Temporary Extension Granted for 2017 Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) granted an extension for using the 2017 Federal Custody and Control Form (CCF) for Department of Transportation (DOT) urine specimen collections until August 31, 2023.
Either the 2020 Federal CCF or the expired 2017 Federal CCF may be used for urine specimens collected for federal workplace drug testing programs and those collected for testing under DOT regulations.
This extension aims to reduce burden on all drug testing service providers (e.g., collectors, laboratories, Medical Review Officers) and to preserve the supply use by the non-regulated sector, which uses the same materials as the federally regulated sector.
Items currently in short supply nationwide include the carbonless paper used for CCF as well as the resins and plastics used for the labels directly affixed to the form. It should also be noted that items used for specimen collection kits (e.g., cardboard, shipping materials) are also in short supply. There is only one supplier of the carbonless paper, who has indicated they will not be increasing its production.
If you have any questions, please contact your sales executive, account manager, or our customer service team.
