DOT announced that the requirement to perform all return-to-duty and follow-up drug testing under the new Direct Observation rules will be effective August 31, 2009. This provision had been stayed by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit; but that stay was lifted on July 1, 2009, following the Court’s unanimous decision to uphold the Department’s position in this matter.
