Are there any federal guidelines that reference the responsibility of the consortium manager concerning compliance of participants to abide by the random selection notification?  Can the consortium face any reprimands for random drug/alcohol shortfalls?  For example, if 42 employees were selected for drug testing, and only 17 completed the test, is the consortium responsible?  Is it necessary to increase the last random selection for a given year in order to (hopefully) generate the correct yearly percentage for drug/alcohol selections?  At the end of the year, how are the selected individuals who were not tested classified?  As 'no test', 'refusal to test', 'excused,' or something else? Thanks.
