(Formerly: Poisonlab, Inc.) * The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) voted to end its Laboratory Accreditation Program for Substance Abuse (LAPSA) effective May 12, 1998. Laboratories certified through that program were accredited to conduct forensic urine drug testing as required by U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. As of that date, the certification of those accredited Canadian laboratories will continue under DOT authority. The responsibility for conducting quarterly performance testing plus periodic on-site inspections of those LAPSA-accredited laboratories was transferred to the U.S. HHS, with the HHS’ NLCP contractor continuing to have an active role in the performance testing and laboratory inspection processes. Other Canadian laboratories wishing to be considered for the NLCP may apply directly to the NLCP contractor just as U.S. laboratories do. Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to be qualified, HHS will recommend that DOT certify the laboratory (Federal Register, July 16, 1996) as meeting the minimum standards of the Mandatory Guidelines published in the Federal Register on April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644). After receiving DOT certification, the laboratory will be included in the monthly list of HHScertified laboratories and participate in the NLCP certification maintenance program.

Technology Directorate's Project 25 (P25) Compliance Assessment Program 
(CAP): Supplier's Declaration of Compliance (SDoC) (DHS Form 10044) and 
Summary Test Report. The attacks of September 11, 2001, and the 
destruction of Hurricane Katrina made apparent the need for emergency 
response radio systems that can interoperate, regardless of which 
organization manufactured the equipment. In response, and per 
congressional direction, DHS and the National Institute of Standards 
and Technology (NIST) developed the P25 CAP to improve the emergency 
response community's confidence in purchasing land mobile radio (LMR) 
equipment built to P25 LMR standards. The P25 CAP establishes a process 
for ensuring that equipment complies with P25 standards and is capable 
of interoperating across manufacturers.
    The Department of Homeland Security needs to be able to collect 
essential information from manufacturers on their products that have 
met P25 standards as demonstrated through the P25 CAP. Equipment 
suppliers will provide information to publicly attest to their 
products' compliance with a specific set of P25 standards. Accompanied 
by a Summary Test Report that substantiates this declaration, the SDoC 
constitutes a company's formal, public attestation of compliance with 
the standards for the equipment. In providing this information, 
companies will consent to making this information public. In turn, the 
emergency response community will use this information to identify P25-
compliant communications systems.
    The P25 CAP Program Manager will perform a simple administrative 
review to ensure the documentation is complete and accurate in 
accordance with the current P25 CAP processes. This notice and request 
for comments is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
