What Is the Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form?

The Federal Drug Testing Custody and Control Form (CCF) is the form that 49 CFR 40.40 requires for documenting every collection in the DOT drug testing program. The rule states that the form can be viewed on the DOT ODAPC website and the HHS website.

According to 40.40, a non-Federal form or an expired CCF may not be used for a DOT collection. The CCF must list contact information for the employer, the Medical Review Officer (MRO) and the Designated Employer Representative (DER). The MRO information must include the physician's name and address, not only a clinic or company name.

The rule also states that a collector may not sign the form before the collection, and that the CCF may not send personal identifying information about the employee to the laboratory other than a Social Security number or employee ID number. Under 49 CFR 40.13, the CCF may not be used for non-DOT tests.

The collector at the collection site starts and completes the CCF, according to the 49 CFR 40.3 definition of a collector, and 49 CFR 40.33 makes proper completion of the CCF part of collector qualification training.
