Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 210 / Monday, October 31, 2016 / Notices
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Derricks Standard information
collection requirements codified in
regulations 29 CFR 1910.181. The
specified requirements are for marking
the rated load on derricks, preparing
certification records that verify the
inspection of derrick ropes, and posting
warning signs while the derrick is
undergoing adjustments and repairs.
Certification records must be
maintained and disclosed upon request.
Occupational Safety and Health Act
sections 2(b)(3), 6(b)(7), and 8(c)
authorize this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(3), 655(b)(7), and
657(c).
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 1218–0222.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
October 31, 2016. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
June 10, 2016 (81 FR 37644).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1218–0222. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration is providing notice that
Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.
(ITSNA), is applying for expansion of its
current recognition as an NRTL. ITSNA
requests the addition of twenty-three
(23) test standards to its NRTL scope of
recognition.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL
signifies that the organization meets the
requirements specified in 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.
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. Recognition is
not a delegation or grant of government
authority; however, 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
75443
the NRTL’s scope of recognition or
modifications of that scope. OSHA
maintains an informational Web page
for each NRTL, including ITSNA, 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/.
ITSNA currently has fourteen (14)
facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA for
product testing and certification, with
its headquarters located at: Intertek
Testing Services NA, Inc., 545 East
Algonquin Road, Suite F, Arlington
Heights, Illinois 60005. A complete list
of ITSNA’s scope of recognition is
available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/its.html.
II. General Background on the
Application
ITSNA submitted an application,
dated April 21, 2015 (OSHA–2007–
0039–0022), to expand its recognition to
include twenty-three (23) additional test
standards. OSHA staff performed
detailed analysis of the application
packet and reviewed other pertinent
information. OSHA did not perform any
on-site reviews in relation to this
application.
Table 1 below lists the appropriate
test standards found in ITSNA’s
application for expansion for testing and
certification of products under the
NRTL Program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for Expansion
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is providing
notice that Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. (ITSNA), is applying for
expansion of its current recognition as an NRTL. ITSNA requests the
addition of twenty-three (23) test standards to its NRTL scope of
recognition.
OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified in 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. 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.
Recognition is not a delegation or grant of government authority;
however, 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 ITSNA, 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/.
ITSNA currently has fourteen (14) facilities (sites) recognized by
OSHA for product testing and certification, with its headquarters
located at: Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc., 545 East Algonquin
Road, Suite F, Arlington Heights, Illinois 60005. A complete list of
ITSNA's scope of recognition is available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/its.html.
II. General Background on the Application
ITSNA submitted an application, dated April 21, 2015 (OSHA-2007-
0039-0022), to expand its recognition to include twenty-three (23)
additional test standards. OSHA staff performed detailed analysis of
the application packet and reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA
did not perform any on-site reviews in relation to this application.
Table 1 below lists the appropriate test standards found in ITSNA's
application for expansion for testing and certification of products
under the NRTL Program.

III. Preliminary Findings on the Application
ITSNA submitted an acceptable application for expansion of its
scope of recognition. OSHA's review of the application file, and
pertinent documentation, indicate that ITSNA can meet the requirements
prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its recognition to include
the addition of these twenty-three test standards for NRTL testing and
certification listed above. This preliminary finding does not
constitute an interim or temporary approval of ITSNA's application.
OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether ITSNA 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 the request
is not adequately justified. To obtain or review copies of the exhibits
identified in this notice, as well as comments submitted to the docket,

OSHA staff will review all comments to the docket submitted in a
timely manner and, after addressing the issues raised by these
comments, will recommend to the Assistant Secretary for Occupational
Safety and Health whether to grant ITSNA's application for expansion of
its scope of recognition. The Assistant Secretary will make the final
decision on granting the application. In making this decision, the
Assistant Secretary may undertake other proceedings prescribed in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7.
