DOT Renews the Paperwork Behind Transportation Drug and Alcohol Tests

## Summary

The Department of Transportation wants to keep collecting info about drug and alcohol tests in transportation jobs to keep everyone safe. They’re asking for public feedback by January 8, 2027, before renewing this paperwork. This affects transportation workers and companies, but no big changes or costs are expected—just a smooth continuation of safety checks.

## Abstract

The Department of Transportation (DOT) invites public comments about our intention to request Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew the information collection approved under OMB Control No. 2105-0529, Procedures for Transportation Drug and Alcohol Testing Program. The information to be collected will be used to document tests conducted and actions taken to ensure safety in the workplace or is otherwise necessary to collect under the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991, which requires DOT to implement a drug and alcohol testing program in various transportation-related industries. DOT is required to publish this notice in the Federal Register in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
