What happens if collector uses a non-federal form for a DOT-test as it was the only form she/he had?
If the problem is the use of a non-Federal form or an expired Federal form in a DOT collection, the collector must provide a signed statement (i.e. a memorandum for the record). It must state that the incorrect form contains all the information needed for a valid DOT drug test, and that the incorrect form was used inadvertently or as the only means of conducting a test, in circumstances beyond the collector’s control. The statement must also list the steps taken to prevent future use of non-Federal forms or expired Federal forms for DOT tests. For this flaw to be corrected, the test of the specimen must have occurred at a HHS-certified laboratory where it was tested consistent with the requirements of this part.
