Elk M1G Can grounding with no outlet

I have a Leviton 42" panel along with the surge suppressing outlet made to drop into the bottom. The metal box that came with it does not have any screw for a ground, but it is obvious that they made sure that the point were the outlet mounts to the panel was bare steel to make a good connection to the panel when installed.

I am assuming that the panel must be grounded in this case because if it isn't then the metal outlet box will not be grounded.

If there is no grounding screw, you still have options. The first is to use a self-tapping grounding screw. There should be a hole in the box which will accept the screw. Another is to use a grounding clip similar to this.
