the ATF form.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
the Department’s estimate of the burden
of the proposed information collection;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
