SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Notice of Calendar Year 2013 Minimum 

Annual Percentage Rate for Random 

Drug Testing 

Operators of gas, hazardous liquid, 

and carbon dioxide pipelines and 

operators of liquefied natural gas 

facilities must randomly select and test 

a percentage of covered employees for 

prohibited drug use. Pursuant to 49 CFR 

199.105(c)(2), (3), and (4), the PHMSA 

Administrator’s decision on whether to 

change the minimum annual random 

drug testing rate is based on the 

reported random drug test positive rate 

for the pipeline industry. The data 

considered by the Administrator comes 

from operators’ annual submissions of 

Management Information System (MIS) 

reports required by § 199.119(a). If the 

reported random drug test positive rate 

is less than one percent, the 

Administrator may continue the
