Regulatory Information On April 30, 2001, FTA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) proposing changes to conform its drug and alcohol testing regulation (49 CFR Part 655) to the December 19, 2000 revision of DOT’s transportation workplace testing procedures at 49 CFR Part 40. (66 FR 21551). While several of the amendments to Part 40 became effective on January 18, 2001, the entire revised Part 40 will become effective on August 1, 2001. Generally, final rules must be published at least 30 days before their effective dates. However, the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. sec. 553(d)(3)) creates an exception to this general rule on the basis of good cause found by the agency. FTA is making this conforming rule effective immediately upon publication, rather than 30 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register to ensure that FTA’s drug and alcohol testing regulation is consistent with the Department’s Part 40 testing procedures,
