Explanation
Answer: C - The driver must be evaluated by an SAP who does not make a clinical diagnosis of alcoholism.

In the event that an interstate driver tests positive for alcohol or controlled substances under Part 382, the driver is not required to be medically re-examined or to obtain a new medical examiner’s certificate as long as the driver is seen by an SAP who evaluates the driver and does not make a clinical diagnosis of alcoholism. The SAP must provide the driver with documentation allowing the driver to return to work.
