Thanks for the responses. so receptecle is ok and no gfci protection is required. Seems strange around countertops not to have gfci protection? Not sure what they want to plug into this outlet some countertop appliance of some kind? turbocharged blender? thanks guys!

A word of advice--- find out what they want to use and get specs on it. You don't want to find out later that a neutral is also needed.
