Response Y N Non-Covered DOT-Y DOT-N The following guidelines will assist you in completing the DOT Covered Function Checklist. Your response will determine if the job is a safetysensitive DOT regulated position. Personnel Subject to DOT Drug & Alcohol Testing Regulations (49 CFR Part 40) include any individual performing Covered Functions as defined in Part 199 (Section 1), Operator Qualification Covered Tasks as defined in Part 192, Subpart N (Section 2) or Operates a Commercial Motor Vehicle as defined in Part 382 (Section 3) below. 1) Personnel Performing Covered Functions Per Part 199- Drug and Alcohol Testing- Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Covered functions as defined in 49 CFR, that have the following three characteristics: The function is an operations, maintenance, or emergency response function; Is regulated by 49 CFR Part 192, 193, or 195; Is performed on a pipeline or LNG facility Operations functions control the movement or storage of natural gas, LNG, hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide Maintenance functions preserve a pipeline or LNG facility for future use Emergency Response functions are steps taken to identify emergencies, respond to emergencies, protect people, and return a pipeline or facility to normal operations after an emergency. When considering whether an employee is performing an emergency response function, the following criteria should apply: The job classification and position description contain information about covered functions that the employee may perform in an emergency situation.
