Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 134 / Monday, July 14, 2014 / Notices 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 ITSNA, 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/. ITSNA currently has 14 facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA for product testing and certification, with its headquarters located at: Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc., 545 East Algonquin Road, Suite F, Arlington Heights, Illinois 60005. A complete list of ITSNA’s scope of recognition is available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/ otpca/nrtl/its.html. 40783 II. General Background on the Application ITSNA submitted an application, dated February 10, 2014 (Exhibit 1), to expand its recognition to include multiple additional test standards.

This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim or temporary approval of ITSNA’s application. OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether ITSNA 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.

OSHA’s Web page includes information about the NRTL Program (see https://www.osha. gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets the requirements specified by 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 approved by the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require testing and certification. OSHA maintains an informational Web site for each NRTL at https://www.osha.gov/dts/ otpca/nrtl/ that details its scope of recognition available. OSHA processes applications submitted by an NRTL for renewal of recognition following requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA conducts renewals in accordance with the procedures in 29 CFR 1910.7, App. A II.C. In accordance with these procedures, NRTLs submit a renewal request to OSHA between nine months and one year before the expiration date of its current recognition. A renewal request includes a request for renewal and any additional information demonstrating its continued compliance with the terms of its recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7. If OSHA has not conducted an on-site assessment of the NRTL headquarters and any key sites within the past 18 to 24 months, it will schedule the necessary on-site assessment prior to the expiration date of the NRTL’s recognition. Upon review of the submitted material and, as necessary, the successful completion of the on-site assessment, OSHA announces its preliminary decision to grant or deny renewal in the Federal Register and solicits comments from the public. OSHA then publishes a final Federal Register notice responding to any comments and renewing the NRTL’s recognition for a period of five years, or denying the renewal of recognition. Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL), initially received OSHA recognition as an NRTL on June 13, 1988 (see 60 FR 33852, June 29, 1995). The most recent renewal for UL was on May 8, 2002, for a five-year period expiring on May 8, 2007. UL submitted a timely request for renewal, dated July 27, 2006 (see Ex.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets 
the requirements specified by 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 approved by the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require 
testing and certification. OSHA maintains an informational Web site for 
each NRTL at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ that details 
its scope of recognition available.
    OSHA processes applications submitted by an NRTL for renewal of 
recognition following requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA 
conducts renewals in accordance with the procedures in 29 CFR 1910.7, 
App. A II.C. In accordance with these procedures, NRTLs submit a 
renewal request to OSHA between nine months and one year before the 
expiration date of its current recognition. A renewal request includes 
a request for renewal and any additional information demonstrating its 
continued compliance with the terms of its recognition and 29 CFR 
1910.7. If OSHA has not conducted an on-site assessment of the NRTL 
headquarters and any key sites within the past 18 to 24 months, it will 
schedule the necessary on-site assessment prior to the expiration date 
of the NRTL's recognition. Upon review of the submitted material and, 
as necessary, the successful completion of the on-site assessment, OSHA 
announces its preliminary decision to grant or deny renewal in the 
Federal Register and solicits comments from the public. OSHA then 
publishes a final Federal Register notice responding to any comments 
and renewing the NRTL's recognition for a period of five years, or 
denying the renewal of recognition.
    Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL), initially received OSHA 
recognition as an NRTL on June 13, 1988 (see 60 FR 33852, June 29, 
1995). The most recent renewal for UL was on May 8, 2002, for a five-
year period expiring on May 8, 2007. UL submitted a timely request for 
renewal, dated July 27, 2006 (see Ex. OSHA-2009-0025-0006), and 
retained its recognition pending OSHA's final decision in this renewal 
process. The current addresses of the UL facilities recognized by OSHA 
and included as part of the renewal request are:
    (1) UL Northbrook, 333 Pfingsten Road, Northbrook, Illinois 60062;

    OSHA evaluated UL's application for renewal and made a preliminary 
determination that UL can continue to meet the requirements prescribed 
by 29 CFR 1910.7 for recognition. OSHA conducted audits of UL's 
headquarters, UL Northbrook on September 10-11, 2013, and on April 4-7, 
2011. OSHA staff also performed audits of the: UL International 
Services, Ltd. Taiwan site on November 6-7, 2008; UL Melville site on 
October 20-22, 2008; UL International Germany GmbH on June 22-23, 2009;

2013; UL International UK Ltd. site on April 18-19, 2011; and UL 
International Limited Hong Kong site on November 3-4, 2008. OSHA found 
non-conformances with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. UL addressed 
these issues sufficiently to meet the applicable NRTL requirements. 
Accordingly, OSHA determined that it did not need to conduct an on-site 
review of UL's facilities for this request for renewal, based on its 
evaluation of UL's application and all other available information.
    OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing UL's renewal 
request in the Federal Register on February 25, 2014 (79 FR 10568). The 
Agency requested comments by March 12, 2014, but received no comments 
in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this final 
notice to grant UL's request for renewal of recognition.
    To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to 
the UL's application, go to www.regulations.gov or contact the Docket 
Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department 
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Room N-2625, Washington, DC 
20210. Docket No. OSHA-2009-0025 contains all materials in the record 
concerning UL's recognition.

II. Final Decision and Order

    Pursuant to the authority granted under 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby 
gives notice of the renewal of recognition of UL as an NRTL. OSHA NRTL 
Program staff reviewed the renewal request for UL and other pertinent 
information. Based on this review of the renewal request for UL and 
other pertinent information, OSHA finds that UL meets the requirements 
of 29 CFR 1910.7 for renewal of its recognition, subject to the 
specified limitation and conditions. OSHA limits the renewal of UL's 
recognition to include the terms and conditions of UL's scope of 
recognition. The scope of recognition for UL is available in the 
Federal Register notice dated June 29, 1995 (60 FR 33852), or on OSHA's 
Web site at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ul.html.
