[Docket No. OSHA–2006–0042]
By application dated September 14,
2010, workers requested administrative
reconsideration of the negative
determination regarding workers’
eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) applicable to workers
and former workers of the subject firm.
The Department’s Notice of negative
determination was issued on August 5,
2010 and published in the Federal
Register on August 23, 2010 (75 FR
51849). The workers are engaged in
activity related to the supply of
engineering services.
The negative determination was based
on the findings that the subject firm did
not increase imports services supplied
by the worker’s firm and that there has
not been a shift to a foreign country in
the supply of services by the subject
firm. The investigation also revealed
that the subject firm does not supply a
service that was directly used in the
production of an article by a firm that
employed a worker group eligible to
apply for TAA.
The request for reconsideration
alleges that increased imports of articles
(disk drives) that were produced
directly using the services supplied by
the subject workers (engineering)
contributed importantly to separations
at the subject firm.
The Department has carefully
reviewed the request for reconsideration
and the existing record, and has
determined that the Department will
conduct further investigation to
determine if the workers meet the
eligibility requirements of the Trade Act
of 1974, as amended.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
application, I conclude that the claim is

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration’s final decision
expanding the recognition of the
Canadian Standards Association as a
Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory under 29 CFR 1910.7.
DATES: The expansion of recognition
becomes effective on October 25, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Notice of Final Decision
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) hereby gives
notice that it is expanding recognition of
the Canadian Standards Association
(CSA) as a Nationally Recognized
Testing Laboratory (NRTL). CSA’s
expansion covers the use of additional
test standards. OSHA’s current scope of
recognition for CSA may be found in the
following informational Web page:
https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
csa.html.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL
signifies that the organization has met
the legal requirements specified in 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
PO 00000
Frm 00072
Fmt 4703

government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may use
products approved by the NRTL to meet
OSHA standards that require product
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. OSHA
maintains an informational Web page
for each NRTL that details its scope of
recognition. These pages are available
from the Web site at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html. Each NRTL’s scope of
recognition has three elements: (1) The
type of products the NRTL may test,
with each type specified by its
applicable test standard; (2) the
recognized site(s) that has/have the
technical capability to perform the
testing and certification activities for
test standards within the NRTL’s scope;
and (3) the supplemental program(s)
that the NRTL may use, each of which
allows the NRTL to rely on other parties
to perform activities necessary for
product testing and certification.
CSA submitted an application, dated
June 25, 2008, to expand its recognition
to include five additional test standards.
The NRTL Program staff determined
that four of these standards (listed
below) are ‘‘appropriate test standards’’
within the meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c).
In connection with this request, NRTL
Program staff did not perform any onsite
review of CSA’s recognized sites. The
staff only performed a comparability
analysis,1 and recommended expansion
of CSA’s recognition to include the
additional four test standards listed
below. The Agency subsequently
accepted this recommendation, and
published a preliminary notice
announcing the expansion application
in the Federal Register on April 26,
2010 (75 FR 21666). Comments were
requested by May 11, 2010, but OSHA
received no comments in response to
this notice. OSHA is now proceeding
1 This analysis involves determining whether the
testing and evaluation requirements of test
standards already in an NRTL’s scope are
comparable to the requirements in the standards
requested by the NRTL.
