[Docket ID PHMSA–2014–0137] 

Pipeline Safety: Random Drug Testing 

Rate, Contractor Management 

Information System Reporting, and 

Obtaining Drug and Alcohol 

Management Information System SignIn Information 

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of calendar year 2015 

minimum annual percentage rate for 

random drug testing, reminder for 

operators to report contractor MIS data, 

and reminder of method for operators to 

obtain user name and password for 

electronic reporting. 

SUMMARY: PHMSA has determined that 

the minimum random drug testing rate 

for covered employees will remain at 25 

percent during calendar year 2015. 

Operators are reminded that drug and 

alcohol testing information must be 

submitted for contractors performing or 

ready to perform covered functions. For 

calendar year 2014 reporting, PHMSA 

will not attempt to mail the ‘‘user 

name’’ and ‘‘password’’ for the Drug and 

Alcohol Management Information 

System (DAMIS) to operators, but will 

make the user name and password 

available in the PHMSA Portal (https:// 

portal.phmsa.dot.gov/pipeline). 

DATES: Effective January 1, 2015, 

through December 31, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Blaine Keener, Director of Safety Data 

Systems and Analysis, by telephone at 

202–366–0970 or by email at 

blaine.keener@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Notice of Calendar Year 2015 Minimum 

Annual Percentage Rate for Random 

Drug Testing 

Operators of gas, hazardous liquid, 

and carbon dioxide pipelines and 

operators of liquefied natural gas 

facilities must randomly select and test 

a percentage of covered employees for 

prohibited drug use. 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 § 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 calendar year 2013, the 

random drug test positive rate was less 

than one percent. Therefore, the PHMSA 

minimum annual random drug testing 

selection rate will remain at 25 percent 

for calendar year 2015. 

Reminder for Operators To Report 

Contractor MIS Data 

On January 19, 2010, PHMSA 

published an Advisory Bulletin (75 FR 

2926) implementing the annual 

collection of contractor MIS drug and 

alcohol testing data. An operator’s 

report to PHMSA is not considered 

complete until an MIS report is 

submitted for each contractor that 

performed covered functions as defined 

in § 199.3. 

Reminder of Method for Operators To 

Obtain User Name and Password for 

Electronic Reporting 

In previous years, PHMSA attempted 

to mail the DAMIS user name and 

password to operator staff with 

responsibility for submitting DAMIS 

reports. Based on the number of phone 

calls to PHMSA each year requesting 

this information, the mailing process 

has not been effective. Pipeline 

operators have been submitting reports 

required by Parts 191 and 195 through 

the PHMSA Portal (https://

portal.phmsa.dot.gov/pipeline) since 

2011. Each company with an Office of 

Pipeline Safety issued Operator 

Identification Number should employ 

staff with access to the PHMSA Portal. 

The user name and password required 

for an operator to access DAMIS and 

enter calendar year 2014 data will be 

available to all staff with access to the 

PHMSA Portal in late December 2014. 

When the DAMIS user name and 

password is available in the Portal, all 

registered users will receive an email to 

that effect. Operator staff with 

responsibility for submitting DAMIS 

reports should coordinate with 

registered Portal users to obtain the 

DAMIS user name and password. 

Registered Portal users for an operator 

typically include the U.S. Department of 

Transportation Compliance Officer and 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
68506 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 221 / Monday, November 17, 2014 / Notices 

staff or consultants with responsibility 

for submitting annual and incident 

reports on PHMSA F 7000- and 7100- 

series forms. 

For operators that have failed to 

register staff in the PHMSA Portal for 

Part 191/195 reporting purposes, 

operator staff responsible for submitting 

DAMIS reports can register in the Portal 

by following the instructions at: http:// 

opsweb.phmsa.dot.gov/portal_message/

PHMSA_Portal_Registration.pdf. 

Pursuant to §§ 199.119(a) and 

199.229(a), operators with 50 or more 

covered employees, including both 

operator and contractor staff, are 

required to submit DAMIS reports 

annually. Operators with less than 50 

total covered employees are required to 

report only upon written request from 

PHMSA. If an operator has submitted a 

calendar year 2012 or later DAMIS 

report with less than 50 total covered 

employees, the PHMSA Portal message 

may state that no calendar year 2014 

DAMIS report is required. Some of these 

operators may have grown to more than 

50 covered employees during calendar 

year 2014. The Portal message will 

include instructions for how these 

operators can obtain a calendar year 

2014 DAMIS user name and password.
