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.

III. Preliminary Findings on the
Application
ITSNA submitted an acceptable
application for expansion of the 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 recognition to
include the addition of these three test
standards for NRTL testing and
certification listed in Table 1. 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 recognition as a NRTL.
Comments should consist of pertinent
written documents and exhibits.
Commenters needing more time to
comment must submit a request in
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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, contact the Docket Office,
Room N–3653, Occupational Safety and

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

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.
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.
