Alcohol Testing; Amended Implementation Dates for Pre-Employment Alcohol Testing and Mandatory Reasonable Suspicion Testing

Action

Final rule.

Summary

FRA amends the implementation dates for pre-employment alcohol testing and mandatory reasonable suspicion testing to allow Class II and Class III railroads to implement these types of testing simultaneously with random alcohol testing (on July 1, 1995, and January 1, 1996, respectively). This new implementation schedule provides more time for smaller railroads to phase-in alcohol testing.
