SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This is a request to extend the expiration date of this currently 
approved information collection.
    This information is collected from all testing or calibration 
laboratories that apply for NVLAP accreditation. Applicants provide the 
minimum information necessary for NVLAP to evaluate the competency of 
laboratories to carry out specific tests or calibrations or types of 
tests or calibrations. The collection is mandated by 15 CFR 285.

II. Method of Collection

    Each new or renewal applicant laboratory electronically submits its 
application for NVLAP accreditation through a self-service, web-based 
portal called the ``NVLAP Interactive Web System'' (NIWS). This method 
of collection also gives applicant laboratories the ability to upload 
document files needed to support the application process and to 
maintain their own profile information.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0693-0003.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission (revision and extension of a 
currently approved information collection).
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; not-
for-profit institutions; and Federal, State or local government.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 800.
    Estimated Time per Response: 3.0 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2400.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection; they also will become a matter of public record.
