I’m renewing my license. This is the first time I’ve not been part of a random drug test program. Do I send the drug test form to the USCG, or does the drug test do it?

Thanks.

Send it with your renewal package and keep a copy. Make sure it’s recent, I think six months is the oldest they will accept.
