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 30, 2010 (75 FR 

22809). After receiving DOT 

certification, the laboratory will be 

included in the monthly list of HHScertified laboratories and participate in 

the NLCP certification maintenance 

program.
