Why are you even worrying about it. I don't even stock non TR anymore but technically you are probably correct.

Because I am in inspector - and believe the above installation [no TR receptacle in the cabinet above the counter] is compliant; thus no correction notice to change. Just wanting to make sure I'm not missing something.

But 210.52 says that receptacles in a cabinet are not covered in this section.

210.52 Dwelling Unit Receptacle Outlets. This section
provides requirements for 125-volt, 15- and 20-ampere receptacle
outlets. The receptacles required by this section
shall be in addition to any receptacle that is:

(3) Located within cabinets or cupboards.............

That is correct I could not edit, in the cabinet or above 5 and 1/2 not required but is not listed under 406.12

Sorry didn't read the whole thread, so if this was already answered I apologize. In the 2008 code there are no exceptions. If you are under the 2011 then you get the exceptions.

Nice call, I did not see that.
