Measuring Effectiveness of Lower Cutoff Levels for Alcohol, 2018 [DRAFT]

Slide9 42% of alcohol positives (BAC < 0.04) are the result of time dependent cutoff levels, which have been required since 2008 32-60% of positive alcohol results per test category were BAC < 0.04

Testing for Additional Substances In 2018, eight facilities conducted expanded panel testing in two ways:

Tested all specimens collected for barbiturates, benzodiazepines, methadone, and propoxyphene (four facilities, one FFD program)

Tested follow-up, for cause, and post-event testing specimens for benzodiazepines (i.e., alprazolam, clonazepam, and lorazepam), and hydromorphone, hydrocodone, and oxycodone (four facilities, one FFD program)

Typically, a few facilities each year conduct testing for one or more additional substances when ordered by the MRO (e.g., for-cause or follow-up test).

Subversion Attempt Trends [Draft]

Subversion attempt is any willful act or attempted act to cheat on a required test (e.g., refuse to provide a specimen, alter a specimen with an adulterant, provide a specimen that is not from the donors body)

Sanction for a subversion attempt is a permanent denial of unescorted access (10 CFR 26.75)

Slide13 Subversion Attempt Trends (last 5 years) 2014 - 187 subversions (21.2% of drug testing violations) 2015 - 232 subversions (21.2% of drug testing violations) 2016 - 305 subversions (32.4% of drug testing violations) 2017 - 301 subversions (33.5% of drug testing violations) 2018 - 298 subversions (31.0% of drug testing violations)

Subversion Attempts in 2018:

70.0% facilities with at least 1 subversion attempt (50of71) 77.5% identified at Pre-Access testing (231 of 298) 95.6% by contractor/vendors (285 of 298)

Limit of Detection (LOD) Testing of Dilute Specimens 10 CFR 26.163(a)(2) permits a licensee to require the HHS-certified laboratory to conduct confirmatory drug testing to LOD for a substance if:

1. Validity test result = Dilute, and

2. Immunoassay response is equal to or greater than 50% of cutoff 66 of 71 sites maintained the optional LOD testing policy in 2018 422 dilute specimens were tested to LOD in 2018, with 17 individuals testing positive 35% sites (23 of 66) conducted at least one 26.163(a)(2) test in 2018 Slide15

Slide16

HHS-Certified Laboratory Testing Errors, 2018 10 CFR 26.719 (30-day event reports)

1) A blind performance test sample (BPTS) formulated to return an adulterated validity test result (due to low pH) was reported with negative drug test results. The forensic processing technician did not properly aliquot all of the original specimen to the correct sample cup, which caused the incorrect result.

2) A donor specimen was reported as negative dilute. Two days later, the laboratory updated the result to negative. It was determined that the Screening Technician did not load the specimen on the refractometer consistent with the Standard Operating Procedure, which resulted in an incorrect specific gravity value. A second aliquot of the sample consistent with the applicable procedure determined the specimen was not dilute.

4) A BPTS formulated to test positive for marijuana was reported by the HHS-certified laboratory as negative. The BPTS was a false negative challenge sample formulated at between 130 and 155 percent of the initial testing cutoff concentration for marijuana). The licensee determined the unexpected results were related to the BPTS supplier's preparation and/or preservation of the samples.

Proposed Rule Information:

Subversion Attempt Enhancements Slide24 Special analyses testing under 26.163(a)(2):

Require testing of dilutes (before optional)

Add specimens collected under direct observation when indications of a subversion attempt on initial collection Change drug concentration on initial test that triggers special analyses testing (from 50% of cutoff to 40% of cutoff)

Change confirmatory testing to Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) from the Limit of Detection (LOD)

Proposed Rule Information:

Other Notable Changes Donor protections:

- Verbal request for retest (MRO document request)

- MRO review of invalid specimens 9.0 to 9.5 (handling conditions)

Hydration monitor: permit FFD program personal to monitor donor hydrating (currently, the collector who started the collection process must stay with donor)

Will concurrently publish a draft regulatory guide (limited information specific to current rulemaking)

Will include a question on 2017 HHS Guidelines in proposed rule Slide25

Cannabidiol, Hemp, and Marijuana Slide26 10 CFR 26.185(j) - Review of opiates, prescription and OTC medications (4)(ii) There can be a legitimate medical explanation only with respect to a drug that has a legitimate medical use.

