About this Document

The Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance (ODAPC) is taking action to rectify what may be a mischaracterization of some test results as being substituted specimens.

In appropriate cases, ODAPC will reconsider the employee’s original refusal result, when reported from September 1998 through May 2003, and based upon a ‘‘substitution’’ finding in a given numerical range.
