How long does the UPL keep a copy of the SF-702?

The correct answer is that the UPL keeps a copy of the SF-702 for 3 years plus the current year. This is consistent with regulatory guidance regarding the retention of documentation related to the drug testing program. The SF-702, which is a form used to indicate that a chain of custody and accountability was maintained, includes important information that must be preserved for a specific duration to ensure compliance and accountability within the Unit Prevention Program.

Retaining this form for 3 additional years after the current year ensures that there is a comprehensive record of the time period in question, allowing for thorough audits and reviews if necessary. This timeline aligns with the need to uphold standards of record-keeping and ensures that authorities have access to relevant data when needed for oversight or investigations.
