SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Applications for
Expansion
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration is providing notice that
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Nemko-CCL, Inc. (CCL), is applying for
expansion of its current recognition as
an NRTL. CCL requests the addition of
two (2) recognized testing and
certification sites, and twenty-two (22)
additional test standards to its NRTL
scope of recognition. Additionally, CCL
is applying to relocate its headquarters
to Ottawa, Canada, after its existing
headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah was
destroyed in a fire.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL
signifies that the organization meets the
requirements specified in title 29, Code
of Federal Regulations, section 1910.7
(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. Recognition
enables employers to use products
approved by the NRTL to meet OSHA
standards that require product testing
and certification.
The Agency processes applications by
an NRTL for initial recognition and for
an 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. 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, including CCL, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA Web site at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
Each NRTL’s scope of recognition
includes: (1) The type of products the
NRTL may test, with each type specified
by its applicable test standard; and (2)
the recognized site(s) that has/have the
technical capability to perform the
product testing and productcertification activities for test standards
within the NRTL’s scope.
CCL currently has one facility (site)
recognized by OSHA for product testing
and certification, with its headquarters
located at: Nemko-CCL 1940 West
Alexander Street, Salt Lake City, Utah
84119–2039. A complete list of CCL
sites recognized by OSHA is available at

II. General Background on the
Applications for Expansion
CCL submitted two applications, one
dated January 28, 2015 (OSHA–2013–
0016–008), and a second dated January
26, 2016 (OSHA–2013–0016–009), to
expand its recognition to include the
addition of two recognized testing and
certification sites located at: Nemko
North America, Inc., 2210 Faraday
Avenue, Suite 150, Carlsbad, California
92008; and Nemko Canada, Inc., 303
River Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
K1V 1H2. OSHA staff performed an onsite review of CCL’s testing facilities on
November 17–18, 2015, at CCL Ottawa,
and on January 11–12, 2016, at CCL
California. During these assessments,
the assessors found some
nonconformances with the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7. CCL addressed these
issues sufficiently, and OSHA staff
preliminarily determined that OSHA
should grant the applications.
CCL’s first application also requested
the addition of twenty-two test
30567
standards to its scope of recognition.
OSHA staff performed a detailed
analysis of the application packet,
reviewed other pertinent information,
and conducted the on-site reviews
described above in relation to this
application.
Table 1 below lists the appropriate
test standards found in CCL’s
application for expansion for testing and
certification of products under the
NRTL Program.

III. Background on the Relocation of
Nemko-CCL, Inc. Headquarters
On October 28, 2015, CCL provided
notice to OSHA that their company
headquarters located at 1940 West
Alexander Road, Salt Lake City, Utah
84119–2039 had been completely
destroyed in a fire that occurred on
October 25, 2015. CCL temporarily
moved their testing operations to their
Ottawa and California locations while
searching for a location to re-establish
their headquarters. OSHA advised CCL
that their inability to perform testing at
their recognized site could lead to
revocation from the NRTL Program, but
proceeded to conduct the November
2015 and January 2016 on-site
assessments of the Ottawa and
California proposed sites because these
assessments were scheduled before the
fire occurred. In January of 2016, CCL
advised OSHA that they wanted to
move their headquarters to the Ottawa,
Canada site and had secured a new
location for their Salt Lake City, Utah
site, which would now serve as an
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
administrative site with no test
capabilities. OSHA performed an
electronic assessment of this new
administrative site located at NemkoCCL, Inc. 2964 West 4700 South, Suite
200, Salt Lake City, Utah 84129, on
February 17, 2016.
IV. Preliminary Finding on the
Applications
CCL submitted acceptable
applications for expansion of its scope
of recognition, and relocation of its
company headquarters. OSHA’s review
of the application files and its detailed
on-site and electronic assessments
indicate that CCL can meet the
requirements prescribed by 29 CFR
1910.7 for expanding its recognition to
include the addition of these two sites
and twenty-two test standards for NRTL
testing and certification and the new
headquarters site. This preliminary
finding does not constitute an interim or
temporary approval of CCL’s
applications.

OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether CCL meets the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition as an NRTL. Comments

needing more time to comment must
submit a request in writing, stating the
reasons for the request. Commenters

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Applications for Expansion
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is providing
notice that Nemko-CCL, Inc. (CCL), is applying for expansion of its
current recognition as an NRTL. CCL requests the addition of two (2)
recognized testing and certification sites, and twenty-two (22)
additional test standards to its NRTL scope of recognition.
Additionally, CCL is applying to relocate its headquarters to Ottawa,
Canada, after its existing headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah was
destroyed in a fire.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified in title 29, Code of Federal Regulations,
section 1910.7 (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.
Recognition enables employers to use products approved by the NRTL to
meet OSHA standards that require product testing and certification.
The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial
recognition and for an 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. 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,
including CCL, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA Web site at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
Each NRTL's scope of recognition includes: (1) The type of products
the NRTL may test, with each type specified by its applicable test
standard; and (2) the recognized site(s) that has/have the technical
capability to perform the product testing and product-certification
activities for test standards within the NRTL's scope.
CCL currently has one facility (site) recognized by OSHA for
product testing and certification, with its headquarters located at:
Nemko-CCL 1940 West Alexander Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84119-2039.
A complete list of CCL sites recognized by OSHA is available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ccl.html.

II. General Background on the Applications for Expansion
CCL submitted two applications, one dated January 28, 2015 (OSHA-
2013-0016-008), and a second dated January 26, 2016 (OSHA-2013-0016-
009), to expand its recognition to include the addition of two
recognized testing and certification sites located at: Nemko North
America, Inc., 2210 Faraday Avenue, Suite 150, Carlsbad, California
92008; and Nemko Canada, Inc., 303 River Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
K1V 1H2. OSHA staff performed an on-site review of CCL's testing
facilities on November 17-18, 2015, at CCL Ottawa, and on January 11-
12, 2016, at CCL California. During these assessments, the assessors
found some nonconformances with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. CCL
addressed these issues sufficiently, and OSHA staff preliminarily

CCL's first application also requested the addition of twenty-two

III. Background on the Relocation of Nemko-CCL, Inc. Headquarters
On October 28, 2015, CCL provided notice to OSHA that their company
headquarters located at 1940 West Alexander Road, Salt Lake City, Utah
84119-2039 had been completely destroyed in a fire that occurred on
October 25, 2015. CCL temporarily moved their testing operations to
their Ottawa and California locations while searching for a location to
re-establish their headquarters. OSHA advised CCL that their inability
to perform testing at their recognized site could lead to revocation
from the NRTL Program, but proceeded to conduct the November 2015 and
January 2016 on-site assessments of the Ottawa and California proposed
sites because these assessments were scheduled before the fire
occurred. In January of 2016, CCL advised OSHA that they wanted to move
their headquarters to the Ottawa, Canada site and had secured a new
location for their Salt Lake City, Utah site, which would now serve as
an administrative site with no test capabilities. OSHA performed an
electronic assessment of this new administrative site located at Nemko-
CCL, Inc. 2964 West 4700 South, Suite 200, Salt Lake City, Utah 84129,
on February 17, 2016.
IV. Preliminary Finding on the Applications
CCL submitted acceptable applications for expansion of its scope of
recognition, and relocation of its company headquarters. OSHA's review
of the application files and its detailed on-site and electronic
assessments indicate that CCL can meet the requirements prescribed by
29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its recognition to include the addition of
these two sites and twenty-two test standards for NRTL testing and
certification and the new headquarters site. This preliminary finding
does not constitute an interim or temporary approval of CCL's
applications.
OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether CCL meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion 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-2013-0016.
OSHA staff will review all comments to the docket submitted in a
timely
[[Page 30568]]
manner and, after addressing the issues raised by these comments, will
recommend to the Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health
whether to grant CCL's applications for expansion of its scope of
recognition. The Assistant Secretary will make the final decision on
granting the applications. In making this decision, the Assistant
Secretary 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.
