Any well casing will be removed and no open flame will be permitted in the area until adequate ventilation has been established around the well. After the well cut-through is complete and the area is determined safe, the miners may enter the affected area. (14) The mining-through operation will be under the direct supervision of the mine foreman or a certified person designated by the mine foreman. Instructions concerning the miningthrough operation will be issued only by the mine foreman or the certified person designated by the mine foreman to be in charge. (15) The MSHA field office will be notified in sufficient time prior to mining-through, to have a representative present during the actual miningthrough if necessary. (16) The mining procedures and a drawing of the area will be reviewed with all personnel involved in the mining-through operation prior to the intersection of the plugged well. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method will at all times guarantee no less than the same measure or protection afforded by the existing standard. Docket Number: M–2014–014–C. Petitioner: Sebastian Management, LLC, 1100 South Pine Street, P.O. Box 339, Hartford, Arizona 72938. Mine: Sebastian Mine, MSHA I.D. No. 03–01736, located in Sebastian County, Arizona. Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.380(d)(3) (Escapeways; bituminous and lignite mines). Modification Request: The petitioner requests a modification of the existing standard to permit an alternative method of compliance for a secondary escapeway in lieu of the existing standard. The petitioner states that: (1) The Sebastian Mine’s secondary escapeway at crosscut 14 above the #3 intake entry of Main South over the overcast located there currently measures 33 inches high (at its lowest point on an incline with increasing height for clearance) with 20 feet of width. (2) The coal seam’s thickness, plus additional height taken for support, averages 60 inches. (3) The stable roof and related support in the area have been in place since 2007. (4) Both the roof and floor is solid sandstone in the area and require inadvisable drilling and shooting that could destabilize conditions if additional height was sought for the reference safety standards compliance by those methods. VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:12 May 23, 2014 Jkt 232001 (5) Shooting would require shutting down ventilation, short-circuiting almost the entire mine, killing power, not pumping, and placing the whole mine in potential distress and jeopardy. (6) Relocating the mines secondary escapeway is not a reasonable option at this time. (7) Based on the experience of a 5man stretcher test conducted in this specific area, as well as over the subsequent three overcasts at the request and under the timed observation of an MSHA inspector, the petitioner proposes an alternative method of compliance. (a) A successful test of the proposed alternative method occurred on February 27, 2014, when four Sebastian miners carried a fifth miner across all four overcasts in a timely manner approximately six and one-half minutes. (b) To negotiate the 33 inch overcast space at crosscut 14 above the #3 intake entry of the Main South, the miner strapped on the stretcher was placed on two (2) four wheeled dollies and efficiently, and effectively transported by the other 4 miners across the area of concern in a very safe and timely manner. Most, if not all, mine rescue stretchers are wheeled. (c) The stretchers are routinely slid through man-doors and otherwise used to transport, or train for transporting, injured miners without any requirement of 100 percent ‘‘carrying’’ as a misreading of the referenced standard might imply. (d) Moving someone on a stretcher carefully on wheels can be much safer, quicker, more efficient and effective under difficult conditions or circumstances than manually carrying an injured person on a stretcher. The petitioner further states that: (1) The operator will at all times maintain two (2) low profile fourwheeled dollies in good working order and leave them at that location for potential use if required. The dollies will be checked monthly during mine rescue practices to confirm continual suitability for use as contingently intended. (2) Additionally, a clear travelway will be maintained at all times for miners’ regular use and for their potential use in transporting anyone injured through this area of the secondary escapeway. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method will at all times guarantee no less than the same measure or protection afforded by the existing standard.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:12 May 23, 2014 Jkt 232001 I. Notice of the Application for Expansion https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ tuvpsg.html. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is providing notice that TUVPSG is applying for expansion of its current recognition as an NRTL. TUVPSG requests the addition of one recognized testing and certification site to its NRTL scope of recognition. OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets the requirements specified in Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 1910.7 (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. Recognition enables employers to 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, and for an 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. 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, including TUVPSG, which details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. These pages are available from the OSHA 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 product-testing and productcertification activities for test standards within the NRTL’s scope; and (3) the supplemental program(s) that the NRTL may use. Each of these elements allows the NRTL to rely on other parties to perform activities necessary for product testing and certification. TUVPSG currently has one facility (site) recognized by OSHA for product testing and certification, with its ¨ ¨ headquarters located at: TUV SUD Product Services GmbH, Ridlerstrasse 65, Munich, Germany D–80339. A complete list of TUVPSG sites recognized by OSHA is available at II. General Background on the Application TUVPSG submitted an application, dated March 27, 2013 (Exhibit 1), to expand its recognition to include the addition of one recognized testing and ¨ ¨ certification site located at: TUV SUD Product Services GmbH, Daimlerstrasse 11, Garching, Germany D–85748. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the application and other pertinent information. OSHA staff also performed an on-site review of TUVPSG’s testing facilities on April 26, 2013, in which the assessors found some nonconformances with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. TUVPSG addressed these issues sufficiently, and OSHA staff preliminarily determined that OSHA should grant the application. PO 00000 Frm 00110 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 III. Preliminary Finding on the Application TUVPSG submitted an acceptable application for expansion of its scope of recognition. OSHA’s review of the application file and its detailed on-site assessment indicate that TUVPSG can meet the requirements prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its recognition to include the addition of the one site detailed above for NRTL testing and certification. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim or temporary approval of TUVPSG’s application.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for Expansion

