The imesrllvoftheorocess is insured Onrush, oicdue identification ofthe emolovee: Federal Drop Custody and Control Farm with unuouse specimen idectification popularlebod by a trained collection siteh insures that the Custody and C trol Funn is conardleted exurroctiv, shared and certifiedb th donor(molovee)- and collection of Split Sample Specimens that are sealed and hddaled by the donor faaoluveel. The drugs that will be tested for include marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, and phencyclidine. After the identity of the donor is ohecl:ed using picture identification, a urine specimen will be collected using the split specimen collection method described in 49 CFR Part 40, as amended. Each specimen will be accompanded by a D(YT Chain of Custody and Control Foam and identified using a unique identification number that attributes the specimen to the correct individual. The specimen analysis will be conducted at a HHS certified laboratory. An initial drug screen and validity test will be conducted on the primary urine specimen. For those specimen that are not negative, a wnfirmamry Gas Cbrorabgmphy/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) test will be per ed. The test will be considered positive if the amounts of the drug(s) and/or its metabolites identified by the GC/MS test are above the minimum thresholds established in 49 CFR Pan 40, as amended. Pursuant to the Federal regulations, the drugs to be tested far and the threshold levels of each test are as follows: - Dore or Metabolite GC/MS cutoff Udine Screen Confirmation Test wmogmms/mL mm�ogramahnL 1.

This test will only be conducted whena specimen contains morphine at a concentration greater than or equal to 20M ngyn L. 06 273 The test results from the HHS certified laboratory will be reported to a Medial Review Officer (MRO). An MRO is a licensed physician with detailed knowledge of substance abuse disorders and drug testing.

The MRO will attempt to contact the employee to notify the employee of the non -negative laboratory result, and provide the employee with an apparently to explain the confirmed laboratory tat result The MRO will subsequently, review the employee's medical history/medial records as appropriate n determine whether there is a legitimate medical explanation for a marnegative laboratory resdt If no legitimate medical is found, the test will be verified positive or refusal to test and reported to the COB-BAT/CC Itrug and Alcohol Program Manages (DAPM). If legitimate explanation is found, the MRO will report the test result as negative to the DAPM and no further action will be taken. If the test is invalid with out amalical explanation, a retest will be conducted under direct observation. Any covered employee who questions the readis of required drug test under paragraphs L through P of this policy may request that the split sample be tested. The split sample test must be conducted a a second HHS -certified laboratory with no affiliation with the laboratory that analyzed the primary, specimen The test most be conducted on the split sample that was provided by the employee at the same time as the primary sample. The method ofcmllavng, storing, and losing the split sample will be consistent with the procedures set forth in 49 CFR Par 40, as amended. The employee's rep lest for a split sample test must be made to the Medial Review Officer wither 72 hours ofrmfice of the original sample verified lest result Requests alter 72 hours will only be accepted at the discretion of the MRO if the delay was due to documentable facts thd war beyond the control of the employee. COB-BAT/CC will ensure that the cost for the split specimen are covered n order for a timely analysis of the sample, however COB-BAT/CC may seek reimbursement for the start smmnla test from the emalovee If the analysis of the split specimen fails to confirm the presence of the drug(s) detected in the primary spaimen if the split specimen is not able to be analyred, or ifthe results of the split specimen are not scientifically adequate, the MRO will declare the original test to be canceled and will direct COB-BAT/CC to retest the employee under direct observation. The split - specimen will be stored at the initial laboratory=61 the analysis of the primary specha m is completed. If the primary specimen is negative, the split will be discarded. If the primary is positive, the split will be retained for testing if so requested by the employee through the Medical Review Offices. If the primary specimen is positive, it will be retained in frozen storage for one year and the split specimen will also be retained for one year. Observed collections: Cmisntent with 49 CFR Part 40, as amended, collection undo direct observation (by a person of the same gender) with no advance notice will ocem if: (1) The laboratory reports to the MRO that a specimen is invalid, and the MRO reports m COB-BAT/CC that there was not an adaption medical explanation for the result or 10 06 X73 (2) The MRO reports to COB-HAT/CC that the original positive, adulterated, or substituted test result had to be cancelled because the lest of the split specimen could not be performed. (3) The collector observes materials brought to the collection site or the employee's conduct clearly indicates an attempt to tamper with a specimen or (4) The temperature on the original specimen was out of =go. In addition, COB-BAT/CC may direct a collection under direct observation of an employee if the drug lest is arwum-ter-duty lost or a Nllow-up test. J. ALCOHOL TESTING PROCEDURES Tests for breath alcohol concentration will be conducted utilizing a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)-appmvM Evidential Breath Testing device (EBT) operated by a trained BreaN Alcohol Technician (BAT). Alcohol screening tests may be performed using a non-evidernial testing device, which is also approved by NHSTA. If the initial test urticates an alcohol cone mrcation of 0.02 or greater, a second test will be performed to confirm rise results of the initial test. The confirmatory test must occur on an EBT. The confimmtory, test will be conducted at least fifteen minutes after the completion of the initial test. The confirmatory test will be performed using an NHTSA-approved EBT operated by a trained BAT. The EBT will identify each test by a unique extremist identification number. This number, time, and unit identifier will be provided on each EBT penchant The EBT printout, along with an approved alcohol testing form, will be used N document the rost, the subsequent results, and to attribute the test to the correct employee. The lost will be pert M in a private, confidential manner as montured by 49 CFR Pan 40, as amended. The procedure will be followed as prescribed to protect the employee and to maintain the integrity of the alcohol testing procedures and validity of the test result. An employee who has a confimnM alcohol concentration of 0.04 or greater will be considered a positive alcohol test and in violation of this policy. The consequences of positive alcohol test are described in Section Q. 5 of this policy. Even though an employee who has a continental alcohol concentration of 0.02 N 0.039 is not considerad positive, the employee shall still be removed from duty for at least eight hours or for Ne duration of the work day whichever is longer and will be subject to the consequences described in Section Q.9 of Nis policy. An alcohol concentration of less than 0.02 will be considered a negative test. COB-BAT/CC affimrs the need to protect individual dignity, privacy, and confidentiality throughout the testing process. If at any time Ne integrity of the testing procedures or the validity of the test results is compromised, the test will be canceled. Minor or procedural flaws that do not impact the test result will not result in a cancelled test. The alcohol testing form (ATF) reyumad by 49 CFR Part 40 as amended, shall be used for all FTA required testing Failum of an employee to sign step 2 of the ATF will be considered a refusal to submit to testing 06 273 KPR EMPIAY TTESTING All applicants for covered transit positions shall undergo urine drug testing prior to performance of a safety -sensitive function.

(2) A non covered employee shall not be placed, transferred or promoted raw a covered position urdil the employee takes a drug test with verified negative results. (3) If an applicant fails a pre-employment drug too, the conditional offer of employment 'shall be rescinded.
