Shishkin purchased eight cultural items from a member of the Pueblo of Nambe in Santa Fe County, NM. On April 30, 1964, Mrs. Shishkin offered to sell the eight items to the School of American Research for twohundred dollars. On May 14, 1964, the Executive Committee of the School of American Research (School for Advanced Research was formerly School of American Research until 2007) examined the eight items from the Pueblo of Nambe and subsequently purchased them on May 15, 1964. The eight cultural items are 1 large stone figure (SAR.1964–3A); 1 set of black feathers tied together with string (SAR.1964–3BC), which are to be attached to the SAR.1964–3A stone figure; 5 stone figures with leather carrying pouches (SAR.1964–4AB, SAR.1964–5AB, SAR.1964–6AB, SAR.1964–7AB, SAR.1964–8AB); and 1 small stone with rough surface on one VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:19 Oct 15, 2014 Jkt 235001 side, and polished opaque surface on the other (SAR.1964–9). On November 15, 1993, the School of American Research, Indian Arts Research Center sent a summary of objects to the Pueblo of Nambe in accordance to the reporting requirements of NAGPRA. On January 20, 2012, a representative from the Pueblo of Nambe contacted the School for Advanced Research, Indian Arts Research Center via phone requesting another report of objects in the School’s collection. On January 23, 2012, a report of Nambe objects with photos was sent via email to the Pueblo of Nambe representative. Correspondence and consultation followed thereafter regarding the eight cultural items listed in this notice. The review of the School for Advanced Research’s documentation, in addition to physical inspections by Pueblo of Nambe representatives, has resulted in confirmation from the Pueblo of Nambe traditional leaders that the eight items are of Pueblo of Nambe origin, supporting cultural affiliation as well as determining that the eight items are sacred objects. The School for Advanced Research, Indian Arts Research Center records, including catalog cards and other provenance information indicate these items to be of Pueblo of Nambe origin, further supporting the claim by the Pueblo of Nambe. On December 3, 2013, the Pueblo of Nambe submitted a repatriation request from the Lieutenant Governor for the eight sacred objects. Determinations Made by the School for Advanced Research, Indian Arts Research Center Officials of the Indian Arts Research Center at the School for Advanced Research have determined that: • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(C), the eight cultural items described above are specific ceremonial objects needed by traditional Native American religious leaders for the practice of traditional Native American religions by their present-day adherents. • Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there is a relationship of shared group identity that can be reasonably traced between the sacred objects and Pueblo of Nambe, New Mexico. Additional Requestors and Disposition Lineal descendants or representatives of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization not identified in this notice that wish to claim these cultural items should submit a written request with information in support of the claim to Laura Elliff, Acting Director/Collections Manager, School for Advanced Research, Indian Arts Research Center, PO 00000 Frm 00114 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62205 P.O.

