Safety Administration 

[Docket No. PHMSA–2020–0135] 

Pipeline Safety: Random Drug Testing 

Rate; Management Information System 

Reporting; and Obtaining Drug and 

Alcohol Management Information 

System Sign-In Information 

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of calendar year 2021 

minimum annual percentage rate for 

random drug testing, reminder for 

operators to report contractor 

management information system (MIS) 

data using PHMSA supplemental 

instructions, and reminder of method 

for operators to obtain user name and 

password for electronic reporting. 

SUMMARY: PHMSA has determined that 

the minimum random drug testing rate 

for covered employees will remain at 50 

percent during calendar year 2021. 

Operators are reminded that drug and 

alcohol (D&A) testing information must 

be submitted for contractors who are 

performing or are ready to perform 

covered functions. For calendar year 

2020 reporting, the user name and 

password for the Drug and Alcohol 

Management Information System 

(DAMIS) will be available in the 

PHMSA Portal. 

DATES: Effective January 1, 2021, 

through December 31, 2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Wayne Lemoi, Drug & Alcohol Program 

Manager, Office of Pipeline Safety, by 

phone at 909–937–7232 or by email at 

wayne.lemoi@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Notice of Calendar Year 2021 Minimum 

Annual Percentage Rate for Random 

Drug Testing 

Operators of natural gas, hazardous 

liquid, and carbon dioxide pipelines, 

liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities, 

and underground natural gas storage 

facilities must randomly select and test 

a percentage of all covered employees 

for prohibited drug use in accordance 

with 49 CFR part 199. Pursuant to 

§ 199.105(c)(1), the PHMSA minimum 

annual random drug testing rate for all 

covered employees is 50 percent. The 

Administrator can adjust this random 

drug testing rate based on the reported 

positive rate in the pipeline industry’s 

random drug tests, which is submitted 

in operators’ annual Management 

Information System (MIS) reports as 

required by § 199.119(a). In accordance 

with § 199.105(c)(3), if the reported 

positive drug test rate is below 1 percent 

for 2 consecutive years, the 

Administrator can reduce the random 

drug testing rate to 25 percent of all 

covered employees. In calendar year 

2019, the random drug test positive rate 

for the entire pipeline industry was 

reported at greater than 1 percent; 

therefore, the minimum annual random 

drug testing rate for calendar year 2021 

is maintained at 50 percent of all 

covered employees. 

Reminder for Operators To Report 

Contractor MIS Data 

PHMSA developed and released 

online new PHMSA Supplemental 

Instructions for DOT Drug & Alcohol 

Management Information System 

Reporting. These instructions provide 

operators with the appropriate process 

for collecting and reporting annual D&A 

MIS testing data for contractors. The 

Supplemental Instructions help ensure 

that PHMSA can identify all the 

contractors who performed D&A 

covered functions for a specific pipeline 

operator; identify all the pipeline 

operators for whom a specific contractor 

performed D&A covered functions; and, 

has received a complete and accurate 

D&A MIS report for each contractor who 

performed D&A covered functions on 

any PHMSA regulated pipeline or 

facility in the applicable calendar year. 

Pursuant to §§ 199.119(a) and 

199.229(a), an operator having more 

than 50 covered employees is a large 

operator and an operator having 50 or 

fewer covered employees is a small 

operator. While contractor employees 

are covered employees per the 

regulations in § 199.3 and must be 

treated as such with regards to part 199, 

contractor employees are not included
