Summary
Under FRA's regulations on drug and alcohol testing, each year the Federal Railroad Administrator (Administrator) determines the minimum annual percentage rate for random drug and alcohol testing for the rail industry. Currently, the minimum rates for both drug and alcohol random testing are set at 25 percent. After reviewing the rail industry drug and alcohol management information system (MIS) data for 1996 and 1997, as well as data from compliance reviews of rail industry drug and alcohol testing programs, the Administrator has determined that the minimum annual random drug and alcohol testing rates for the period January 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999 will remain at 25 percent of covered railroad employees.
