RULE CHANGES
The rule incorporates the following changes to the NRC’s FFD drug testing requirements in Part 26:
Drug Testing Panel
The rule makes several changes to the drug testing panel included in Part 26. These changes include lowering testing cutoff levels for amphetamine, methamphetamine, and cocaine metabolite; adding methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) to the testing panel; and revising the testing approach for 6-acetyl morphine (6-AM).
Subversion Attempt Detection
The rule incorporates measures to detect and prevent attempts to circumvent testing. For example, the rule revises the special analyses testing provisions in Section 26.163(a)(2) by requiring special analyses testing when a specimen with a dilute validity test result has a drug or drug metabolite concentration at least 40% of the initial test cutoff. It also changes the confirmatory test cutoff from the Limit of Detection to the Limit of Quantitative.
