Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 43 - NATURAL RESOURCES › Part XIII - Office of Conservation-Pipeline Safety › Subpart 4 - Drug and Alcohol Testing › Chapter 65 - Alcohol Misuse Prevention Program [49 CFR Part 192 Subpart C] › Section XIII-6529 - Reporting of Alcohol Testing Results [49 CFR 199.229]

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Each large operator (having more than 50
				  covered employees) must submit an annual MIS report to PHMSA of its alcohol
				  testing results using the MIS form and instructions as required by 49 CFR part
				  40 (at § 40.26 and appendix H to part 40), not later than March 15 of each
				  year for the prior calendar year (January 1 through December 31). The
				  Administrator may require by notice in the PHMSA Portal
				  (https://portal.phmsa.dot.gov/phmsaportallanding) that small operators (50 or
				  fewer covered employees), not otherwise required to submit annual MIS reports,
				  to prepare and submit such reports to PHMSA. [
				49 CFR
				  199.229(a)]
B. Each operator that has a covered employee
				  who performs multi-DOT agency functions (e.g., an employee performs pipeline
				  maintenance duties and drives a commercial motor vehicle), count the employee
				  only on the MIS report for the DOT agency under which he or she is tested.
				  Normally, this will be the DOT agency under which the employee performs more
				  than 50 percent of his or her duties. Operators may have to explain the testing
				  data for these employees in the event of a DOT agency inspection or audit. [
				49 CFR
				  199.229(b)]
C. Each report required under this section
				  must be submitted electronically at http://damis.dot.gov. An operator may
				  obtain the user name and password needed for electronic reporting from the
				  PHMSA Portal (https://portal.phmsa.dot.gov/phmsaportallanding). If electronic
				  reporting imposes an undue burden and hardship, the operator may submit a
				  written request for an alternative reporting method to the Information
				  Resources Manager, Office of Pipeline Safety, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
				  Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590. The
				  request must describe the undue burden and hardship. PHMSA will review the
				  request and may authorize, in writing, an alternative reporting method. An
				  authorization will state the period for which it is valid, which may be
				  indefinite. An operator must contact PHMSA at 202-366-8075, or electronically
				  to informationresourcesmanager@dot.gov to make arrangements for submitting a
				  report that is due after a request for alternative reporting is submitted but
				  before an authorization or denial is received. [
				49 CFR
				  199.229(c)]
D. A service agent (e.g., Consortia/Third
				  Party Administrator as defined in Part 40) may prepare the MIS report on behalf
				  of an operator. However, each report shall be certified by the operator's
				  anti-drug manager or designated representative for accuracy and completeness. [
				49 CFR
				  199.229(d)]
