Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 143 / Thursday, July 29, 2021 / Notices
demonstrated that it operates in
accordance with NVLAP management
and technical requirements pertaining
to quality systems, personnel,
accommodation and environment, test
and calibration methods, equipment,
measurement traceability, sampling,
handling of test and calibration items,
and test and calibration reports.
NVLAP accreditation does not imply
any guarantee (certification) of
laboratory performance or test/
calibration data. NVLAP accreditation is
a finding of laboratory competence.
Technical Requirements for the
Accreditation Process: NVLAP
assessments are conducted in
accordance with the National Voluntary
Laboratory Accreditation Program
regulations, which are found at 15 CFR
part 285. NVLAP accreditation is in full
conformance with relevant standards of
the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) and the
International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC), including ISO/IEC
17025, General requirements for the
competence of testing and calibration
laboratories.
Accreditation is granted to a
laboratory following successful
completion of a process, which includes
submission of an application and
payment of fees by the laboratory, a
review of the laboratory management
system documentation, an on-site
assessment by technical experts,
participation in proficiency testing
when available, and resolution of any
management system or technical
nonconformities identified during any
phase of the application process. The
accreditation is formalized through
issuance of a Certificate of Accreditation
and Scope of Accreditation.
General requirements for
accreditation are given in NIST
Handbook 150, NVLAP Procedures and
General Requirements, https://
nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/hb/2020/
NIST.HB.150-2020.pdf. The specific
technical and administrative
requirements for the program for
accreditation of laboratories performing
SIT and O/UAT on Federal Warfare
Systems are provided in NIST
Handbook 150–872, Federal Warfare
System(s), https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/
nistpubs/hb/2021/NIST.HB.150-8722021.pdf. Laboratories must meet all
NVLAP criteria and requirements in
order to become accredited. To be
considered for accreditation, the
applicant laboratory must provide a
completed application to NVLAP, pay
all required fees, agree to conditions for
accreditation, and be found competent
to perform the tests prescribed in the
standards.

Application Requirements include: (1)
Legal name and full address of the
laboratory; (2) Ownership of the
laboratory; (3) Authorized
Representative’s name and contact
information; (4) Names, titles, and
contact information for laboratory staff
nominated to serve as Approved
Signatories of test and calibration
reports that reference NVLAP
accreditation; (5) Organization chart
defining relationships that are relevant
to performing testing and calibrations
covered in the accreditation request; (6)
General description of laboratory,
including its facilities and scope of
operations; and (7) Requested scope and
accreditation.
For this program, the laboratory shall
provide a copy of its management
system documents prior to the on-site
assessment. NVLAP will review the
management system documentation and
discuss any nonconformities with the
Authorized Representative before the
on-site visit. Laboratories that apply for
accreditation will be required to pay
NVLAP fees and undergo on-site
assessment and shall meet proficiency
testing requirements before initial
accreditation can be granted.
Paperwork Reduction Act: This action
contains a collection-of-information
requirement subject to review and
approval by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. Collection
activities for NVLAP are currently
approved by OMB under control
number 0693–0003.
Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, no person is required to respond
to, nor shall any person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with a
collection of information subject to the
requirements of the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB Control
Number.

I. Abstract
This request is for a revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
The National Ocean Service (NOS)
Office of Coast Survey manages the
Certification Requirements for
Distributors of NOAA Electronic
Navigational Charts (NOAA ENCs®).
Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) are
vector data sets that support all types of
marine navigation. Originally designed

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 143 / Thursday, July 29, 2021 / Notices
for large commercial vessels using a
sophisticated navigational computer
called an Electronic Chart Display and
Information System (ECDIS), ENCs are
now also being used on simpler
electronic chart systems and ‘‘chart
plotters’’ on many types of ships and by
recreational boaters. NOAA ENCs help
provide real-time ship positioning, as
well as collision and grounding
avoidance. NOAA established a
certification program for the redistribution of official NOAA ENCs in
15 CFR part 995 in order to ensure the
quality and content of official NOAA
ENCs remains intact throughout the
redistribution process. The certification
allows entities to download,
redistribute, repackage, or in some cases
reformat, official NOAA ENCs and
retain the NOAA ENC’s official status.
The recordkeeping and reporting
requirements of 15 CFR part 995 form
the basis for this collection of
information. This information allows
the Office of Coast Survey to administer
the regulation, and to better understand
the marketplace resulting in products to
that meet the needs of the customer in
a timely and efficient manner.
II. Method of Collection
Responses from the Certified ENC
Distributors are all electronic and sent
via email. All distributors have an Excel
spreadsheet which they submit for each
quarter.
