SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of the Application for Expansion

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is providing 
notice that SGS North America, Inc. (SGS), is applying for expansion of 
its current recognition as an NRTL. SGS requests the addition of eight 
test standards to its NRTL scope of recognition.
    OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets 
the 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. Each NRTL's scope of recognition includes (1) the 
type of products the NRTL may test, with each type specified by its 
applicable test standard; and (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. 
Recognition is not a delegation or grant of government authority; 
however, 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 SGS, 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/.
    SGS currently has one facility (site) recognized by OSHA for 
product testing and certification, with its headquarters located at: 
SGS North America, Inc., 620 Old Peachtree Road, Suwanee, Georgia 
30024. A complete list of SGS's scope of recognition is available at 
https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/sgs.html.

II. General Background on the Application

    SGS submitted an application, dated June 26, 2013 (Exhibit 14-1--
SGS Request for Expansion), to expand its recognition to include five 
additional test standards. SGS submitted an amendment to the 
application on July 17, 2013 (Exhibit 14-2--SGS Request for Additional 
Test Standards), requesting three additional test standards for 
inclusion in the expansion request, for a total of eight additional 
requested test standards. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of 
the application file and reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA did 
not perform any on-site reviews in relation to this application.

of recognition. OSHA's review of the application file and pertinent 
documentation indicate that SGS can meet the requirements prescribed by 
29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its recognition to include the addition of 
the eight test standards for NRTL testing and certification listed 
above. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim or 
temporary approval of SGS's application.
    OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether SGS meets the 
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition as an 
NRTL. Comments should consist of pertinent written documents and

Safety and Health whether to grant SGS's application for expansion of 
its scope of recognition. The Assistant Secretary will make the final
