TABLE 2—TEST STANDARD OSHA IS ADDING TO THE NRTL PROGRAM’S LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS Test standard UL 962 ....................... Test standard title Standard for Household and Commercial Furnishings. OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require third-party testing and certification before using them in the workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, an NRTL’s scope of recognition does not include these products. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the test standards listed above as American National Standards. However, for convenience, we may use the designation of the standards-developing organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under the NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix C, paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized for a particular test standard may use either the proprietary version of the test standard or the ANSI version of that standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a test standard is currently ANSI-approved. QAI’s scope of recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: make the use of PPE necessary. Where such hazards are present, employers must communicate PPE selection decisions to each affected employee (paragraph (d)(1)(ii)). Paragraph (d)(2) requires employers to certify in writing that they have performed the hazard assessment. The certification must include the date and the person certifying that the hazard assessment was conducted, and the identification of the workplace evaluated (area or location). The hazard assessment assures that potential workplace hazards necessitating PPE use have been identified and that the PPE selected is appropriate for those hazards and the affected employees. The required certification of the hazard assessment verifies that the required hazard assessment was conducted. The standards on PPE protection for the eyes and face (29 CFR 1910.133), head (29 CFR 1910.135), feet (29 CFR 1910.136), and hands (29 CFR 1910.138) do not contain any separate information collection requirements. I. Background II. Special Issues for Comment The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements in accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA’s estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). Subpart I specifies several paperwork requirements. The following describes the information collection requirements in subpart I and addresses who will use the information. OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues: • Whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency’s functions, including whether the information is useful; • The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information collection requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and • Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply; for example, by using automated or other technological information collection and transmission techniques.

(TUVAM) as an NRTL. TUVAM’s expansion covers the addition of fifteen test standards and one recognized testing and certification site to its 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 of the products. 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. TUVAM submitted an application, dated October 16, 2014, (OSHA–2007– 0043–0014) to expand its recognition to include fifteen additional test standards and one additional recognized testing and certification site located at: TUV SUD, 1229 Ringwell Drive, Newmarket, ON, L3Y 8T8, Canada. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the application, including a comparability analysis, and reviewed other pertinent PO 00000 Frm 00091 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 10917 information. OSHA performed an onsite review of TUVAM’s testing and certification facility in Newmarket, ON Canada on July 14–15, 2015, in which assessors found nonconformances with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. TUVAM addressed these issues sufficiently, and OSHA staff recommended expansion of TUVAM’s recognition to include these standards and this site. OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing TUVAM’s expansion application in the Federal Register on December 7, 2015 (80 FR 76045). The Agency requested comments by December 22, 2015, but it received no comments in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this final notice to grant expansion of TUVAM’s scope of recognition. To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to TUVAM’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–2007–0043 contains all materials in the record concerning TUVAM’s recognition. II. Final Decision and Order OSHA staff examined TUVAM’s expansion application, its capability to meet the requirements of the test standards, conducted a detailed on-site assessment, and reviewed other pertinent information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that TUVAM 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 TUVAM’s scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of TUVAM’s recognition to testing and certification of products for demonstration of conformance to the test standards listed in Table 1 below. Further, OSHA limits the expansion of TUVAM’s recognition to include the site at TUV SUD, Newmarket, ON Canada as listed above. OSHA’s recognition of this site limits TUVAM 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 TUVAM’s scope of recognition. These limitations are consistent with the recognition that OSHA grants to other NRTLs that operate multiple sites. E:\FR\FM\02MRN1.SGM 02MRN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce 
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a 
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an 
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information 
collection requirements in accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (PRA-95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).
    This program ensures that information is in the desired format, 
reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments 
are clearly understood, and OSHA's estimate of the information 
collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act 
of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information 
collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of 
the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the causes and 
prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 
U.S.C. 657).
    Subpart I specifies several paperwork requirements. The following 
describes the information collection requirements in subpart I and 
addresses who will use the information.

Hazard Assessment and Verification (Sec.  1910.132(d))

    Paragraph (d)(1) requires employers to perform a hazard assessment 
of the workplace to determine if hazards are present, or likely to be 
present, that make the use of PPE necessary. Where such hazards are 
present, employers must communicate PPE selection decisions to each 
affected employee (paragraph (d)(1)(ii)).
    Paragraph (d)(2) requires employers to certify in writing that they 
have performed the hazard assessment. The certification must include 
the date and the person certifying that the hazard assessment was 
conducted, and the identification of the workplace evaluated (area or 
location).
    The hazard assessment assures that potential workplace hazards 
necessitating PPE use have been identified and that the PPE selected is 
appropriate for those hazards and the affected employees. The required 
certification of the hazard assessment verifies that the required 
hazard assessment was conducted.
    The standards on PPE protection for the eyes and face (29 CFR 
1910.133), head (29 CFR 1910.135), feet (29 CFR 1910.136), and hands 
(29 CFR 1910.138) do not contain any separate information collection 
requirements.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements 
are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions, 
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and 
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply; 
for example, by using automated or other technological information 
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the information 
collection requirements contained in the Personal Protective Equipment 
(PPE) Standard for General Industry (29 CFR part 1910, subpart I). OSHA 
is proposing to decrease the burden hours in the currently approved 
information collection request from 1,696,991 hours to 1,366,521 hours, 
a difference of 330,470 hours. The Agency will summarize the comments 
submitted in response to this notice and will include this summary in 
the request to OMB.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for General Industry (29 
CFR part 1910, subpart I).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0205.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits; Federal Government; 
State, Local, or Tribal Government.
    Number of Respondents: 3,500,000.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Average Time per Response: Varies from one hour to generate and 
maintain records to 29 hours to perform a hazard assessment.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,366,521.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.
