4. JHT is prohibited from conducting
SCUBA diving using air or nitrox
breathing-gas mixture at depths deeper
than 100 FSW but no deeper than 130
FSW, or outside the no-decompression
limits, unless a 6 ATA decompression
chamber is ready for use (diving
operations performed for instructional
purposes in accordance with
§ 1910.401(a)(2)(i) are exempt).
jbell on DSK3GLQ082PROD with NOTICES
E. Worker Qualification and Training
JHT is required to:
1. Develop and implement an
effective qualification and training
program for its affected divers that, at a
minimum, meets the requirements set
forth in 29 CFR 1910.410 (qualifications
of a dive team), and all of the
requirements of the NDP;
2. Ensure that each affected diver
(including, but not limited to, current
and newly assigned to be involved in
diving operations under the NDP)
successfully completes all training
required by the NDP to become a NOAA
Diver;
3. Ensure that all divers complete all
continuing training required by NDP to
maintain status as an authorized NOAA
Diver. At a minimum, the diver training
program must include the following: (a)
Instruction in the conditions of the
permanent variance; (b) annual refresher
training in oxygen administration
(academic and practical components);
(c) instruction in maintaining current
CPR/AED and First Aid certification; (d)
maintaining proficiency in diving by
making at least three (3) dives per
quarter; (e) completing and passing an
annual swim test; (f) completing and
passing an annual skills test to
demonstrate the diver’s ability to safely
operate underwater; (g) successfully
completing one or more annual rescue
drills to demonstrate the diver’s ability
to surface, extricate, treat and evacuate
the victim of a diving accident; and (h)
instruction in properly verifying that the
diver’s life support gear was serviced
annually by a certified technician;
4. Document the training in order to
provide a means of tracking the training
received by divers and, consequently, to
prompt JHT to update that training if
necessary.
F. Recordkeeping
JHT is required to:
1. Maintain records of recordable
injuries that occur as a result of diving
operations conducted for NOAA under
the NDP;
2. Ensure that the information
gathered and recorded under this
provision, in concert with the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
information provided under condition G
(using OSHA 301 Incident Report form
to investigate and record dive-related
recordable injuries as defined by 29 CFR
1904.4, 1904.7, 1904.8 through 1904.12),
would enable the JHT and OSHA to
determine the effectiveness of the
permanent variance in preventing DCS
and other dive-related injuries and
illnesses.
G. Notifications
1. Notify the OTPCA and the Area
Office closest to the dive location of any
recordable injuries, illnesses, in-patient
hospitalizations, amputations, loss of an
eye, or fatality that occur as a result of
diving operations within eight (8) hours
of the incident;
2. Provide OTCPA and the Area Office
closest to the dive location within
twenty-four (24) hours of the incident
with a copy of the incident investigation
report using OSHA 301 form;
3. Include on the OSHA 301 form
information on the diving conditions
associated with the recordable injury or
illness, the root-cause determination,
and preventive and corrective actions
identified and implemented;
4. Provide certification that it
informed affected divers of the incident
and the results of the incident
investigation;
5. Notify OTPCA and the Area Office
closest to the dive location within
fifteen (15) working days should JHT
need to revise its dive procedures to
accommodate changes in its diving
operations that affect its ability to
comply with the conditions of the
permanent variance;
6. Obtain OSHA’s written approval
prior to implementing the revision in its
dive procedures to accommodate
changes in its diving operations that
affect its ability to comply with the
conditions in the permanent variance;
7. By the fifteenth (15th) of January,
at the beginning of each new calendar
year, provide OTPCA, and the Area
Offices and their corresponding
Regional Office closest to the preceding
year’s dive locations, with a report
summarizing the dives completed
during the year just ended and
evaluating the effectiveness of the
permanent variance conditions in
providing a safe and healthful work
environment and in preventing diverelated incidents;
8. Notify OSHA if it ceases to do
business, has a new main office address
or location, or transfers the operations
covered by the permanent variance to a
successor company; and
9. Ensure that OSHA would approve
the transfer of the permanent variance to
a successor company.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
OSHA is providing notice that QAI
Laboratories, Ltd. (QAI), is applying for
expansion of recognition as a NRTL.
QAI requests the addition of ten 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 the 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
21833
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 QAI, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
QAI currently has two facility (sites)
recognized by OSHA for product testing
and certification, with headquarters
located at: QAI Laboratories, Ltd., 3980
North Fraser Way, Burnaby, BC, Canada,
V5J 5K5. A complete list of QAI’s scope
of recognition is available at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/qai.html.
II. General Background on the
Application
QAI submitted an application, dated
August 4, 2017 (OSHA–2013–0017–
0009), to expand recognition to include
ten 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
standard found in QAI’s application to
expand for testing and certification of
products under the NRTL Program.

Safety and Health whether to grant
QAI’s application for expansion of the
scope of recognition. The Assistant
Secretary will make the final decision
on granting the application. In making
