SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Operators 

of gas, hazardous liquid, and carbon 

dioxide pipelines and operators of 

liquefied natural gas facilities must 

select and test a percentage of covered 

employees for random drug testing. 

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 49 CFR 199.119(a). If the 

reported random drug test positive rate 

is less than one percent, the 

Administrator may continue the 

minimum random drug testing rate at 25 

percent. In 2007, the random drug test 

positive rate was less than one percent. 

Therefore, the minimum random drug 

testing rate will remain at 25 percent for 

calendar year 2009. 

In reference to the notice published in 

70 FR 20800, PHMSA intends to publish 

an Advisory Bulletin specifying the 

methodology for reporting MIS 

contractor data to PHMSA. Therefore, 

operators must ensure records on 

contract employees continue to be 

maintained. 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 5103, 60102, 60104, 

60108, 60117, and 60118; 49 CFR 1.53.
