3 It has served as the standard for federal agency Drug-Free Workplace plans and programs ever since. It has also been widely adapted and adopted in the private and non-federal public sectors and incorporated into numerous collectively bargained agreements throughout the American economy. The Model plan has proven to be an exceptionally durable document and continues to be the standard for federal agency Drug-Free Workplace plans and programs. The second edition updates legal citations and terms of art, incorporates the addition of four semi-synthetic opioids to the list of drugs routinely tested for, and adds the use of oral fluid in lieu of urine drug testing.

4 The second edition has been shared with the successor group, the Interagency Coordinating Group Executive Committee, which is convened by the Office of National drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and has the same representation as the predecessor group.

Printed 1989; Reprinted 1990. Second Edition April 2022. ii I. Introduction A. Background On September 15, 1986, President Reagan signed Executive Order 12564, establishing the goal of a Drug-Free Federal Workplace . The Order made it a condition of employment for all federal employees to refrain from using illegal drugs on or off duty. The Executive Order recognized that illegal drug use was seriously impairing a portion of the national work force, resulting in the loss of billions of dollars each year.

6 As the largest employer in the Nation, the Federal Government had a compelling proprietary interest in establishing reasonable conditions of employment. Prohibiting employee drug use is one such condition. On July 11, 1987, Congress passed legislation affecting implementation of the Executive Order under Section 503 of the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 1987, Pub. L. 100-71, 101 Stat. 391, 468-471, codified at 5 7301 note (1987), (hereafter, the "Act"), in an attempt to establish uniformity among federal agency drug testing plans, reliable and accurate drug testing, employee access to drug testing records, confidentiality of drug test results, and centralized oversight of the Federal Government's drug testing program.

7 The Executive Order and Public Law assigned significant responsibilities to HHS, DOJ, and OPM. Representatives of these three agencies came together to form the Interagency Coordinating Group which authored the original Model Plan in 1989. In 1990, the former General Accounting Office conducted a review of the Federal drug - free Workplace Program, concluding that, while the three agencies were fulfilling their responsibilities, no single agency was designated as the lead. On March 5, 1991, President Bush designated the ONDCP as the lead agency for Federal Drug-Free Workplace Program implementation. ONDCP subsequently convened the three agencies as the Interagency Coordinating Group Executive Committee to become the policy-setting body for the program and to offer concurrence on substantive changes in agency plans and on addition of positions designated for random testing, a role that it continues to play.

8 The purpose of the [Agency/Department ] Drug-Free Workplace Plan is to set forth objectives, policies, procedures, and implementation guidelines, to achieve a Drug-Free federal Workplace , consistent with the Executive Order and Section 503 of the Act. B. Statement of Policy The [Agency/Department], as a result of its [describe type of] responsibilities, as well as the sensitive nature of its work, has a compelling obligation to eliminate illicit drug and illegal opioid use from its Workplace . [Insert a one-page summary that describes the two or three most significant aspects of your agency's/. Department's mission and the risk posed by employee use of illicit drugs and illegal opioids.]

9 ]. The success of a Drug-Free Workplace program depends on how well the [Agency/Department] informs its employees of the hazards of drug use, and on how much assistance it can provide drug users. Equally important is the assurance to employees that personal dignity and privacy will be respected in reaching the [Agency's/Department's] goal of a Drug-Free Workplace . Therefore, this plan includes policies and procedures for: (1) employee assistance; (2) supervisory training; (3). 1. employee education; and (4) identification of illicit drug and illegal opioid use through drug testing on a carefully controlled and monitored basis.

10 C. Nature, Frequency, and Type of drug Testing to be Instituted Section 503 of the Act requires the [Agency/Department] Plan to specify the nature, frequency, and type of drug testing to be instituted. The [Agency/Department] Plan includes the following types of drug testing: (1) applicant testing; (2) random testing of those employees in sensitive positions selected as testing designated positions (TDPs);. (3) reasonable suspicion testing; (4) accident or unsafe practice testing; (5) voluntary testing, and (6) testing as part of or as a follow-up to counseling or rehabilitation. The frequency of testing for random testing, voluntary testing, and follow-up testing is specified in Section XV, Section XII(B), and Section XII(C), respectively.
