Not later than 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States shall— review the Department of Transportation’s process for setting guidelines and drug testing requirements for transportation employees subject to the Department’s drug and alcohol testing policies; and submit a report to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives that summarizes the results of such review.
The report required under subsection (a)(2) shall include— a description of the process used by the Department of Health and Human Services for adding and removing categories of drugs to and from the Federal workplace drug testing requirements; an evaluation of the dependence of the Department of Transportation on the Department of Health and Human Services’ determination whether to add new categories of drugs to the testing panel; and an assessment of whether the process used by the Department of Health and Human Services for adding and removing categories of drugs to and from the Federal workplace drug testing requirements sufficiently addresses the needs of the transportation industry for drug and alcohol testing to prevent drug and alcohol-related incidents.
