In addition those testing between 0.02 and 0.039 must be removed from safety sensitive function for at least 8 hours or until another breath test indicates a result less than 0.02. As noted above most companies' policies will differ from that within the rules. I would like to be able to self-test. DOT is currently considering allowing several individual, self contained testing apparatus to be used. These devices will be obtainable by individuals at reasonable cost.
Final approval is pending.
Further information on these devices will be published at a later date. Yes, violations will be reported to the Federal Air Surgeon within 2 working days on all individuals holding a medical certificate issued under Part 67 of the regulations. SAP evaluations must also be reported to the Federal Air Surgeon on all Part 67 medical certificate holders within 2 working days of the reports receipt. If you test between 0.02 and 0.039 and the company requires a SAP evaluation, this will likely be reported by the company to the Federal Air Surgeon. Once FAA has received the medical reports, they will then determine further action if any.