(5)

The MRO may not consider consumption of food products, supplements, or other preparations containing substances that may result in a positive confirmatory drug test result, including, but not limited to supplements containing hemp products or coca leaf tea, as a legitimate medical explanation for the presence of drugs or drug metabolites in the urine specimen above the cutoff levels specified in § 26.163 or a licensees or other entitys more stringent cutoff levels.

Cannabidiol, Hemp, and Marijuana Slide27 Date:

May 26, 2015 From:

Katherine Archuleta, Director, U.S. Office of Personnel Management

Subject:

Federal Laws and Policies Prohibiting Marijuana Use Federal law on marijuana remains unchanged. Marijuana is categorized as a controlled substance under Schedule I of the Controlled substance Act.

Thus knowing or intentional marijuana possession is illegal, even if an individual has no intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense marijuana. In addition, Executive Order 12564, Drug-Free Federal Workplace, mandates that (a) Federal employees are required to refrain from use of illegal drugs; (b) the use of illegal drugs by Federal employees, whether on or off duty, is contrary to the efficiency of the service

Cannabidiol, Hemp, and Marijuana Slide28 Date:

November 22, 2017 From:

Ron Flegal, B.S., MT (ASSCP), M.S., Director, HHS/SAMHSA/DWP

Subject:

Use of Marijuana Oils or Marijuana Infused Commercial Products Marijuana products, including CBD, are classified as Schedule I controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act and, thus, are illegal under federal law.

CBD is chemically distinguishable from THC and will not cause a positive drug test result under the current drug testing panel but is a Schedule I drug.

However, CBD products may contain other cannabinoids such as THC, therefore, use of CBD oils and marijuana-derived products may result in a positive urine drug test for THCA.

Slide29 Sec 7606 of the Agricultural Act of 2018 (Farm Bill)

Permits agricultural research pilot programs to grow industrial hemp The term industrial hemp includes the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part or derivative of such plant, including seeds of such plant, whether growing or not, that is used exclusively for industrial purposes (fiber and seed) with a tetrahydrocannabinols concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis The term tetrahydrocannabinols includes all isomers (CBD), acids, salts, and salts of isomers of tetrahydrocannabinols

Slide30 Enforcement Policy Revision SRM-SECY-17-0059 Proposed Enforcement Policy Revision for Processing Fitness-For-Duty Cases Resulting from Site Fitness-For-Duty Drug and Alcohol Violations by Individuals (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML16355A048 and ML19108A476)

Federal Register Notice Processing Fitness-for-Duty Drug and Alcohol Cases 84 FR 34363; May 28, 2019; Office of Enforcement Revision to the NRC Enforcement Policy, Section 4.1, Considerations in Determining Enforcement Actions Involving Individuals:

For FFD violations involving non-licensed individuals who violate drug and alcohol provisions of site FFD programs, which are explicitly described in § 26.75, Sanctions, the NRC will not typically consider FFD drug and alcohol-related violations for enforcement action unless there is an apparent deficiency in the licensees FFD program to take the required sanctions against the individual(s) or deficiencies in implementation of the licensee FFD program.

Reporting of Alcohol-related Events Slide31 10 CFR 26.719 (b) Significant FFD policy violations or programmatic failures. The following significant FFD policy violations and programmatic failures must be reported to the NRC Operations Center by telephone within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after the licensee or other entity discovers the violation:

(1) The use, sale, distribution, possession, or presence of illegal drugs, or the consumption or presence of alcohol within a protected area (2) Any acts by any person licensed under 10 CFR parts 52 and/or 55 to operate a power reactor, as well as any acts by SSNM transporters, FFD program personnel, or any supervisory personnel who are authorized under this part, if such acts (iii) Involve the consumption of alcohol within a protected area or while performing the duties that require the individual to be subject to the FFD program

Reporting of Alcohol-related Events Slide32 Response to NEI question on the reporting of alcohol-related occurrences to the NRC Headquarters Operation Center (HOC) pursuant to 10 CFR 26.719(b)(1) and (b)(2)(iii):

Licensees should report to the NRC HOC alcohol-related events when they involve a liquid having an alcohol concentration equal to or greater than 0.5 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), as measured by the licensee or other entity, or a container labeled pursuant to the United States Department of the Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau under 27 CFR Part 16, Alcoholic Beverage Health Warning Label.

