The National Agricultural Workers
Survey (NAWS) is an employmentbased, annual survey of the
demographic, employment, and health
characteristics of hired crop workers,
including those who employers hire
indirectly through labor contractors.
The survey began in 1988. Each year the
NAWS contractor interviews between
1,500 and 3,500 crop workers. The
contractor interviews crop workers three
times per year to account for the
seasonality of agricultural employment.
ETA uses NAWS data to estimate each
state’s share of crop workers who are
eligible for employment and training
services through ETA’s National
Farmworker Jobs Program. Other
Federal agencies similarly use the
survey’s data to estimate the number
and characteristics of crop workers and
their dependents who qualify to
participate in or receive services from
various migrant and seasonal
farmworker programs. The United States
Department of Agriculture routinely
uses NAWS data, along with other data,
to estimate changes in agricultural
productivity. ETA is seeking approval to
continue the NAWS, without change.
The Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended (29
U.S.C. 49f (d) and 49l–2(a)) authorizes
this information collection.
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 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 collection of
information that does not display a
valid Control Number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. To receive
consideration, you must provide written
comments, which DOL will summarize
and include in the request for OMB
approval of the final ICR. In order to
help ensure appropriate consideration,
comments should mention OMB Control
No. 1205–0453.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. DOL encourages commenters
not to include personally identifiable
information, confidential business data,
or other sensitive statements/
information in any comments.
DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:

Modification to the List of Appropriate
NRTL Program Test Standards
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
jspears on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY:
In this notice, OSHA
announces the final decision to add a
new test standard to the Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL)
Program’s list of appropriate test
standards.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:56 Jul 24, 2019
Jkt 247001
I. Background
The NRTL Program recognizes
organizations that provide productsafety testing and certification services
to manufacturers. These organizations
perform testing and certification for
purposes of the program, to U.S.
consensus-based product-safety test
standards. The products covered by the
NRTL Program consist of those items for
which OSHA safety standards require
‘‘certification’’ by a NRTL. The
requirements affect electrical products
and 38 other types of products. OSHA
does not develop or issue these test
standards, but generally relies on
standards development organizations
(SDOs), which develop and maintain
the standards using a method that
provides input and consideration of
views of industry groups, experts, users,
consumers, governmental authorities
and others having broad experience in
the safety field involved.
Addition of New Test Standards to the
NRTL Program List of Appropriate Test
Standards
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
SUMMARY:
The actions contained in this
notice will become effective on July 25,
2019.
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; 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; telephone: (202)
693–2110 or email: robinson.kevin@
dol.gov. OSHA’s website includes
information about the NRTL Program
(see https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/
nrtl/).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
Periodically, OSHA will add new test
standards to the NRTL list of
appropriate test standards following an
evaluation of the test standard
document. To qualify as an appropriate
test standard, the agency evaluates the
document to (1) verify it represents a
product category for which OSHA
requires certification by a NRTL, (2)
verify the document represents an end
product and not a component, and (3)
verify the document defines safety test
specifications (not installation or
operational performance specifications).
OSHA becomes aware of new test
standards through various avenues. For
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
35887
example, OSHA may become aware of
new test standards by: (1) Monitoring
notifications issued by certain SDOs; (2)
reviewing applications by NRTLs or
applicants seeking recognition to
include a new test standard in their
scopes of recognition; and (3) obtaining
notification from manufacturers,
manufacturing organizations,
government agencies, or other parties
that a new test standard may be
appropriate to add to the list of
appropriate standards. OSHA may
determine to include a new test
standard in the list, for example, if the
test standard is for a particular type of
product that another test standard also
covers, addresses a type of product that
no standard previously covered, or is
otherwise new to the NRTL Program.
Proposed Modification to the NRTL
Program List of Appropriate NRTL
Program Test Standards
In a March 14, 2019, Federal Register
notice (84 FR 9384, referred to in this
notice as ‘‘Proposed Modification,’’ and
available at www.regulations.gov under
Docket ID OSHA–2013–0012–0019),
OSHA proposed adding one standard to
the NRTL Program List of Appropriate
Test Standards. OSHA received one
comment on this proposed action
(available at www.regulations.gov under
Docket IDs OSHA–2013–0012–0022).
OSHA fully considered this comment
and determined that no action was
necessary.
II. Final Decision To Add a New Test
Standard to the NRTL Program List of
Appropriate Test Standards
In this notice, OSHA announces the
final decision to add one new test
standard, to the NRTL Program List of
Appropriate Test Standards, as
described in Table 1:
TABLE 1—TEST STANDARDS OSHA
DECIDED TO ADD TO THE NRTL
PROGRAM LIST OF APPROPRIATE
TEST STANDARDS
Test standard
ANSI/CPLSO 14–2016 ...

OSHA will add this test standard to
