Abstract:
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 Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance (ODAPC) regulation and associated paperwork burdens support three Department of Transportation goals the Safety Strategic Objective; the Security Measures; and the Environmental Stewardship Strategic Objective. The regulatory requirements help promote the safety of the traveling public by working toward the elimination of drug and alcohol related transportation deaths and injuries; the security of Americans by working toward ensuring that transportation employees are not hindered by drug and alcohol abuse; and protecting the natural environment by working toward reduction of drug and alcohol use being factors in toxic spills and releases

Short Statement:
This is a request for renewal of the previously approved information collection 2105-0529. The number of annual burden hours has increased by 94,145 hours, primarily due to the increase in the number of drug and alcohol tests being performed. The increase in the number of tests was probably due to an improving economy. 855,547 more responses were estimated when compared to the previous estimates. See item #15 for more detailed explanation.
