To privatize environmental testing analysis, and for other purposes.

Summary

Requires all Federal departments and agencies performing environmental testing analyses, in support of monitoring, assessment, or compliance decisionmaking, or both, to use exclusively nongovernmental testing laboratories, so long as testing protocols, method requirements, preservation times, transportation times, or holding times can be achieved. Applies this Act to any State or local government or institution of higher education performing such environmental testing analysis if Federal assistance is used to carry out such analysis.
