SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Powered Platforms for Building
Maintenance Standard information
collection. Requirements codified in
regulations 29 CFR 1910.66 provide that
an Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSH Act) covered employer subject to
the Standard develop and implement a
written emergency action plan for each
type of powered platform operation. The
plan must explain the emergency
procedures to follow upon encountering
a disruption of the power supply,
equipment failure, or other emergency.
More specifically, the Standard requires
the employer to develop and maintain a
written emergency action plan and work
plan for training; affix a load rating plate
to each suspended unit; label each
emergency electric operating device
with instructions for use; attach a tag to
one of the fastenings holding a
suspension wire rope; and prepare and
maintain a written certification record
of the inspection and testing of each
building-support structure component
of a powered platform, powered
platform facility, and suspension wire
rope. OSH Act sections 2 and 8
authorize this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 651, 657.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00103
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
45897
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 1218–0121.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal. 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
May 22, 2017 (82 FR 23312).
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
1218–0121. 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.

TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc.:
Grant of Expansion of Recognition
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In this notice, OSHA
announces its final decision to expand
the scope of recognition for TUV
Rheinland of North America, Inc., as a
Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL).
DATES: The expansion of the scope of
recognition takes place on October 2,
2017.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Information regarding this notice is
available from the following sources:
Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank
Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office of
Communications, U.S. Department of
Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Room N–3647, Washington, DC 20210;
telephone: (202) 693–1999; email:
meilinger.francis2@dol.gov.
General and technical information:
Contact Mr. Kevin Robinson, Director,
Office of Technical Programs and
Coordination Activities, Directorate of
Technical Support and Emergency
Management, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Room N–3655, Washington, DC 20210;
telephone: (202) 693–2110; email:
robinson.kevin@dol.gov. OSHA’s Web
page includes information about the
NRTL Program (see https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc.
(TUVRNA), as a NRTL. TUVRNA’s
expansion covers the addition of one
test standard to its scope of recognition.
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies
that the organization meets the
requirements specified by 29 CFR
1910.7. Recognition is an
PO 00000
Frm 00104
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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
a 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.
TUVRNA submitted an application,
dated July 15, 2016 (OSHA–2007–0042–
0024), to expand its recognition to
include one additional test standard.
OSHA staff performed a comparability
analysis and reviewed other pertinent
information. OSHA did not perform any
on-site reviews in relation to this
application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing TUVRNA’s
expansion application in the Federal
Register on May 22, 2017 (82 FR 22314).
The Agency requested comments by
June 6, 2017, but it received no
comments in response to this notice.
OSHA now is proceeding with this final
notice to grant expansion of TUVRNA’s
scope of recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to
TUVRNA’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–3655, Washington, DC 20210.
Docket No. OSHA–2007–0042 contains
all materials in the record concerning
TUVRNA’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined TUVRNA’s
expansion application, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this
