Mandatory use of the New Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form (CCF)

Starting December 1, 2011 the new Department of Health and Human Services Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form or CFF Form for DOT urine collection must be used.

Some of the changes to the revised CFF  is now there a line for the medical review officer (MRO) to note the drug(s) for which a positive result is verified and a new line item, “other,” for documenting other refusal-to-test situations. There is also a new section that spells out, in one place, the information that employers and their C/TPAs must routinely provide to collectors.

Another amendments include changes the definition of “continuing education” contained in the final rule. Now, it is defined as “training for substance abuse professionals (SAPs) who have completed qualification training and are performing SAP functions, designed to keep SAPs current on changes and developments in the DOT drug and alcohol testing program.” Last year, DOT eliminated the requirement for the MRO to complete continuing education units to satisfy the re-qualification training requirement but failed to amend this definition. Other amendments to the final rule were minor.