Posted on the FAQ website on June 13, 2019 (https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML1908/ML19084A144.html)

Reporting of Alcohol-related Events Slide33 Additional Guidance

1. Alcohol is a substance intended for human consumption with a molecular formula of C2H5OH. Alcohol is typically in a liquid form (e.g., liquor, beer, wine) but can come in many forms (used as an ingredient in a marinade, sauce, or extract; infused into a solid such as a cake; converted to a powder form; vaporized; prescription and over-the-counter medications).

2. An empty can, bottle, box with a label indicating at least 0.5 percent ABV alcohol that is identified in a PA should be reported to the HOC. If the licensee or other entity determines the product was not recently used (e.g.,

container was covered with dust, cobwebs, etc.) the event should not be reported.

Reporting of Alcohol-related Events Slide34 Additional Guidance

3. For consumable products, including over-the-counter and prescription medications, that list alcohol as an ingredient, but do not have a Federal alcohol label, licensees and other entities should use their site processes and procedures to determine if a report to the NRC HOC is needed.

4. Products with denatured alcohol such as Listerine, Purell hand sanitizer, or cosmetics, are not alcohol under 10 CFR Part 26.

Slide35 Submission of FFD Forms containing PII Be aware when submitting FFD program performance reports (Single Positive Test Forms) the NRC using the NRCs Electronic Information Exchange (EIE)

EIE saves both the licensee-designated "File Name" and "Document Title" entered for each FFD form uploaded and submitted to the NRC.

DONOTincludeanypersonallyidentifyinginformationormedicalinformationintheFileName" or"DocumentTitle"fields,suchasaperson's name, initials, social security number, or site badge number.

OpE Topic 1 -

Follow-up testing 26.31(c)(4)

Performed because of:

A prior positive 10 CFR Part 26 drug/alcohol test Potentially disqualifying FFD information

Purpose:

Detection (confirms continued abstinence)

Deterrence Operational issues impacting:

Not onsite on a regular basis (e.g., contractor)

OpE Topic 2 -

Testing of Remote Location Personnel Can a hospital or other location meeting U.S. DOT 49 CFR Part 40 requirements collect specimens for a 10 CFR Part 26 FFD program?

Yes, but only for FFD program personnel and only under limited circumstances. Section 26.31(b) permits use of a 49 CFR Part 40 compliant location to collect alcohol and drug testing specimens from FFD program personnel who are:

1) involved in day-to-day operations (as defined in licensee procedures)

AND

2) whose duties require access OR who perform activities listed in 26.4(g)

Slide39 Note:SubpartK(constructionsitesalso canutilize49CFRPart40collectionsites)

OpE Topic 3 -

Alternate Specimen Collections Licensees and other entities can collect an alternate specimen in three circumstances:

1)

Shy-bladder medication condition highly likely to prevent the donor from providing a sufficient amount of urine for a very long or indefinite period - 26.119(g)(3) 2)

Invalid specimen with an acceptable medical explanation and an invalid result similarly would affect the testing of another urine specimen - 26.185(f)(2) 3)

Medical condition that makes collection of breath, oral fluids, or urine specimens difficult or hazardous - 26.31(d)(5)(i)

Slide40

OpE Topic 4 -

Gender Identity and Observed Collections 26.115 Collecting a urine specimen under direct observation.

(e) The collector shall ensure that the observer is the same gender as the individual. A person of the opposite gender may not act as the observer under any conditions.

Part 26 is silent on how the gender of an individual is to be determined.

HHS --Urine Specimen Collection Handbook for Federal Agency Workplace Drug Testing Programs (pages 26-27, 10/01/2017)

The observers gender must be the same as the donors gender, which is determined by the donors gender identity.The donors gender identity may be the same as or different from the donors sex assigned at birth.
