AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Health and 

Human Services (HHS) notifies Federal 

agencies of the laboratories and 

Instrumented Initial Testing Facilities 

(IITFs) currently certified to meet the 

standards of the Mandatory Guidelines 

for Federal Workplace Drug Testing 

Programs (Mandatory Guidelines) using 

Urine and the laboratories currently 

certified to meet the standards of the 

Mandatory Guidelines using Oral Fluid.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) publishes a notice 

listing all HHS-certified laboratories and 

Instrumented Initial Testing Facilities 

(IITFs) in the Federal Register during 

the first week of each month, in 

accordance with section 9.19 of the 

Mandatory Guidelines for Federal 

Workplace Drug Testing Programs 

(Mandatory Guidelines) using Urine and 

Section 9.17 of the Mandatory 

Guidelines using Oral Fluid. If any 

laboratory or IITF certification is 

suspended or revoked, the laboratory or 

IITF will be omitted from subsequent 

lists until such time as it is restored to 

full certification under the Mandatory 

Guidelines. 

If any laboratory or IITF has 

withdrawn from the HHS National 

Laboratory Certification Program (NLCP) 

during the past month, it will be listed 

at the end and will be omitted from the 

monthly listing thereafter. 

This notice is also available on the 

internet at https://www.samhsa.gov/ 

workplace/drug-testing-resources/ 

certified-lab-list. 

HHS separately notifies Federal 

agencies of the laboratories and IITFs 

currently certified to meet the standards 

of the Mandatory Guidelines using 

Urine and of the laboratories currently 

certified to meet the standards of the 

Mandatory Guidelines using Oral Fluid. 

The Mandatory Guidelines using 

Urine were first published in the 

Federal Register on April 11, 1988 (53 

FR 11970), and subsequently revised in 

the Federal Register on June 9, 1994 (59 

FR 29908); September 30, 1997 (62 FR 

51118); April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644); 

November 25, 2008 (73 FR 71858); 

December 10, 2008 (73 FR 75122); April 

30, 2010 (75 FR 22809); January 23, 

2017 (82 FR 7920); and on October 12, 

2023 (88 FR 70768). 

The Mandatory Guidelines using Oral 

Fluid were first published in the 

Federal Register on October 25, 2019 

(84 FR 57554) with an effective date of 

January 1, 2020, and subsequently 

revised in the Federal Register on 

October 12, 2023 (88 FR 70814). 

The Mandatory Guidelines were 

initially developed in accordance with 

Executive Order 12564 and section 503 

of Public Law 100–71 and allowed urine 

drug testing only. The Mandatory 

Guidelines using Urine have since been 

revised, and new Mandatory Guidelines 

allowing for oral fluid drug testing have 

been published. The Mandatory 

Guidelines require strict standards that 

laboratories and IITFs must meet in 

order to conduct drug and specimen 

validity tests on specimens for Federal 

agencies. HHS does not allow IITFs to 

conduct oral fluid testing. 

To become certified, an applicant 

laboratory or IITF must undergo three 

rounds of performance testing plus an 

on-site inspection. To maintain that 

certification, a laboratory or IITF must 

participate in a quarterly performance 

testing program plus undergo periodic, 

on-site inspections. 

Laboratories and IITFs in the 

applicant stage of certification are not to 

be considered as meeting the minimum 

requirements described in the HHS 

Mandatory Guidelines using Urine and/ 

or Oral Fluid. An HHS-certified 

laboratory or IITF must have its letter of 

certification from HHS/SAMHSA 

(formerly: HHS/NIDA), which attests 

that the test facility has met minimum 

standards. HHS does not allow IITFs to 

conduct oral fluid testing.

Guidelines using Oral Fluid effective

* The Standards Council of Canada 

(SCC) voted to end its Laboratory 

Accreditation Program for Substance 

Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998. 

Laboratories certified through that 

program were accredited to conduct 

forensic urine drug testing as required 

by U.S. Department of Transportation 

(DOT) regulations. As of that date, the 

certification of those accredited 

Canadian laboratories continued under 

DOT authority. The responsibility for 

conducting quarterly performance 

testing plus periodic on-site inspections 

of those LAPSA-accredited laboratories 

was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with 

the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to 

have an active role in the performance 

testing and laboratory inspection 

processes. Other Canadian laboratories 

wishing to be considered for the NLCP 

may apply directly to the NLCP 

contractor just as U.S. laboratories do. 

Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to 

be qualified, HHS will recommend that 

DOT certify the laboratory as meeting 

the minimum standards of the current 

Mandatory Guidelines published in the 

Federal Register. After receiving DOT 

certification, the laboratory will be 

included in the monthly list of HHScertified laboratories and participate in 

the NLCP certification maintenance 

program. DOT established this process 

in July 1996 (61 FR 37015) to allow 

foreign laboratories to participate in the 

DOT drug testing program.
