When presented in this positive manner, the program will have a greater likelihood of being accepted with little opposition from the employees or union. Section 2. ACTION PLAN The actual time that a system will need to formulate or revise its program will vary depending on the local circumstances and current status of its substance abuse management program. Additional time may be required if your current substance abuse management program is inconsistent with the FTA regulations or if labor/management issues are unresolved.
