USCG Exam Practice · Drug testing — pre-employment, random, post-incident

Under 46 CFR §16.230, the Commandant may reduce the minimum annual random drug testing rate from 50 percent to 25 percent under which condition?

  1. AThe industry random positive rate falls below 1.0 percent for two consecutive calendar years.✓ correct
  2. BThe industry random positive rate falls below 2.0 percent for one calendar year.
  3. CThe total number of covered crewmembers industry-wide decreases by more than 25 percent.
  4. DThe industry random positive rate falls below 1.0 percent for any single calendar year.

Why A is correct

46 CFR §16.230(f)(2) specifies that when the rate is at 50 percent, the Commandant may lower it to 25 percent only if data for two consecutive calendar years indicate the positive rate is less than 1.0 percent. A single year of low positives is insufficient.
