Coast Guard

[USCG–2001–8660]

Random Drug Testing Rate for

Covered Crewmembers

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of minimum random

drug testing rate.

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has set the

calendar year 2001 minimum random

drug testing rate at 50 percent of

covered crewmembers. An evaluation of

the 1999 Management Information

System (MIS) data collection forms

submitted by marine employers

determined that random drug testing on

covered crewmembers for the calendar

year 1999 resulted in positive test

results 1.7 percent of the time. Based on

this percentage, we will maintain the

minimum random drug testing rate at 50

percent of covered crewmembers for the

calendar year 2001.

DATES: The minimum random drug

testing rate is effective January 1, 2001

through December 31, 2001. You must

submit your 2000 MIS reports no later

than March 15, 2001.

ADDRESSES: You must mail your annual

MIS report to Commandant (G–MOA),

U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100

Second Street SW., Room 2403,

Washington, DC 20593–0001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

questions about this notice, please

contact Lieutenant Jennifer Ledbetter,

Project Manager, Office of Investigations

and Analysis (G–MOA), U.S. Coast

Guard Headquarters, telephone 202–

267–0684.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 46

CFR 16.230, the Coast Guard requires

marine employers to establish random

drug testing programs for covered

crewmembers on inspected and

uninspected vessels. All marine

employers are required to collect and

maintain a record of drug testing

program data for each calender year,

January 1 through December 31. You

must submit this data to the Coast

Guard in an annual MIS report (Form

CG–5573 found in appendix B of 46

CFR 16). You may either submit your

own MIS report or have a consortium or

other employer representative submit

the data in a consolidated MIS report.

The chemical drug testing data is

essential to analyze our current

approach for deterring and detecting

illegal drug abuse in the maritime

industry.

Since 1999 MIS data indicates that the

positive random testing rate is greater

than one percent industry-wide (1.7

percent), the Coast Guard announces

that the minimum random drug testing

rate is set at 50 percent of covered

employees for the period of January 1,

2001 through December 31, 2001 in

accordance with 46 CFR 16.230(e).

You must submit your MIS report to

the Coast Guard no later than March 15

of each calendar year. Each year we will

publish a notice reporting the results of

the previous calendar year’s MIS data,

and the minimum annual percentage

rate for random drug testing for the next

calendar year.

Dated: January 8, 2001.

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant
