General Background on Application for Renewal OSHA is additionally providing notice that QPS is applying for renewal of its current recognition as an NRTL. QPS initially received OSHA recognition as an NRTL on March 2, 2011 (76 FR 11518) for a five-year period expiring on March 2, 2016. QPS submitted a timely request for renewal, dated April 21, 2015 (Exhibit 2— Renewal Application, OSHA–2010– 0046) and retains its recognition pending OSHA’s final decision in this renewal process. The current address of QPS facilities recognized by OSHA and included as part of the renewal request are: 1. QPS Evaluation Services, Inc., 81 Kelfield Street,Unit 8, Toronto, Ontario, M9W 5A3 Canada. V. Notice of Preliminary Findings of the Applications QPS submitted acceptable applications for expansion of its scope of recognition. OSHA’s review of the application file and on-site review indicate that QPS can meet the requirements prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its recognition to include the addition of the test standards for NRTL testing and certification noted in Table 1 above. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim or temporary approval of QPS’s applications. This requested renewal covers QPS’s existing NRTL scope of recognition. OSHA evaluated QPS’s application for renewal, conducted an on-site review of QPS’s facilities and preliminarily determined that QPS can continue to meet the requirements prescribed by 20 CFR 1910.7 for recognition. This information includes OSHA’s most recent on-site assessment of QPS’s facilities conducted on July 16–17, 2015 (Toronto, Canada). The assessors found some nonconformances with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. QPS addressed these issues sufficiently to meet the applicable NRTL requirements. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim or temporary approval of the application. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:01 Nov 25, 2015 Jkt 238001 OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether QPS meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion and renewal 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 exhibits identified in this notice, as well as comments submitted to the docket, contact the Docket Office, Room N–2625, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, at the above address. These materials also are available online at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket No. OSHA–2010–0046. OSHA staff will review all comments submitted to the docket in a timely manner and, after addressing the issues raised by these comments, will recommend whether to grant QPS’s application for renewal and for expansion of its scope of recognition. The Assistant Secretary will make the final decision on granting the application and, in making this decision, 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.
