I. Background: The Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) 

establishes the standards for Federal 

workplace drug testing programs under 

the authority of Section 503 of Public 

Law 100–71, 5 U.S.C. Section 7301, and 

Executive Order No. 12564. As required, 

HHS published the Mandatory 

Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug 

Testing Programs (Guidelines) in the 

Federal Register on April 11, 1988 [53 

FR 11979]. SAMHSA subsequently 

revised the Guidelines on June 9, 1994 

[59 FR 29908], September 30, 1997 [62 

FR 51118], November 13, 1998 [63 FR 

63483], April 13, 2004 [69 FR 19644], 

and on November 25, 2008 [73 FR 

71858]. If there is an adequate scientific 

basis, HHS anticipates issuing further 

revisions to the Mandatory Guidelines 

to address the use of oral fluid 

specimen. 

Section 503 of Public Law 100–71, 5 

U.S.C. Section 7301 note, required the 

Department to establish scientific and 

technical guidelines and amendments in 

accordance with Executive Order 12564 

and to publish Mandatory Guidelines 

which establish comprehensive 

standards for all aspects of laboratory 

drug testing and procedures, including 

standards that require the use of the best 

available technology for ensuring the 

full reliability and accuracy of drug tests 

and strict procedures governing the 

chain of custody of specimens collected 

for drug testing. These revisions to the 

Mandatory Guidelines promote and 

establish standards that use the best 

available technology for ensuring the 

full reliability and accuracy of urine 

drug tests, while reflecting the ongoing 

process of review and evaluation of 

legal, scientific, and societal concerns. 

SAMHSA’s chartered CSAP Drug 

Testing Advisory Board (DTAB) will be 

the vehicle to provide recommendations 

for including alternative specimens (oral 

fluid) in the Mandatory Guidelines for 

Federal Workplace Drug Testing 

Programs. The overall intent of this 

effort will be publication of the 

proposed revisions to the Mandatory 

Guidelines in the Federal Register for 

public comment and the development of 

the Final Notice. 

To assist the DTAB, we are soliciting 

written comments and statements from 

the general public and industry 

stakeholders regarding a variety of 

issues related to oral fluid specimen 

drug testing, including analytes, cutoffs, 

specimen validity, collection, collection 

devices, and testing. 

II. Solicitation of Comments: As we 

develop our initial outline for the 

Mandatory Guidelines, we are seeking 

additional information that is current, 

scientific, and peer reviewed in 

reference to oral fluid specimen drug 

testing, specifically on the following 

questions: 

• Analytes/Cutoffs: What analytes 

should be measured in oral fluid for the 

initial and confirmatory tests? What 

initial and confirmation cutoffs should 

be used for the oral fluid drug tests? 

Should the oral fluid drug testing panel 

be expanded to include schedule II 

prescription medications? 

• Specimen Validity: Are bio-markers 

needed to validate the oral fluid 

specimen? Are there appropriate biomarkers or tests for the oral fluid 

specimen that would reveal 

adulteration, substitution, and/or 

dilution? 

• Collection: How should an oral 

fluid specimen be collected? For an oral 

fluid split specimen collection, how 

should the collection of the two 

specimens be performed? As a donor, 

would you prefer to provide an oral 

fluid or a urine specimen? 

• Collection Devices: What should be 

the technical requirements for an oral 

fluid specimen collection device? 

• Testing: What technologies are 

available to perform initial and 

confirmatory testing on oral fluid 

specimens?
