Pipeline Safety: Reporting Drug and 

Alcohol Test Results for Contractors 

and Multiple Operator Identification 

Numbers 

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice; Issuance of Advisory 

Bulletin. 

SUMMARY: This notice advises operators 

of gas, hazardous liquid, and carbon 

dioxide pipelines and liquefied natural 

gas facilities that the Pipeline and 

Hazardous Materials Safety 

Administration (PHMSA), Office of 

Pipeline Safety (OPS), is modifying the 

Drug & Alcohol Management 

Information System (DAMIS) to allow 

the reporting of contractor data without 

duplication and will begin collecting 

annual drug and alcohol testing data for 

contractor employees with Management 

Information System (MIS) reports due 

March 15, 2010. The collection of 

contractor MIS reports will provide data 

for the entire pipeline industry to 

calculate the required minimum annual 

percent rate for random drug testing. 

Operators will also identify all OPS 

issued operator identification numbers 

(OpID) covered by a MIS report of 

operator employees.

Substance Abuse Prevention Program at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Under 49 CFR Part 199, each pipeline 

operator having more than 50 covered 

employees must submit an annual MIS 

report to OPS of its drug and alcohol 

testing results for covered employees by 

March 15 of each year for the prior 

calendar year. Operators with 50 or 

fewer covered employees may be 

required to submit annual MIS reports 

if notified by OPS in writing. A covered 

employee is a person employed by the 

operator, a contractor engaged by the 

operator, or a person employed by such 

a contractor, who performs operations, 

maintenance, or emergency response 

functions regulated by 49 CFR Parts 192, 

193, and 195. 

In a final rule titled ‘‘Management 

Information System (MIS) Standardized 

Data Collection and Reporting’’ (58 FR 

68258, Dec. 23, 1993), OPS concluded 

that submission of contractor testing 

data by operators could result in 

duplicative reporting and inaccurate 

data. OPS noted that inaccuracies could 

affect the positive rate for the entire 

industry, thereby affecting the minimum 

annual percent rate for random drug 

testing. Accordingly, OPS deferred 

collecting contractor testing data, but 

stated that operators must continue to 

maintain the records required by 49 CFR 

Part 199, and ensure their pipeline 

contractors maintain the same. During 

subsequent meetings of the Technical 

Pipeline Safety Standards Committee 

and the Technical Hazardous Liquid 

Pipeline Safety Standards Committee, 

OPS discussed its intent to begin 

collecting contractor testing data. 

Comments at these meetings were 

supportive of the initiative to collect 

contractor data. 

OPS does not directly regulate 

pipeline contract companies with 

respect to drug and alcohol testing, but 

places the responsibility on operators to 

ensure all covered employees are tested 

and, depending on the number of 

covered employees, the testing results 

are submitted to OPS either annually or 

by OPS written request. Accordingly, 

pipeline operators monitor contractor 

compliance with drug and alcohol 

testing requirements as required by 49 

CFR Part 199. Operators use a variety of 

methods to monitor contractor 

employees, such as testing of contract 

employees, requiring pipeline 

contractors to have their own testing 

programs, or working with pipeline 

contractors that belong to drug testing 

consortium groups. Collecting 

contractor testing data is essential for 

analyzing OPS’s approach to detecting 

and deterring use of controlled 

substances. The information is also 

necessary to calculate the minimum 

annual percentage rate for random drug 

testing, which is based on the reported 

positive rate for the entire industry. 

Collecting this data does not require a 

rule amendment because 49 CFR Part 

199 requires operators to report testing 

data for all covered employees, which 

includes contract employees performing 

work on their pipelines. The preamble 

to the current rule merely deferred 

submission of the data until the 

development of a methodology. 

OPS is modifying DAMIS to allow the 

reporting of contractor data without 

duplication when the contractor works 

for multiple operators. DAMIS is also 

being modified to allow pipeline 

operators to submit a single operator 

employee MIS report for pipeline 

systems operated under more than one 

OPS issued OpID. 

II. Advisory Bulletin (ADB–09–04) 

To: Operators of Gas, Hazardous 

Liquid, and Carbon Dioxide Pipelines 

and Liquefied Natural Gas Facilities. 

Subject: Reporting Drug and Alcohol 

Test Results for Contractors and 

Multiple Operator Identification 

Numbers. 

Advisory: Beginning with MIS reports 

due by March 15, 2010, OPS will begin 

collecting annual drug and alcohol 

testing data for contractor employees. 

This Advisory Bulletin closes the action 

identified in a Federal Register 

Publication titled ‘‘Notice of Intent to 

Issue an Advisory Bulletin; Request for 

Public Comment’’ (70 FR 20800, April 

21, 2005), for development of a 

methodology for collection of contractor 

testing data. Contractors will be 

identified both by name and business 

tax identification number (BTIN) in the 

MIS report. The inclusion of the BTIN 

will ensure employees of the same 

contractor are only counted once when 

OPS calculates the required random 

testing rate. 

In order to verify reporting of operator 

employees, each MIS report for operator