Notice of Final Decision OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of recognition of ¨ ¨ TUV SUD Product Services GmbH (TUVPSG), as an NRTL. TUVPSG’s expansion covers 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 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. 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 Agency’s Web site at https:// www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ index.html. TUVPSG submitted an application, dated February 5, 2013 (OSHA–2005– 0022–0007), to expand its recognition to include the addition of one recognized testing and certification site located at: TUVPSG Garching, Daimlerstrasse 11, D–85748 Garching, Germany. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the application and other pertinent information. OSHA staff also performed an on-site review of TUVPSG’s Garching testing and certification facility on April 26, 2013, and recommended expansion of TUVPSG’s recognition to include this one site. OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing TUVPSG’s expansion application in the Federal Register on May 27, 2014 (79 FR 30181). The Agency requested comments by June 11, 2014. OSHA received three comments regarding TUVPSG’s request to expand its scope of recognition (OSHA–2005– 0022–0008, OSHA–2005–0022–0009, and OSHA–2005–0022–0010). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:19 Oct 15, 2014 Jkt 235001 The first anonymous comment (OSHA–2005–0022–0008) asked whether the decision to expand TUVPSG’s scope was good for a local trade union of construction workers. However, the comment offers no information about the issue on which OSHA sought comment—TUVPSG’s request to expand its recognition, and OSHA does not consider it further. The remaining comments from the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) (OSHA–2005–0022–0009 and OSHA–2005–0022–0010, respectively) assert that German law requires German conformity assessment bodies, authorized as GS Bodies, to reside within Germany, and that this requirement does not provide ‘‘equal treatment’’ as outlined in OSHA’s NRTL regulations and policies. OSHA’s NRTL regulations (29 CFR 1910.7—Appendix A I.A.1.b) require OSHA to consider, prior to granting initial recognition of organizations located outside of the United States, ‘‘the policy of the foreign government regarding both the acceptance in that country of testing data, equipment acceptances, and listings, and labeling, which are provided through nationally recognized testing laboratories.., and the accessibility to government recognition or a similar system in that country by U.S.-based safety-related testing agencies.’’ OSHA conducted a review of Germany’s policies toward U.S.-based testing and certification organizations in 2001, when TUVPSG was initially recognized by OSHA as an NRTL. At that time, U.S.-based organizations were treated no less favorably than other testing and certification organizations seeking accreditation in Germany. OSHA regulations require a review of foreign government practices for initial recognition, and not for renewal or expansion applications, as requested by TUVPSG. As this is an application for expansion, there is no basis in OSHA regulations to reconsider how German law treats U.S.-based testing and certification organizations. However, the information provided by NEMA and ITI raises questions with respect to the provision of equal treatment of foreign conformity assessment bodies. As such, OSHA has requested the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to review this matter. To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to TUVPSG’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., PO 00000 Frm 00115 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Room N–2625, Washington, DC 20210. Docket No. OSHA–2005–0022 contains all materials in the record concerning TUVPSG’s recognition. II. Final Decision and Order OSHA staff examined TUVPSG’s expansion application, conducted a detailed on-site assessment, and examined other pertinent information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that TUVPSG meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, subject to the limitation and conditions listed below. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant TUVPSG’s scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of TUVPSG’s recognition to include the site at TUVPSG Garching (Garching, Germany), as listed above. OSHA’s recognition of this site limits TUVPSG to performing product testing and certifications only to the test standards for which the site has the proper capability and programs, and for the test standards in TUVPSG’s scope of recognition. This limitation is consistent with the recognition that OSHA grants to other NRTLs that operate multiple sites. A. Conditions In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, TUVPSG must abide by the following conditions of the recognition: 1. TUVPSG must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major change in its operations as an NRTL, and provide details of the change(s); 2. TUVPSG must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and 3. TUVPSG must continue to meet the requirements for recognition, including all previously published conditions on TUVPSG’s scope of recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition. Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the recognition of TUVPSG, subject to the limitation and conditions specified above. III.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA is updating its digitization strategy, last issued in 2008, for several reasons. Since 2008, there have been rapid developments in areas of technology and collaboration that have changed the landscape of what is possible, expanding our options for collaboration with other organizations and for faster or more accessible digitization techniques for sometimes-delicate archival documents. These developments have also changed how people make use of documents and information, and their expectations about how they should be able to access them.

As a result of the rapid developments, changes in peoples’ use and access expectations, and NARA’s increased emphasis on digitization, we need to revise the 2008 digitization strategy. The proposed revisions signal key shifts in approach to digitization at NARA, including expansion of the variety and types of partnerships with institutions and organizations, greater emphasis on public access throughout internal agency digitization work processes, and promotion of public engagement in the digitization of NARA records.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 62206]]

