As a reference, there is a very helpful table on page 162 in The Medical Review Officer's Manual (OEM Press, 3rd ed., 2006) that states:

"Current DOT guidance for two specimens collected from the same testing event is as follows:

First Result Second Result Report
Negative Negative Second result
Non-negative Negative First result
Non-negative Non-negative Both results

Other than the DOT/ODAPC and SAMHSA/Drug-Free Workplace websites, can anyone suggest a reliable source to find "DOT guidance" not specifically stated in the 49 CFR Part 40 regulations?
