Random Drug Testing Rate for 

Covered Crewmembers for 2018 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of minimum random 

drug testing rate. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has set the 

calendar year 2018 minimum random 

drug testing rate at 25 percent of 

covered crewmembers. 

DATES: The minimum random drug 

testing rate is effective January 1, 2018 

through December 31, 2018. 

Marine employers must submit their 

2017 Management Information System 

(MIS) reports no later than March 15, 

2018. 

ADDRESSES: Annual MIS reports may be 

submitted by electronic submission to 

the following email address: DAPI@

uscg.mil. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions about this notice, please 

contact Mr. Patrick Mannion, Drug and 

Alcohol Prevention and Investigation 

Program Manager, Office of 

Investigations and Casualty Analysis 

(CG–INV), U.S. Coast Guard 

Headquarters, telephone 202–372–1033. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast 

Guard requires marine employers to 

establish random drug testing programs 

for covered crewmembers on inspected 

and uninspected vessels in accordance 

with 46 CFR 16.230. Every marine 

employer is required by 46 CFR 16.500 

to collect and maintain a record of drug 

testing program data for each calendar 

year, and submit this data by 15 March 

of the following year to the Coast Guard 

in an annual MIS report. 

Each year, the Coast Guard will 

publish a notice reporting the results of 

random drug testing for the previous 

calendar year’s MIS data and the 

minimum annual percentage rate for 

random drug testing for the next 

calendar year. The purpose of setting a 

minimum random drug testing rate is to 

assist the Coast Guard in analyzing its 

current approach for deterring and 

detecting illegal drug abuse in the 

maritime industry. 

The Coast Guard announces that the 

minimum random drug testing rate for 

calendar year 2018 is 25 percent. The 

Coast Guard may increase this rate if 

MIS data indicates a qualitative 

deficiency of reported data or the 

positive random testing rate is greater 

than 1.0 percent in accordance with 46 

CFR part 16.230(f)(2). MIS data for the 

most recent reporting year indicates that 

the positive rate is less than one 

percent. 

For 2018, the minimum random drug 

testing rate will continue at 25 percent 

of covered employees for the period of 

January 1, 2018 through December 31, 

2018 in accordance with 46 CFR 

16.230(e). 

Dated: January 12, 2018.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Director of 

Inspections and Compliance.
