Abstract
The Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), United States Department of Commerce, under authority delegated by the Secretary of Commerce, and pursuant to Section 15 of the Fastener Quality Act (Act), has determined that by July 26, 1998, the current implementation date of the Act, there will not be a sufficient number of laboratories accredited to perform the volume of inspection and testing required by the Act. Accordingly, the Director is extending the implementation date of the Act until October 25, 1998 and amending the existing regulations to reflect the new implementation date.
