<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 150 / Friday, August 3, 2018 / Notices
1970 (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). The OSH Act also requires
that OSHA obtain such information
with minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of efforts in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The information collection
requirements in the DBCP Standard
provide protection for workers from the
adverse health effects associated with
exposure to DBCP. In this regard, the
DBCP Standard requires employers to:
Monitor workers’ exposure to DBCP;
monitor worker health; and provide
workers with information about their
exposures and the health effects of
exposure to DBCP.
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
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
After extensive research, OSHA found
no U.S. employer who currently
produces DBCP or DBCP-based end-use
products, most likely because the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
registration suspension for this
substance remains in effect; therefore,
no cost or time burdens accrue to
employers under the Standard. The
agency requests OMB approval of the
information collection provisions as a
one hour burden under the paperwork
requirements if EPA lifts the suspension
or technology develops new
applications for DBCP.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: 1, 2-Dibromo-3-Chloropropane
(DBCP) Standard (29 CFR 1910.1044).

I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
FM Approvals, LLC, as a NRTL. FM’s
expansion covers the addition of 24 test
standards 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
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 website at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
FM submitted an application, dated
July 15, 2016 (OSHA–2007–0041–0008)
to expand its recognition to include 28
additional test standards. OSHA staff
performed a detailed analysis of the
application packet and reviewed other
pertinent information. In reviewing the
application, OSHA determined that
three of the requested standards had
been withdrawn by the controlling
standards development organization;
therefore, OSHA cannot add those three
standards to FM’s NRTL scope of
recognition. Additionally, one of the
requested standards, ISA 60079–26, has
been superseded by UL 60079–26,
which was also included in FM’s
expansion application. Accordingly,
OSHA will add the active standard, not
the superseded one, and OSHA will
grant recognition to 24 standards in the
final expansion. OSHA did not perform
any on-site reviews in relation to this
application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing FM’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
May 15, 2018 (83 FR 22523). The
Agency requested comments by May 30,
2018, but it received no comments in
response to this notice. OSHA now is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant expansion of FM’s scope of
recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to FM’s
application, go to https://
www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW,
Room N–3653, Washington, DC 20210.
Docket No. OSHA–2007–0041 contains
all materials in the record concerning
FM’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined FM’s expansion
application, its capability to meet the
requirements of the test standards, and
other pertinent information. Based on
its review of this evidence, OSHA finds
that FM 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 FM’s scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of FM’s recognition to testing and
certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standards listed below in Table 1.

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, a 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, the use of the designation
of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed
to the ANSI designation may occur.
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.
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, FM
must abide by the following conditions
of the recognition:
1. FM 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 a NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. FM must meet all the terms of its
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;
and
3. FM must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
FM’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 FM, subject to the
limitation and conditions specified
above.

* Represents a standard that OSHA proposes to add to the NRTL Program's
List of Appropriate Test Standards.
In this notice, OSHA also announces the addition of four new test
standards to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards.
Table 2, below, lists the test standards that are new to the NRTL
Program. OSHA has
[[Page 38183]]
determined that these test standards are appropriate test standards and
will include them in 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, a
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, the use of the designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation may
occur. 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,
FM must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. FM 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 a NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
2. FM must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. FM must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on FM'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 FM, subject to the limitation and conditions
specified above.
