0930-AA33 202304 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0930 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration SAMHSA 0900 Department of Health and Human Services HHS Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs--Hair

This action proposes to establish update the scientific and technical guidelines for the inclusion of hair specimens in the Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Programs and standards for certification of laboratories engaged in drug testing for federal agencies. SAMHSA has chosen to reissue these Guidelines as proposed rather than as final to seek further public comment on unresolved scientific issues related to external contamination and forensic hair testing for drugs, and on changes to align the HMG with the proposed final urine mandatory guidelines (UrMG) and oral fluid mandatory guidelines (OFMG).
