DATIA Submits Comments Concerning FAA's Antidrug and Alcohol Misuse Prevention Programs for Personnel Engaged in Specified Aviation Activities
|
|
DATIA submitted comments in reference to the February 28, 2002 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking concerning the Federal Aviation Administration’s antidrug and alcohol misuse prevention programs for personnel engaged in specified aviation activities. Overall, DATIA feels that the changes proposed will enhance the FAA’s antidrug and alcohol misuse prevention programs. Specifically, tightening the pre-employment testing requirements and assurances of contractor participation in antidrug and alcohol misuse prevention programs will assist in ensuring safe air travel. Read DATIA's comments. The FAA has extended its comment period for this NPRM until July 29, 2002; therefore, we encourage all DATIA members involved in FAA testing to submit comments.

Question & Answer: Excerpts from the Response Letter from DOT to DATIA
|
|
Question: What actions should the collector take if the donor flushes the toilet during the collection process, and does this constitute behavior clearly indicating an attempt to adulterate the specimen?
Answer: “Flushing the toilet does not automatically require a recollection (most individuals do this as an automatic reflex) nor does it clearly indicate an attempt to adulterate the specimen; other factors would also have to be considered.”
