A Notice to Collectors on the Use of the Electronic Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control (eCCF) form

The Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance issued a final rule on April 13, 2015 that allows employers, collectors, laboratories, and Medical Review Officers to use the electronic version of the Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form (eCCF) in the DOT-regulated drug testing program.  The final rule was effective April 13, 2015.  The final rule can be viewed at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2015-04-13/pdf/2015-08256.pdf.

It is important to remember, that as a collector you can begin using the eCCF only when the employer’s laboratory has been approved through the Department of Health and Human Services National Laboratory Certification Program to use a specific eCCF and the employer has decided to use the eCCF.

Because the use of the eCCF is new to the DOT drug testing process, the attached notice to collectors provides guidance on the use of the eCCF.
