SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Notice of the Application for Expansion OSHA is providing notice that Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. (ITSNA), is applying for expansion of recognition as a NRTL. ITSNA requests the addition of three test standards to the NRTL scope of recognition. OSHA recognition of a 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 the 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 a 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 a preliminary finding. In the second notice, the agency provides the 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 1793 each NRTL, including ITSNA, which details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. These pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/ dts/otpca/nrtl/. ITSNA currently has fourteen 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, IL 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 July 12, 2018 (OSHA–2007–0039– 0029), to expand recognition to include three additional test standards. OSHA staff performed a 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 lists the appropriate test standards found in ITSNA’s application for expansion for testing and certification of products under the NRTL Program.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Seleda Perryman, Directorate of Standards and Guidance, OSHA, U.S. Department of Labor, telephone (202) 693–2222. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: collections of information which are used by employers to ensure that employees are properly informed about the safety and health hazards associated with marine terminals and longshoring operations. OSHA uses the records developed in response to the collection of information requirements to find out if the employer is complying adequately with the provisions of the standards. I. Background OSHA is requesting that OMB extend approval of the information collection requirements contained in the standards on Marine Terminals (29 CFR part 1917) and Longshoring (29 CFR part 1918). The agency is requesting a decrease in the current burden hour estimate from 65,694 hours to 58,033, a difference of 7,661 hours. The adjustment in burden is due to an increase in the number of longshoring operations from 871 to 916 establishments, and a reduction in the number of establishments in port and harbor operations from 525 to 332 establishments. The Agency will summarize any comments submitted in response to this notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB. Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collections. Title: Marine Terminals (29 CFR part 1917) and Longshoring (29 CFR part 1918). OMB Number: 1218–0196. Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; Not-for-profit organizations; Federal Government; State, Local, or Tribal Government. Number of Respondents: 1,248. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Average Time per Response: Varies from one minute (.02 hour) to 50 hours. Estimated Total Burden Hours: 58,033. Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0. The Department of Labor, as part of a continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA’s estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the 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 standards on Marine Terminals and Longshoring contain a number of PO 00000 Frm 00097 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for Expansion

    OSHA is providing notice that Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. 
(ITSNA), is applying for expansion of recognition as a NRTL. ITSNA 
requests the addition of three test standards to the NRTL scope of 
recognition.
    OSHA recognition of a 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 the 
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 a 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 a preliminary finding. In the second notice, 
the agency provides the 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 website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
    ITSNA currently has fourteen 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, IL 60005. A complete list of ITSNA's scope of 
recognition is available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/its.html.
