Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 95 / Wednesday, May 18, 2005 / Notices
Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA), issued an Order
to Show Cause to Rebecca Sotelo
(Respondent) who was notified of an
opportunity to show cause as to why
DEA should not deny her application
for registration as a mid-level
practitioner, pursuant to 21 U.S.C.
824(a)(3) and 823(f).
The Order to Show Cause alleged that
Respondent had not been granted
Prescribing and Dispensing Authority
by the Arizona State Board of Nursing
and was not authorized to handle
controlled substances in Arizona, the
State in which she practices. The Order
to Show Cause also notified Respondent
that should no request for a hearing be
filed within 30 days, her hearing right
would be deemed waived.
The Order to Shaw Cause was sent by
certified mail to Respondent’s residence
at 4479 N. Camino Del Ray, Tucson,
Arizona 85718. According to the return
receipt, the Order to Show Cause was
delivered to Respondent on October 18,
2004. DEA has not received a request for
a hearing or any other reply from
Respondent or anyone purporting to
represent her in the matter.
Therefore, the Deputy Administrator
of DEA, finding that (1) thirty days
having passed since the delivery of the
Order to Show Cause to the Respondent
and (2) no request for hearing having
been received, concludes that
Respondent is deemed to have waived
her hearing right. See David W. Linder,
67 FR 12579 (2002). After considering
material from the investigative file in
this matter, the Deputy Administrator
now enters her final order without a
hearing pursuant to 21 CFR 1301.43(d)
and (e) and 1301.46.
The Deputy Administrator finds that
on March 3, 2004, Respondent, a nurse
practitioner, applied for registration
with DEA as a mid-level practitioner in
Schedules II–V (Control No.
E06325608N). She had previously been
registered with DEA in that same status
under Certificate of Registration
MS0233222 but allowed the registration
to expire on March 29, 2003, and it was
retired from the DEA registration
system.
Respondent had been licensed as a
Registered Nurse with the Arizona State
Board of Nursing (Board) and possessed
a Certificate for Advance Practice,
which is required by the Board for a
nurse to act as a Nurse Practitioner.
Under Arizona law and regulations,
Nurse Practitioners may prescribe and
dispense controlled substances if they
are registered with DEA and the Board
had granted them Prescribing and
Dispensing Authority.
VerDate jul<14>2003
14:03 May 17, 2005
Jkt 205001
Respondent’s initial Prescribing and
Dispensing Authority expired on
December 31, 1998, and her state
nursing license, together with her
Advance Practice Certificate, expired on
June 30, 2003. In February 2004, she
renewed her nursing license and
Advanced Practice Certificate. However,
she did not attempt to renew her
Prescribing and Dispensing Authority.
In June 2004, after Respondent
submitted her current application for
DEA registration, the Board notified
DEA investigators that because of public
complaints lodged against her,
Respondent’s Prescribing and
Dispensing Authority would not be
renewed without an investigation and
resolution of the allegations. On July 15,
2004, the State board advised DEA the
Respondent ‘‘has not possessed the
authority to prescribe and/or dispense
medications as a nurse practitioner in
the state of Arizona from January 1,
1999, to present.’’
There is no evidence before the
Deputy Administrator that Respondent’s
Prescribing and Dispensing Authority
has been since been renewed. Therefore,
the Deputy Administrator finds that
Respondent is not currently authorized
to handle controlled substances in the
State of Arizona.
DEA does not have statutory authority
under the Controlled Substances Act to
issue or maintain a registration if the
applicant or registrant is without state
authority to handle controlled
substances in the state in which she
conducts business. See 21 U.S.C.
802(21), 823(f) and 824(a)(3). This
prerequisite has been consistently
upheld. See Rory Patrick Doyle, M.D.,
69 FR 11,655 (2004); Dominick A. Ricci,
M.D., 58 FR 51,104 (1993); Bobby Watts,
M.D., 53 FR 11,919 (1988).
