Action
Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM).
Summary
In Notice 02-04, published on February 28, 2002, the FAA proposed to make it clear that each person who performs a safety- sensitive function directly or by contract (including by subcontract at any tier) for an employer is subject to drug and alcohol testing. The comment period closed on July 29, 2002. Several commenters stated that the change was more than clarifying and would have an economic impact. The FAA has prepared an initial regulatory evaluation on this issue. The FAA is reopening the issue for public comment before making a final determination.
