SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of Final Decision

    OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of 
recognition of TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc. (TUVRNA), as an 
NRTL. TUVRNA's expansion covers the addition of one recognized testing 
and certification site to their NRTL scope of recognition.
    OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets 
the requirements in Section 1910.7 of Title 29, Code of Federal 
Regulations (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/.
    TUVRNA submitted an application, dated January 9, 2015 (OSHA-2007-
0042-0013), to expand its recognition to include the addition of one 
recognized testing and certification sites located at: TUV Rheinland of 
North America, Inc. 1279 Quarry Lane, Pleasanton, CA 94566. OSHA staff 
performed a detailed analysis of the application and other pertinent 
information. OSHA staff also performed an on-site review of TUVRNA's 
Pleasanton, CA testing and certification facility on March 17, 2015, 
and recommended expansion of TUVRNA's recognition to include this one 
site.
    OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing TUVRNA's expansion 
application in the Federal Register on August 10, 2015 (80 FR 47953). 
The Agency requested comments by August 25, 2015, but it received no 
comments in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this 
final notice to grant expansion of TUVRNA's scope of recognition.
    To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to 
the TUVRNA'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-2007-0042 contains all materials 
in the record concerning TUVRNA's recognition.

II. Final Decision and Order

    OSHA staff examined TUVRNA's expansion application, conducted a 
detailed on-site assessment, and examined other pertinent information. 
Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that TUVRNA 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 TUVRNA's scope of 
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of TUVRNA's recognition to 
include the site at TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc., 1279 Quarry 
Lane, Pleasanton, CA 94566 as listed above. OSHA's recognition of this 
site limits TUVRNA to performing product testing and certifications 
only to the test standards for which the site has the proper capability 
and programs, and for test standards in TUVRNA'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, 
TUVRNA also must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
    1. TUVRNA 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. TUVRNA must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply 
with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    3. TUVRNA must continue to meet the requirements for recognition, 
including all previously published conditions on TUVRNA'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 TUVRNA, subject to these limitations and conditions 
specified above.
