Item 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER

     This Schedule 13D, filed July 5, 1996, by Steven A. Cohen ("Cohen") and
S.A.C. Capital Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SAC
Advisors", and, together with Cohen, the "Reporting Persons"), relates to the
shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Shares") of U.S. Alcohol
Testing of America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") with its
principal executive offices located at 10410 Trademark Street, Rancho Cucamongo,
California 91730.

Item 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

     Mr. Cohen's principal occupation is as an investment manager.  He is a
citizen of the United States of America.  SAC Advisors, a Delaware limited
liability company, engages in the active trading of securities and, to a lesser
extent, commodity interests on a discretionary basis on behalf of various
entities.  Mr. Cohen is the Managing Member, President, and Chief Executive
Officer of SAC Advisors.  The other officers of SAC Advisors, each of whom is a
citizen of the United States of America, are Scott J. Lederman, Executive Vice
President and Secretary, Barry M. Skalka, Executive Vice President and Treasurer
and Terence E. Fox, Executive Vice President.  The principal business address of
each of the Reporting Persons, Mr. Lederman, Mr. Skalka and Mr. Fox is 777 Long
Ridge Road, Stamford, Connecticut 06902.

     None of the Reporting Persons, Mr. Lederman, Mr. Skalka or Mr. Fox have
during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) nor have any of them been a party to
any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction which resulted in or subjected any of them to a judgment, decree,
or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation
with respect to such laws.

Item 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

     The aggregate amount of funds (including commissions) required by the
Reporting Persons to purchase the Shares owned beneficially by them was as
follows:

          Steven A. Cohen          $3,549,688
          SAC Advisors             $1,843,221

     The Shares beneficially owned by SAC Advisors are directly owned by S.A.C.
Capital Associates, LLC, an Anguillan limited liability company ("SAC
Associates").  SAC Associates is not listed as a Reporting Person on this
Schedule 13D because all voting power and investment power (as defined in Rule
13d-3) has been vested with SAC Advisors pursuant to an Investment Management
Agreement between SAC Advisors and SAC Associates entered into as of January 2,
1996.  All funds used by SAC Advisors to purchase the Shares directly owned by
SAC Associates were derived from SAC Associates' working capital and all funds
used by Cohen to purchase the shares directly owned by him were derived from
personal funds.  Such funds may include margin debt incurred from time to time
in the ordinary course of business pursuant to customary margin agreements with
Spear, Leeds & Kellogg.

Item 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares for the purpose of investment
because they believe the Shares represented a favorable investment opportunity.
The Reporting Persons are evaluating and will continue to evaluate the
investment potential of the Shares.  Depending on various factors including the
results of such evaluation, the Company's business prospects and financial
position, other developments concerning the Company, the price level of the
Shares, available opportunities to acquire or dispose of Shares or realize
trading profits, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and
industry conditions, reinvestment

                                                                          4 of 7

<PAGE>

opportunities and developments relating to its business, the Reporting Persons
may in the future take such actions with respect to such holdings in the Company
as they deem appropriate in light of circumstances existing from time to time.
Such actions may include the purchase of additional Shares in the open market,
through privately negotiated transactions with third parties or otherwise, or
the sale at any time, in the open market, through privately negotiated
transactions with third parties or otherwise, of all or a portion of the Shares
now owned or hereafter acquired.

     Except as set forth above, as of the date of this Schedule, none of the
Reporting Persons or the entities and individuals described in Item 2 above has
any plans or proposals which would result in or relate to any of the
transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a)  The Reporting Persons beneficially own 1,221,700 Shares representing
          5.16% of the 35,309,210 Shares reported by the Company as outstanding
          as of June 11, 1996.

     (b)  As the Managing Member of SAC Advisors, Mr. Cohen shares with SAC
          Advisors the power to vote and dispose of all of the Shares owned
          beneficially by SAC Advisors.  None of the entities or individuals
          described in Item 2 other than the Reporting Persons has the power to
          vote or direct the vote, or dispose or direct the disposition of, the
          Shares.

     (c)  Except as set forth in Annex 1 hereto, no transactions in Shares were
          effected during the past 60 days by the Reporting Persons.

     (d)  SAC Associates has the right to receive dividends from, or the
          proceeds from the sale of, the Shares beneficially owned by SAC
          Advisors.

     (e)  Not applicable.

Item 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
     TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     Other than the Investment Management Agreement and the margin agreements
described in Item 3, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 hereof or
between such persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the
Company, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any other
securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or
calls, guarantees of profits, divisions of profits or loss, or the giving or
withholding of proxies.

Item 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

     No exhibits are required to be filed.

                                                                          5 of 7
