Action
<RM>Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
Summary
<RM>This action proposes amendments to the industry drug and alcohol testing regulations to conform with the changes in the Department of Transportation's revision of its drug and alcohol testing procedures regulation, Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs. We also propose to change the antidrug and alcohol misuse prevention program regulations in light of the amendments that have been made to the medical standards and certification requirements. We further propose eliminating certain requirements under reasonable suspicion and post-accident alcohol testing because these requirements are outdated and no longer valid. These proposals are intended to update and clarify the regulations based on the Department of Transportation's revisions and previous FAA rulemakings.