Here, it is clear Respondent is not
currently authorized to handle
controlled substances in Arizona, where
she currently practices. Therefore, she is
not entitled to a DEA registration in that
State.
Accordingly, the Deputy
Administrator of the Drug Enforcement
Administration, pursuant to the
authority vested in her by 21 U.S.C. 823
and 824 and 28 CFR 0.100(b) and 0.104,
hereby orders that the pending
application for a DEA Certificate of
Registration, submitted by Rebecca
Sotelo, be, and it hereby is, denied. This
order is effective June 17, 2005.
Dated: May 9, 2005.
Michele M. Leonhart,
Deputy Administrator.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Notice of Application
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) hereby gives
notice that TUV America, Inc.,
(TUVAM) has applied for expansion of
its current recognition as a Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
TUVAM’s expansion request covers the
use of additional test standards. OSHA’s
current scope of recognition for TUVAM
may be found in the following
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
informational Web page: https://
www.osha-slc.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
tuvam.html.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL
signifies that the organization has met
the legal requirements in section 1910.7
of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations
(29 CFR 1910.7). Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization
can perform independent safety testing
and certification of the specific products
covered within its scope of recognition
and is not a delegation or grant of
government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may use
products ‘‘properly certified’’ by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require testing and certification.
The Agency processes applications by
an NRTL for initial recognition or for
expansion or renewal of this recognition
following requirements in Appendix A
to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix
requires that the Agency publish two
notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first
notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary
finding and, in the second notice, the
Agency provides its final decision on
the application. These notices set forth
the NRTL’s scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. We
maintain an informational Web page for
each NRTL, which details its scope of
recognition. These pages can be
accessed from our Web site at https://
www.osha-slc.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
The most recent notice published by
OSHA for TUVAM’s recognition
covered its initial recognition, which
became effective on January 25, 2002
(67 FR 3737).
The current addresses of the TUVAM
facilities already recognized by OSHA
are: TUV Product Services (TUVAM), 5
Cherry Hill Drive, Danvers,
Massachusetts 01923; TUV Product
Services (TUVAM), 10040 Mesa Rim
Road, San Diego, California 92121; and
TUV Product Services (TUVAM), 1775
Old Highway 8 NW, Suite 104, New
Brighton (Minneapolis), Minnesota
55112.
General Background on the Application
TUVAM has submitted an
application, dated August 1, 2003, (see
Exhibits 7 and 7–1) to expand its
recognition to include 45 additional test
standards. The NRTL Program staff has
determined that one of these standards
is not an ‘‘appropriate test standard’’
within the meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c).
The staff makes this determination in
processing the expansion request of any
NRTL. Therefore, OSHA would approve
44 test standards for the expansion.

Following review of the application,
OSHA requested certain additional
information from TUVAM and deferred
action on the application pending
receipt of this information. The NRTL
adequately responded recently to that
request, permitting OSHA to resume
processing of the application.
TUVAM seeks recognition for testing
and certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
following 44 test standards:
UL 22 Amusement and Gaming

OSHA’s recognition of TUVAM, or
any NRTL, for a particular test standard
is limited to equipment or materials
(i.e., products) for which OSHA
standards require third party testing and
certification before use in the
workplace. Consequently, any NRTL’s
scope of recognition excludes any
product(s) that fall within the scope of
a test standard, but for which OSHA
standards do not require NRTL testing
and certification.
Many of the UL test standards listed
above also are approved as American
National Standards by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI).
However, for convenience, we use the
designation of the standards developing
organization for the standard as opposed
to the ANSI designation. Under our
procedures, any NRTL recognized for an
ANSI-approved test standard may use
either the latest proprietary version of
the test standard or the latest ANSI
version of that standard. You may
contact ANSI to find out whether or not
a test standard is currently ANSIapproved.

