NOTE: Employers (and C/TPAs) subject to more than one DOT
Agency drug and alcohol testing rule may continue to combine covered
employees into a single random selection pool. However, companies (and C/TPAs)
doing so must test at or above the highest minimum annual random testing
rates established by the DOT Agencies under whose jurisdiction they fall.
For example, an employer having both FMCSA- and FRA-covered employees in one
pool must test, as a minimum rate, 50% for drugs and 10% for alcohol.
Contact the appropriate DOT Agency for additional clarification.
[Please note that USCG covered employees may be combined
with DOT covered employees in drug testing pools even though the USCG is now
part of the Department of Homeland Security.]
