<p>The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) proposes to amend its drug-testing program to add fentanyl (a synthetic opioid) and norfentanyl (a metabolite of fentanyl) to its drug testing requirements that apply to certain commercial transportation workers, including pilots and other airside and groundside employees. The proposed rulemaking would harmonize the DOT’s rules with those of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ mandatory guidelines for federal workplace drug testing programs. “Adding fentanyl and norfentanyl is also in the interest of transportation safety, given compelling information regarding the number of overdose deaths in the United States involving fentanyl,” said the DOT. Comments to this notice must be submitted by Oct. 17, 2025.</p>
