Drug and Alcohol Testing; Substance Abuse Professional Evaluation for Drug Use; Correction

Final rule; correction.

On March 17, 1998, RSPA published a final rule in the Federal Register (63 FR 12998) titled ``Drug and Alcohol Testing; Substance Abuse Professional Evaluation for Drug Use.'' This final rule modified procedures in its drug testing regulations by requiring a face-to-face evaluation by substance abuse professionals (SAP) for pipeline employees who have either received a positive drug test or have refused a drug test required by RSPA. It also revised the word ``employee'' to ``covered employee'' and added the definition of ``covered function.'' This document makes minor corrections to restore text that was in the original version of the regulations, but was inadvertently left out of the Final Rule.
