DOT Announces new CCF
DOT ANNOUNCES NEW CUSTODY AND CONTROL FORM
New CCF Includes Field for Driver CDL Information
On August 30, 2020, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced that the revised Federal Drug Testing and Custody and Control Form (CCF) was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). While the “old” CCF can be used until August 30, 2021, the new CCF is approved for use as of September 1, 2020. You can download a PDF version of the new CCF.
One of the updates in the new CCF is the addition of “CDL State and no.” to the line that captures donor identification information. Including a driver’s commercial driver’s license (CDL) number and State of issuance here for all FMCSA-regulated tests will greatly assist medical review officers (MROs) in reporting drug and alcohol violations in the Clearinghouse.
Reminders for MROs Are Your Qualifications Current?
To remain eligible to act as an MRO in the DOT drug and alcohol testing program, you have a continuing obligation to comply with the MRO qualification requirements in 49 CFR § 40.121, including credentials, basic knowledge, qualification training, requalification training, and documentation. Failure to comply with these requirements, at any time, will render you unqualified to perform MRO services for the DOT program.
Do you subscribe to ODAPC emails?
Per § 40.121(b)(3), an MRO must subscribe to receive email updates from the USDOT Office of Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance (ODAPC). Subscribing will help you keep current on any changes to DOT MRO Guidelines. If you are not receiving these updates, subscribe today.