I. Notice of Final Decision

    OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of 
recognition of T[Uuml]V S[Uuml]D Product Services GmbH (TUVPSG), as an 
NRTL. TUVPSG's expansion covers 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 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.
    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 Agency's Web site at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
    TUVPSG submitted an application, dated February 5, 2013 (OSHA-2005-
0022-0007), to expand its recognition to include the addition of one 
recognized testing and certification site located at: TUVPSG Garching, 
Daimlerstrasse 11, D-85748 Garching, Germany. OSHA staff performed a 
detailed analysis of the application and other pertinent information. 
OSHA staff also performed an on-site review of TUVPSG's Garching 
testing and certification facility on April 26, 2013, and recommended 
expansion of TUVPSG's recognition to include this one site.
    OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing TUVPSG's expansion 
application in the Federal Register on May 27, 2014 (79 FR 30181). The 
Agency requested comments by June 11, 2014. OSHA received three 
comments regarding TUVPSG's request to expand its scope of recognition 
(OSHA-2005-0022-0008, OSHA-2005-0022-0009, and OSHA-2005-0022-0010).
    The first anonymous comment (OSHA-2005-0022-0008) asked whether the 
decision to expand TUVPSG's scope was good for a local trade union of 
construction workers. However, the comment offers no information about 
the issue on which OSHA sought comment--TUVPSG's request to expand its 
recognition, and OSHA does not consider it further.
    The remaining comments from the National Electrical Manufacturers 
Association (NEMA) and the Information Technology Industry Council 
(ITI) (OSHA-2005-0022-0009 and OSHA-2005-0022-0010, respectively) 
assert that German law requires German conformity assessment bodies, 
authorized as GS Bodies, to reside within Germany, and that this 
requirement does not provide ``equal treatment'' as outlined in OSHA's 
NRTL regulations and policies.
    OSHA's NRTL regulations (29 CFR 1910.7--Appendix A I.A.1.b) require 
OSHA to consider, prior to granting initial recognition of 
organizations located outside of the United States, ``the policy of the 
foreign government regarding both the acceptance in that country of 
testing data, equipment acceptances, and listings, and labeling, which 
are provided through nationally recognized testing laboratories.., and 
the accessibility to government recognition or a similar system in that 
country by U.S.-based safety-related testing agencies.'' OSHA conducted 
a review of Germany's policies toward U.S.-based testing and 
certification organizations in 2001, when TUVPSG was initially 
recognized by OSHA as an NRTL. At that time, U.S.-based organizations 
were treated no less favorably than other testing and certification 
organizations seeking accreditation in Germany. OSHA regulations 
require a review of foreign government practices for initial 
recognition, and not for renewal or expansion applications, as 
requested by TUVPSG. As this is an application for expansion, there is 
no basis in OSHA regulations to reconsider how German law treats U.S.-
based testing and certification organizations. However, the information 
provided by NEMA and ITI raises questions with respect to the provision 
of equal treatment of foreign conformity assessment bodies. As such, 
OSHA has requested the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) 
to review this matter.
    To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to 
TUVPSG'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-2005-0022 contains all materials in the record 
concerning TUVPSG's recognition.

II. Final Decision and Order

    OSHA staff examined TUVPSG's expansion application, conducted a 
detailed on-site assessment, and examined other pertinent information. 
Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that TUVPSG meets the 
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, subject 
to the limitation and conditions listed below. OSHA, therefore, is 
proceeding with this final notice to grant TUVPSG's scope of 
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of TUVPSG's recognition to 
include the site at TUVPSG Garching (Garching, Germany), as listed 
above. OSHA's recognition of this site limits TUVPSG to performing 
product testing and certifications only to the test standards for which 
the site has the proper capability and programs, and for the test 
standards in TUVPSG's scope of recognition. This limitation is 
consistent with the recognition that OSHA grants to other NRTLs that 
operate multiple sites.

A. Conditions

    In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, 
TUVPSG must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
    1. TUVPSG must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any 
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major 
change in its operations as an NRTL, and provide details of the 
change(s);
    2. TUVPSG must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply 
with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    3. TUVPSG must continue to meet the requirements for recognition, 
including all previously published conditions on TUVPSG's scope of 
recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.
    Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the 
recognition of TUVPSG, subject to the limitation and conditions 
specified above.

    David Michaels, Ph.D., MPH, Assistant Secretary of Labor for 
Occupational Safety and Health, 200 Constitution Avenue NW.,
