ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This notice provides the revised schedule of fees to be charged by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs). OSHA charges fees for specific types of services it provides to NRTLs. The fees charged to NRTLs first went into effect on October 1, 2000. DATES: The Fee Schedule will become effective on February 15, 2007. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: MaryAnn Garrahan, Director, Office of Technical Programs and Coordination Activities, NRTL Program, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N3655, Washington, DC 20210, or phone (202) 693–2110. Our Web page includes information about the NRTL Program (see https://www.osha.gov and select ‘‘N’’ in the site index). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00082 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 I. Notice and Introduction The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) hereby gives notice that it has revised the fees that the Agency charges for the services it provides to Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs). OSHA is taking this action as a result of its process for annually reviewing the fees, as provided under 29 CFR 1910.7(f). This review showed that the costs of providing the services covered by the fees had changed sufficiently to warrant adjustments to the fee schedule, which had been in effect since January 2002. The notice to propose the revised fees was published in the Federal Register on December 20, 2006 (71 FR 76365). That notice requested submission of comments by January 4, 2007. No comment was received. The notice also stated that the fees would go into effect on February 5, 2007; OSHA, however, has changed the effective date of the fee increase. As set forth above, the new fee schedule is effective February 15, 2007. You may obtain or review documents related to the establishment of the fees by contacting the Docket Office, Room N2625, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, at the above address. Docket No. OSHA–2006–0050 (formerly, NRTL95– F–1), contains all materials in the record concerning OSHA’s NRTL Program fees. The fee adjustments described in this notice are based on the current approach for calculating fees, which is the same approach OSHA used in developing the first fee schedule (effective October 1, 2000). OSHA is also in the process of developing a new approach to calculating fees that would more accurately recoup the total costs of the services OSHA provides to NRTLs. The Agency will be proposing this new approach, and seeking comments on it, in a Federal Register notice to be published at a later date. II. Background Many of OSHA’s safety standards require that equipment or products used in the workplace be tested and certified to help ensure they can be used safely. See, e.g., 29 CFR 1910, Subpart S. In general, this testing and certification must be performed by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). In order to ensure that the testing and certification is done appropriately, OSHA implemented the NRTL Program. The NRTL Program establishes the criteria that an organization must meet in order to be and remain recognized as an NRTL. The NRTL Program requirements are set forth under 29 CFR 1910.7, E:\FR\FM\15FEN1.SGM 15FEN1
