SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST administers NVLAP under regulations found in 15 CFR part 285. NVLAP provides an unbiased third-party evaluation and recognition of laboratory performance, as well as expert technical assistance to upgrade that performance, by accrediting calibration and testing laboratories found competent to perform specific calibrations or tests. NVLAP is comprised of a set of Laboratory Accreditation Programs (LAPs) that are established on the basis of requests and demonstrated need. Each LAP includes specific test and/or calibration standards and related methods and protocols assembled to satisfy the unique needs for accreditation in the field of testing or calibration. Under 15 CFR part 285, the Chief of NVLAP may terminate a LAP when it is determined that a need no longer exists to accredit laboratories for the services covered under the scope of the LAP. The Wood-Based Products Testing LAP includes the following areas of testing: chemical, physical, mechanical, fire performance, formaldehyde, and treated-wood characteristics. The purpose of this program is to supply unbiased third-party evaluation and attestation of testing competence of manufacturer and independent testing laboratories in the given fields. A review of the Wood-Based Products Testing LAP revealed that there are no longer any laboratories enrolled in the program. Given this lack of participation, it is unnecessary and not cost effective to continue this LAP. As a result of this review, the Chief of NVLAP has determined there is no longer exists a need to continue the Wood-Based Products Testing LAP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST administers NVLAP under regulations 
found in 15 CFR part 285. NVLAP provides an unbiased third-party 
evaluation and recognition of laboratory performance, as well as expert 
technical assistance to upgrade that performance, by accrediting 
calibration and testing laboratories found competent to perform 
specific calibrations or tests.
    NVLAP is comprised of a set of Laboratory Accreditation Programs 
(LAPs) that are established on the basis of requests and demonstrated 
need. Each LAP includes specific test and/or calibration standards and 
related methods and protocols assembled to satisfy the unique needs for 
accreditation in the field of testing or calibration.
    Under 15 CFR part 285, the Chief of NVLAP may terminate a LAP when 
it is determined that a need no longer exists to accredit laboratories 
for the services covered under the scope of the LAP. The Wood-Based 
Products Testing LAP includes the following areas of testing: chemical, 
physical, mechanical, fire performance, formaldehyde, and treated-wood 
characteristics. The purpose of this program is to supply unbiased 
third-party evaluation and attestation of testing competence of 
manufacturer and independent testing laboratories in the given fields. 
A review of the Wood-Based Products Testing LAP revealed that there are 
no longer any laboratories enrolled in the program. Given this lack of 
participation, it is unnecessary and not cost effective to continue 
this LAP. As a result of this review, the Chief of NVLAP has determined 
there is no longer exists a need to continue the Wood-Based Products 
Testing LAP. NVLAP will no longer grant or renew accreditations under 
the terminated program effective upon publication of this notice.
