* The Standards Council of Canada
(SCC) voted to end its Laboratory
Accreditation Program for Substance
Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998.
Laboratories certified through that
program were accredited to conduct
forensic urine drug testing as required
by U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the
certification of those accredited
Canadian laboratories will continue
under DOT authority. The responsibility
for conducting quarterly performance
testing plus periodic on-site inspections
of those LAPSA-accredited laboratories
was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with
the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to
have an active role in the performance
testing and laboratory inspection
processes. Other Canadian laboratories
wishing to be considered for the NLCP
may apply directly to the NLCP
contractor just as U.S. laboratories do.
Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to
be qualified, HHS will recommend that
DOT certify the laboratory (Federal
Register, July 16, 1996) as meeting the
minimum standards of the Mandatory
Guidelines published in the Federal
Register on April 30, 2010 (75 FR
22809). After receiving DOT
certification, the laboratory will be
included in the monthly list of HHScertified laboratories and participate in
the NLCP certification maintenance
program.

review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter
35).
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until July 1, 2011. This
process is conducted in accordance with
5 CFR 1320.1.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
questions about this Information
Collection Request should be forwarded
to DHS, Attn.: Denise Moore,
[email protected], 202–254–8230.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
recordkeeping provisions are designed
to ensure that a current employee,
former employee, or applicant for
employment claiming to be aggrieved or
that person’s attorney provide a signed
statement that is sufficiently precise to
identify the aggrieved individual and
the agency and to describe generally the
action(s) or practice(s) that form the
basis of the complaint. The complaint
must also contain a telephone number
and address where the complainant or
the representative can be contacted. The
complaint form is used for original
allegations of discrimination but also for
amendments to underlying complaints
of discrimination. The form also
determines whether the person is
willing to participate in mediation or
other available types of alternative
dispute resolution (ADR) to resolve their
complaint; Congress has enacted
legislation to encourage the use of ADR
in the federal sector and the form
ensures that such an option is
considered at this preliminary stage of
the EEO complaint process.
It is the policy of the Government of
the United States to provide equal
opportunity in employment for all
persons, to prohibit discrimination in
employment because of race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, age,
disability, protected genetic
information, sexual orientation, or
status as a parent, and to promote the
full realization of equal employment
opportunity (EEO) through a continuing
affirmative program in each agency.
Persons who claim to have been
subjected to these types of
discrimination, or to retaliation for
opposing these types of discrimination
or for participating in any stage of
administrative or judicial proceedings
relating to them, can seek a remedy
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
(Title VII) (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.) (race,
color, religion, sex, national origin), the
Age Discrimination in Employment Act
(ADEA) (29 U.S.C. 621 et seq.) (age), the
Equal Pay Act (29 U.S.C. 206(d)) (sex),
the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 791 et
seq.) (disability), the Genetic

(genetic information), and Executive
Order 11478 (as amended by Executive
Orders 13087 and 13152) (sexual
orientation or status as a parent).
The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), Office for Civil Rights
and Civil Liberties (CRCL) adjudicates
discrimination complaints filed by
current and former DHS employees, as
well as applicants for employment to
DHS. The complaint adjudication
process for statutory rights is outlined in
the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) regulations found
at Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations
Part 1614 and EEO Management
Directive 110. For complaints regarding
sexual orientation or status as a parent,
DHS follows the same procedures as for
statutory rights, to the extent permitted
by law.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), Office of Health Affairs/OCMO
Early Detection Division will collect
information from BioWatch
jurisdictions. The BioWatch Program
operates aerosol collector equipment in
approximately 30 U.S. jurisdictions to
monitor for the presence of organisms
that may be related to the deliberate
release of a select subset of biological
threat agents. Information is collected in
writing by a representative of a
BioWatch jurisdiction (either an
employee, or a contractor) assigned
responsibility for installing and
removing filters from aerosol collection
devices and transportation to local
laboratories for sample analysis. A
standard filter log form is completed for
each sample and is archived by the
BioWatch jurisdiction for a period of
one year. The BioWatch Program
reimburses participating jurisdictions
for the cost of collection and laboratory
analysis activities, including the
preparation of the filter log form and
other documentation. The creation of a
written record for each sample is
required to support law enforcement
activities, including criminal
