#  Alcohol and Drug Testing: Change of Corporate Name, Address, and Telephone Numbers of Post-Accident Toxicological Testing Laboratory

**AGENCY:**

Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), DOT.

**ACTION:**

Final rule; technical amendment.

**SUMMARY:**

FRA is amending its alcohol and drug rule to reflect changes to the corporate name, address, and telephone numbers of the laboratory designated to conduct post-accident toxicological testing.

**DATES:**

Effective April 4, 2005.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Lamar Allen, Alcohol and Drug Program Manager, Office of Safety Enforcement, Mail Stop 25, Federal Railroad Administration, 1120 Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20005, (202) 493-6313); or Kathy Schnakenberg, FRA Alcohol/Drug Program Specialist, (816) 561-2714.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**

FRA is amending appendix B to part 219 to reflect changes to the corporate name, address, and telephone numbers of the laboratory designated to conduct post-accident toxicological testing. In 1995, FRA awarded a contract to Northwest Toxicology, Inc. to conduct post-accident toxicological testing. The laboratory has since changed its corporate name twice; in 1998, when Northwest Toxicology, Inc. changed its corporate name to NWT Inc.; and in 2003, when LabOne acquired a division of NWT Inc. and changed the laboratory's name to Northwest Toxicology, a LabOne Company. FRA has modified its post-accident testing contract to recognize the laboratory's name change. Northwest Toxicology, a LabOne Company, recently moved to a new location. For mailing purposes, railroads should ship post-accident toxicological testing specimens to the following address and use the telephone numbers below: Northwest Toxicology/LabOne, Hayes Building, Suite #C, 2282 South Presidents Drive, West Valley City, UT 84120, Telephone: (800) 322-3361 or (801) 293-2300 (Day), (801) 244-5599 (Night/Weekend).

**List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 219**

Alcohol abuse, Drug abuse, Drug testing, Penalties, Railroad safety, Safety, Transportation.

**The Final Rule**

**49 CFR Part 219**

In consideration of the foregoing, FRA amends chapter II, subtitle B of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations as follows:

**PART 219—[AMENDED]**

1. The authority citation for part 219 continues to read as follows:

**Authority:**

49 U.S.C. 20103, 20107, 20140, 21301, 21304, 21311; 28 U.S.C. 2461, note; and 49 CFR 1.49(m).

**49 CFR Part 219**

2. Appendix B to part 219 is revised to read as follows:

**Appendix B to Part 219—Designation of Laboratory for Post-Accident Toxicological Testing**

The following laboratory is currently designated to conduct post-accident toxicological analysis under subpart C of this part: Northwest Toxicology/LabOne, Hayes Building, Suite #C, 2282 South Presidents Drive, West Valley City, UT 84120, Telephone: (800) 322-3361 or (801) 293-2300 (Day), (801) 244-5599 (Night/Weekend).