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is providing 
notice that TUVPSG is applying for expansion of its current recognition 
as an NRTL. TUVPSG requests the addition of one recognized testing and 
certification site to its NRTL scope of recognition.
    OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets 
the requirements specified in Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, 
Section 1910.7 (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. 
Recognition enables employers to 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, and for an 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. 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, 
including TUVPSG, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These 
pages are available from the OSHA Web site at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
    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 product-testing and product-
certification activities for test standards within the NRTL's scope; 
and (3) the supplemental program(s) that the NRTL may use. Each of 
these elements allows the NRTL to rely on other parties to perform 
activities necessary for product testing and certification.
    TUVPSG currently has one facility (site) recognized by OSHA for 
product testing and certification, with its headquarters located at: 
T[Uuml]V S[Uuml]D Product Services GmbH, Ridlerstrasse 65, Munich, 
Germany D-80339. A complete list of TUVPSG sites recognized by OSHA is 
available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/tuvpsg.html.

II. General Background on the Application

    TUVPSG submitted an application, dated March 27, 2013 (Exhibit 1), 
to expand its recognition to include the addition of one recognized 
testing and certification site located at: T[Uuml]V S[Uuml]D Product 
Services GmbH, Daimlerstrasse 11, Garching, Germany D-85748. OSHA staff 
performed a detailed analysis of the application and other pertinent 
information. OSHA staff also performed an on-site review of TUVPSG's 
testing facilities on April 26, 2013, in which the assessors found some 
nonconformances with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. TUVPSG 
addressed these issues sufficiently, and OSHA staff preliminarily 
determined that OSHA should grant the application.

III. Preliminary Finding on the Application

    TUVPSG submitted an acceptable application for expansion of its 
scope of recognition. OSHA's review of the application file and its 
detailed on-site assessment indicate that TUVPSG can meet the 
requirements prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its recognition 
to include the addition of the one site detailed above for NRTL testing 
and certification. This preliminary finding does not constitute an 
interim or temporary approval of TUVPSG's application.
    OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether TUVPSG meets the 
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition as an 
NRTL. Comments should consist of pertinent written documents and 
exhibits. Commenters needing more time to comment must submit a request 
in writing, stating the reasons for the request. Commenters must submit 
the written request for an extension by the due date for comments. OSHA 
will limit any extension to 10 days unless the requester justifies a 
longer period. OSHA may deny a request for an extension if it is not 
adequately justified. To obtain or review copies of the publicly 
available information in TUVPSG's application, including pertinent 
documents (e.g., exhibits) and all submitted comments, contact the 
Docket Office, Room N-2625, Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, at the above address; these

manner and, after addressing the issues raised by these comments, will 
recommend to the Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health 
whether to grant TUVPSG's application for expansion of its scope of 
recognition. The Assistant Secretary will make the final decision on 
granting the application. In making this decision, the Assistant 
Secretary may undertake other proceedings prescribed in Appendix A to 
29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA will publish a public notice of this final decision 
in the Federal Register.
