About this file
This file is a workflow chart and relationship map document that illustrates the organizational structure and authority hierarchy of the Federal Workplace Drug Testing Program and the National Laboratory Certification Program (NLCP).
The document establishes that the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) sets national drug-control policy, with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) serving as the federal authority for the program. Within HHS, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) administers program responsibilities, with the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) serving as the organizational home for the Division of Workplace Programs (DWP). The DWP establishes requirements and oversees the NLCP, while the NLCP operates as the certification and oversight program that applies scientific and technical standards developed by DWP. The chart clarifies that DWP does not conduct drug testing itself; rather, DWP establishes requirements and NLCP supports certification and oversight functions, with certified laboratories and Initial Testing Immunoassay Facilities (IITFs) performing the actual testing as regulated participants. Testing participants and users include federal agencies and regulated programs (Department of Defense, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Department of Transportation) that must follow HHS Mandatory Guidelines and use only HHS-certified laboratories. The document is sourced from Executive Order 12564 and Public Law 100-71, and notes that certified laboratory and IITF lists are updated monthly and should be verified before final distribution.

DWP
Establishes requirements and oversees NLCP Direction of authority / program responsibility
HHS Mandatory Guidelines Scientific + technical standards for urine and oral fluid programs DWP develops/updates guidelines; NLCP applies standards for certification and ongoing oversight.
NLCP
Operational certification + oversight program used by HHS/SAMHSA/DWP
Certification / Application support
Inspection oversight
Performance testing
Problem resolution
Scientific / technical / regulatory support
Applied studies / technical studies
Federal agencies + regulated programs Follow HHS Mandatory Guidelines and/or use HHS-certified labs including:
Department of War / Defense, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Department of Transportation
Applicant labs / IITFs Seek certification; submit application, PT, inspection, corrective actions
Certified laboratories Conduct federally regulated urine drug + specimen validity testing
Certified IITF Authorized urine initial testing + specimen validity functions
Oral fluid certification status No laboratories currently certified for oral fluid testing
Key distinction DWP/NLCP does not conduct drug testing. DWP establishes requirements; NLCP supports certification/oversight; certified laboratories and IITFs perform testing as regulated participants.
