Comment Request

Title: Laboratory Approval Programs.
OMB Control Number: 0581–NEW.
Summary of Collection: The
Agricultural Marketing Act (AMA) of
1946, as amended, provides analytical
testing services that facilitate marketing
and allow products to obtain grade
designations or meet marketing or
quality standards. Pursuant to this
authority, AMS develops and maintains
laboratory certification and approval
programs as needed by the agricultural
industry, to support domestic and
international marketing of U.S.
products. To ensure that a laboratory is
capable of accurately performing the
specified analyses, it must adhere to
certain good laboratory practice and
show technical proficiency in the
required areas.
Need and Use of the Information:
Checklist and form have been developed
that ask the laboratory for information
concerning procedures, the physical
facility, employees, and their training.
The laboratory must also provide
Standard Operating Procedures for the
analyses and quality assurance. The
laboratory certification and approval
programs are voluntary, fee for service,
and for admission into one of these
programs a laboratory must have a client
who requires the specific testing. It is
necessary to collect and require a
laboratory to attest to the performance
elements necessary to determine the
credibility of the laboratory. To do less
would be a disservice to the agricultural
community.
