DOT Mod#3 Flashcards
What is the CCF
Custody and control form
What is an eCCF?
Electronic custody and control form
Are you allowed to use a non-federal CCF for. Collections?
No. You must use the currently approved Federal CCF for DOT/Federal urine collections.
You will know you have the right form because, Line D will allow you to select the DOT Agency (such as: FMCSA, FTA, FRA, FAA, PHMSA, and USCG).
Can you use a non-DOT (non-federal) form for a DOT (Federal) Test?
No. Using a non-DOT Form for a DOT Test (and vice versa) can result in enforcement action by the DOT or Dot operating agencies. However, if you accidentally use or must use a non-federal CCF for a DOT Test, this is considered a “correctable flaw”. For example: if you are out of DOT Forms and you need to complete a post-accident urine collection for a DOT covered employee. However, this is not recommended. Afterwards, you will need to follow the rules regarding correcting a “correctable flaw”.
True or false?
All. Specimens must be tested at an HHS certified lab.
True. Specimens must be tested at an HHS (department of health and human services) certified lab.
Do the ID numbers on the seal and the form need to match?
Yes.
The ID numbers on the seals that you put on the bottles need to match the specimen ID number on the top of the CCF. If they do not match, this is considered a fatal flaw and the test will be canceled.
Can the donor fill out step1 on the CCF?
No. Only the collector or employer can fill out step 1.
In Step 1B, can the MRO address be just a PO box?
No. The MRO address must include the physical street address of the MRO’s (medical review officer) office.
What form of identification must The collector use in step 1C of the CCF if the donor is an FMCSA-covered employee ?
For FMCSA-covered employees, The collector must write in the driver’s CDL number instead of their social security number or other ID number.
If the donor will not provide his or her ID number, social security number, is this a refusal to test?
No. If the donor will not provide his or her ID number or social security number, this is not a refusal to test. Simply write a note in the remarks section that they declined to provide an ID or social security number.
What is the FMCSA’s Clearinghouse?
The FMCSA’s Clearinghouse is a real-time database that contains information about CDL driver drug and alcohol testing violations. The Clearinghouse contains information about holders of commercial driver’s licenses and commercial learners permits who are covered by the FMCSA’s drug and alcohol testing program.
How do bats and collectors ensure the success of the FMCSAs clearing House?
Alcohol testing technicians, (BATs) and specimen collectors for DOT drug testing must start using the driver’s commercial driver’s license (CDL) number and the state that issued the license on the alcohol testing forms (ATFs) AND Federal Custody and control forms (CCFs).
Why is there no place on the labs copy of the CCF for the donor’s name?
Because the process is anonymous. Only the donor’s social security number, ID number, or CMV driver’s license number should be on copy one. This is to ensure the laboratory cannot identify whose specimen it is.
In Step 1(D) on the CCS, who do you contact if you do not know which testing authority to check off?
You should contact the designated employer representative (DER) at the company.
Step 1 line D on custody and control form CCF specifies the testing authority. They are the following:
HHS- Health and Human Services
NRC- Nuclear Regulatory Commission
DOT - Department of Transportation
Specify DOT Agency:
FMCSA - Federal Motor Carrier safety administration
FAA - Federal aviation administration
FRA - Federal railroad administration
FTA - Federal Transit administration
PHMSA - Pipeline and hazardous material safety administration