Preliminary Finding on the Application
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
TUVAM has submitted an acceptable
request for expansion of its recognition
as an NRTL. In connection with this
request, OSHA performed an on-site
review of TUVAM’s NRTL Danvers
facility and, in the on-site review report,
the assessor recommended the
expansion for the additional standards
(see Exhibit 8). Our review of the
application file, the on-site review
report, and other pertinent documents
indicate that TUVAM can meet the
requirements, as prescribed by 29 CFR
1910.7, for the expansion for the
additional test standards listed above.
This preliminary finding does not
constitute an interim or temporary
approval of the application.
OSHA welcomes public comments, in
sufficient detail, as to whether TUVAM
has met the requirements of 29 CFR
1910.7 for expansion of its recognition
as a Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory. Your comments should
consist of pertinent written documents
and exhibits. Should you need more
time to comment, you must request it in
writing, including reasons for the
request. OSHA must receive your
written request for extension at the
address provided above no later than
the last date for comments. OSHA will
limit any extension to 30 days, unless
the requester justifies a longer period.
We may deny a request for extension if
it is not adequately justified. You may
obtain or review copies of TUVAM’s
requests, the on-site review report, and
all submitted comments, as received, by
contacting the Docket Office, Room
N2625, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor, at the above address. Docket No.
NRTL2–2001 contains all materials in
the record concerning TUVAM’s
application.
The NRTL Program staff will review
all timely comments and, after
resolution of issues raised by these
comments, will recommend whether to
grant TUVAM’s expansion request. The
Agency will make the final decision on
granting the expansion and, in making
this decision, may undertake other
proceedings that are prescribed in
Appendix A to 29 CFR Section 1910.7.
OSHA will publish a public notice of
this final decision in the Federal
Register.

OSHA's recognition of TUVAM, or any NRTL, for a particular test
standard is limited to equipment or materials (i.e., products) for
which OSHA standards require third party testing and certification
before use in the workplace. Consequently, any NRTL's scope of
recognition excludes any product(s) that fall within the scope of a
test standard, but for which OSHA standards do not require NRTL testing
and certification.
Many of the UL test standards listed above also are approved as
American National Standards by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI). However, for convenience, we use the designation of
the standards developing organization for the standard as opposed to
the ANSI designation. Under our procedures, any NRTL recognized for an
ANSI-approved test standard may use either the latest proprietary
version of the test standard or the latest ANSI version of that
standard. You may contact ANSI to find out whether or not a test
standard is currently ANSI-approved.
Preliminary Finding on the Application
TUVAM has submitted an acceptable request for expansion of its
recognition as an NRTL. In connection with this request, OSHA performed
an on-site review of TUVAM's NRTL Danvers facility and, in the on-site
review report, the assessor recommended the expansion for the
additional standards (see Exhibit 8). Our review of the application
file, the on-site review report, and other pertinent documents indicate
that TUVAM can meet the requirements, as prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7,
for the expansion for the additional test standards listed above. This
preliminary finding does not constitute an interim or temporary
approval of the application.
OSHA welcomes public comments, in sufficient detail, as to whether
TUVAM has met the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory. Your
comments should consist of pertinent written documents and exhibits.
Should you need more time to comment, you must request it in writing,
including reasons for the request. OSHA must receive your written
request for extension at the address provided above no later than the
last date for comments. OSHA will limit any extension to 30 days,
unless the requester justifies a longer period. We may deny a request
for extension if it is not adequately justified. You may obtain or
review copies of TUVAM's requests, the on-site review report, and all
submitted comments, as received, by contacting the Docket Office, Room
N2625, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, at the above address. Docket No. NRTL2-2001 contains all
materials in the record concerning TUVAM's application.
The NRTL Program staff will review all timely comments and, after
resolution of issues raised by these comments, will recommend whether
to grant TUVAM's expansion request. The Agency will make the final
decision on granting the expansion and, in making this decision, may
undertake other proceedings that are prescribed in Appendix A to 29 CFR
Section 1910.7. OSHA will publish a public notice of this final
decision in the Federal Register.
Signed at Washington, DC this 9th day of May, 2005.
Jonathan L. Snare,
Acting Assistant Secretary.
