Title: Prevention of Prohibited Drug Use

in Transit Operations (OMB Number:

2132–0557)

Background: The Omnibus

Transportation Employee Testing Act of

1991 (Pub. L. 102–143, October 28,

1991, now codified in relevant part at 49

U.S.C. 5331) requires any recipient of

Federal financial assistance under 49

U.S.C. Sections 5309, 5307, or 5311 or

under 23 U.S.C. Section 103(e) (4) to

establish a program designed to help

prevent accidents and injuries resulting

from the misuse of drugs and alcohol by

employees who perform safety-sensitive

functions. FTA’s regulation, 49 CFR Part

653, ‘‘Prevention of Prohibited Drug Use

in Transit Operations,’’ effective March

17, 1994, requires recipients to submit

to FTA annual reports containing data

which summarize information

concerning the recipients’ drug testing

program, such as the number and type

of tests given, number of positive test

results, and the kinds of safety-sensitive

functions the employees perform. FTA

uses these data to ensure compliance

with the rule, to assess the misuse of

drugs in the transit industry, and to set

the random testing rate. The data will

also be used to assess the effectiveness

of the rule in reducing the misuse of

drugs among safety-sensitive transit

employees and making transit safer for

the public.

Respondents: State and local

government, business or other for-profit

institutions, non-profit institutions, and

small business organizations.

Estimated Annual Burden on

Respondents: 26.5 hours for each of the

1,615 respondents.

Estimated Total Annual Burden:

42,799 hours.

Frequency: Annual.

Issued: February 4, 1997.
