HRM: Fentanyl being added to drug-testing panel

Starting July 7, 2025, the Federal Drug-Free Workplace Program with the Health and Human Services will include testing for the drug fentanyl.
HHS previously published Federal Register Notice 1015-00425 in January 2025 announcing the addition of fentanyl to its drug-testing panel.
The notice did not make any other changes to the current list of Schedule I and Schedule II drug test panels, which include:
Marijuana
Cocaine
Opiates
Amphetamines
Phencyclidine (PCP)
Heroin
LSD
Ecstasy
As a reminder, all federal employees are expected to remain drug-free and refrain from illegal drug use during on- and off-duty hours. Compliance with this regulatory requirement preserves the integrity and safety of all Forest Service workplaces. Drug testing information is posted on HRM’s website.
