SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:03 Apr 01, 2016
This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the H–2A Temporary
Employment Certification Program. The
Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)
requires the Secretary of Labor to
certify, among other things, that any
foreign worker seeking to enter the
United States (U.S.) to perform certain
skilled or unskilled labor will not, by
doing so, adversely affect wages and
working conditions of U.S. workers
similarly employed. The Secretary must
also certify there are not sufficient U.S.
workers able, willing, and qualified to
perform such skilled or unskilled labor.
Before any employer may petition for
any temporary skilled or unskilled
foreign workers, it must submit a
request for certification to the Secretary
containing the elements prescribed by
the INA and regulations. This
information collection has been
classified as a revision, because the ETA
has proposed changes to Appendix A to
mirror the operational process
implemented in the H–2B Temporary
Employment Certification Program and
to conform to the Department’s H–2A
Final Rule for employers seeking to hire
temporary foreign workers for job
opportunities in herding and production
of livestock on the range. The
Immigration and Nationality Act
authorizes this information collection.
See 8 U.S.C. 1011(a)(15)(H)(ii)(a) and 8
U.S.C. 1188.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1205–0466. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. New
requirements would only take effect
upon OMB approval. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on December 24, 2015
(80 FR 80387).

index.html).
SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
MET Laboratories, Inc. (MET), as an
NRTL. MET’s expansion covers the
addition of five test standards to its
scope of recognition. Additionally,
OSHA announces a modification to the
NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate
Test Standards to include three
additional test standards.
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.
MET submitted five applications, two
dated April 6, 2015, (OSHA–2006–
0028–0020) and three dated May 29,
2015 (OSHA–2006–0028–0021), to
expand its recognition to include five
additional test standards, including
three test standards to be added to the
NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate
Test Standards. OSHA staff performed a
detailed analysis of the application
packets and reviewed other pertinent
information. OSHA did not perform any
on-site reviews in relation to this
application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing MET’s expansion
application and modification to the
NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate
Test Standards in the Federal Register
on January 22, 2016 (81 FR 3830). The
Agency requested comments by
February 8, 2016, but it received no
comments in response to this notice.
OSHA is now proceeding with this final
notice to grant expansion of MET’s
scope of recognition and modification to
the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate
Test Standards.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to MET’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–2006–0028 contains
all materials in the record concerning
MET’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined MET’s
expansion applications, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that MET meets
the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of its recognition, subject to
the specified limitation and conditions
listed below. OSHA, therefore, is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant MET’s scope of recognition. OSHA
limits the expansion of MET’s
recognition to testing and certification
of products for demonstration of
conformance to the test standards listed
in Table 1 below.
Additionally, Table 2, below, lists the
test standards new to the NRTL
Program’s List of Appropriate Test
Standards. The Agency evaluated the
standards to (1) verify they represent a
product category for which OSHA
requires certification by an NRTL, (2)
verify the documents represent end
products and not components, and (3)
verify the documents define safety test
specifications (not installation or
operational performance specifications).
Based on this evaluation, OSHA finds
that they are appropriate test standards
and has added these standards to the
NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate
Test Standards.

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.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, MET
must abide by the following conditions
of the recognition:
1. MET 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. MET must meet all the terms of its
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;
and
3. MET must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
MET’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 scope
of recognition of MET, subject to the
limitation and conditions specified
above, and adds three standards to the
NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate
Test Standards..

I. Background
The Legal Services Corporation (LSC)
seeks public comment on alternative
estimates of the population of
agricultural workers and dependents in
Michigan who are LSC-eligible. The
Michigan Advocacy Program (MAP)
submitted these alternatives for LSC to
use in lieu of the estimates provided by
the U.S. Department of Labor’s
Employment Training Administration
(ETA). LSC intends to select estimates to
use for distribution of appropriated
Basic Field Programs funds between
legal services grants in Michigan serving
the (1) eligible general population (Basic
Field—General) and (2) the eligible
agricultural worker population (Basic
Field—Migrant).
On February 3, 2015, LSC published
a notice for comment in the Federal
Register with the history and context of
LSC’s decision to update the estimates
of the eligible agricultural worker
population in all LSC geographic areas
(including the 50 states, the District of
Columbia, and many U.S. territories), 80
FR 5791, February 3, 2015. LSC
published the ETA estimates and related
information online at www.lsc.gov/agworker-data. In response to the
comments received, LSC obtained
revised estimates from ETA, which LSC
published for comment on February 5,
2016, 81 FR 6295, Feb. 5, 2016. MAP
submitted alternative estimates for
Michigan in response to the 2016 notice.
LSC has posted the comments and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of MET Laboratories, Inc. (MET), as an NRTL. MET's
expansion covers the addition of five test standards to its scope of
recognition. Additionally, OSHA announces a modification to the NRTL
Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards to include three
additional test standards.
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

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/.
MET submitted five applications, two dated April 6, 2015, (OSHA-
2006-0028-0020) and three dated May 29, 2015 (OSHA-2006-0028-0021), to
expand its recognition to include five additional test standards,
including three test standards to be added to the NRTL Program's List
of Appropriate Test Standards. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis
of the application packets and reviewed other pertinent information.
OSHA did not perform any on-site reviews in relation to this
application.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing MET's expansion
application and modification to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate

3830). The Agency requested comments by February 8, 2016, but it
received no comments in response to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding
with this final notice to grant expansion of MET's scope of recognition

20210. Docket No. OSHA-2006-0028 contains all materials in the record
concerning MET's recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined MET's expansion applications, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that MET
meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition, subject to the specified limitation and conditions listed
below. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant
MET's scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of MET's
recognition to testing and certification of products for demonstration
of conformance to the test standards listed in Table 1 below.
Additionally, Table 2, below, lists the test standards new to the
NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards. The Agency evaluated
the standards to (1) verify they represent a product category for which
OSHA requires certification by an NRTL, (2) verify the documents
represent end products and not components, and (3) verify the documents
define safety test specifications (not installation or operational
performance specifications). Based on this evaluation, OSHA finds that
they are appropriate test standards and has added these standards to
the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards.

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.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
MET must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. MET 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);
