VA Form 10-0388-8: Certification Regarding Drug-Free Workplace Requirements
VA Form 10-0388-8 is the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Certification Regarding Drug-Free Workplace Requirements for Grantees Other Than Individuals. VA's form page lists it under VHA. The form says the certification is required by the regulations implementing the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, 38 CFR 44, Subpart F, and that those regulations require certification by grantees, prior to award, that they will maintain a drug-free workplace.
The signature block is for an authorized State official. The form's Paperwork Reduction Act notice says VA uses this information, along with other documents submitted by the States, to determine the feasibility of the projects for VA participation, to meet VA requirements for a grant award and to rank the projects in establishing the annual fiscal year priority list. It is collected under the authority of 38 U.S. Code Sections 8133(a) and 8135(a).
The form is one page: project details, seven numbered commitments and the signature block. Its title says it is for grantees other than individuals. You can fill out the PDF free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
