On February 3, 2010, the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing revisions to the drug testing procedures found in the federal motor carrier regulations at 49 C.F.R. Part 40. By and large, the proposed revisions affect the operations of drug screening facilities, and are intended to bring the DOT regulations into conformity with certain regulations of the Department of Health and Human Services. However, the proposed rule also requires testing for MDMA (aka, ecstasy) and lowers the initial and confirmatory testing thresholds for amphetamines and cocaine. Comments to the rulemaking must be filed by April 5, 2010.
