On April 30, 2001, the Office of Pipeline Safety proposed to conform the pipeline facility drug and alcohol testing regulations with corresponding DOT regulations (Procedures for Transportation Workplace Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs). They also proposed miscellaneous changes to the pipeline facility drug and alcohol testing regulations to make them easier to apply and understand. The proposals are intended to ensure the pipeline facility drug and alcohol testing regulations are clear and consistent with the DOT regulations. The proposed rule can be downloaded from RCP's website HERE. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: L. M.
