SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information before submitting them to the OMB for final approval. This program helps to ensure requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements can be properly assessed. The Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) requires covered employers to secure the payment of compensation under the Act and its extensions by purchasing insurance from a carrier authorized by the Secretary of Labor to write Longshore Act Insurance, or becoming SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 authorized self-insured employers. Each authorized insurance carrier (or carrier seeking authorization) is required to establish annually that its Longshore obligations are fully secured either through an applicable state guaranty (or analogous fund), a deposit of security with the Division of Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation (DLHWC), or a combination of both. Similarly, each authorized self-insurer (or employer seeking authorization) is required to fully secure its Longshore Act obligations by depositing security with DLHWC. These requirements are designed to assure the prompt and continued payment of compensation and other benefits by the responsible carrier or self-insurer to injured workers and their survivors. Forms LS–276, Application for Security Deposit Determination; LS–275–IC, Agreement and Undertaking (Insurance Carrier); and LS–275–SI, Agreement and Undertaking (Self-Insured Employer) are used to cover the submission of information by insurance carriers and self-insured employers regarding their ability to meet their financial obligations under the Longshore Act and its extensions. This information is currently approved through December 31, 2019. 33 U.S.C. 932 et seq. 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 the OMB under the PRA approves it 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. Written comments will receive consideration, and summarized and included in the request for OMB approval of the final ICR.

AGENCY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:34 Nov 04, 2019 Jkt 250001 ACTION: Notice. In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to: (1) Add a new test standard to the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL) Program’s list of appropriate test standards and (2) update the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs. DATES: The actions contained in this notice will become effective on November 5, 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 web page includes information about the NRTL Program (see https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/ nrtl/). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: 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. A. Addition of New Test Standards to the NRTL List of Appropriate Test Standards 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 PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 59647 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 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 its 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, covers a type of product that no standard previously covered, or is otherwise new to the NRTL Program. B. SDO Deletion and Replacement of Test Standards The NRTL program regulations require that appropriate test standards be maintained and current (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test standard withdrawn by a standards-development organization is no longer considered an appropriate test standard (Directive, App. C.XIV.B). It is OSHA’s policy to remove recognition of withdrawn test standards by issuing a correction notice in the Federal Register for all NRTLs recognized for the withdrawn test standards. However, SDOs frequently will designate a replacement standard for standards they withdraw. OSHA will recognize a NRTL for an appropriate replacement test standard if the NRTL has the requisite testing and evaluation capability for the replacement test standard. One method that NRTLs may use to show such capability involves an analysis to determine whether any testing and evaluation requirements of existing test standards in a NRTL scope are comparable (i.e., are completely or substantially identical) to the requirements in the replacement test standard. If OSHA’s analysis shows the replacement test standard does not require additional or different technical capability than an existing test standard(s), the replacement test standard is comparable to the existing test standard(s), then OSHA can add the replacement test standard to affected NRTLs’ scopes of recognition. If OSHA’s analysis shows the replacement test E:\FR\FM\05NON1.SGM 05NON1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL, as part of continuing efforts to 
reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance 
consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies 
an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of 
information before submitting them to the OMB for final approval. This 
program helps to ensure requested data can be provided in the desired 
format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, 
collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of 
collection requirements can be properly assessed.
    The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) requires 
covered employers to secure the payment of compensation under the Act 
and its extensions by purchasing insurance from a carrier authorized by 
the Secretary of Labor to write Longshore Act Insurance, or becoming 
authorized self-insured employers. Each authorized insurance carrier 
(or carrier seeking authorization) is required to establish annually 
that its Longshore obligations are fully secured either through an 
applicable state guaranty (or analogous fund), a deposit of security 
with the Division of Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation 
(DLHWC), or a combination of both. Similarly, each authorized self-
insurer (or employer seeking authorization) is required to fully secure 
its Longshore Act obligations by depositing security with DLHWC. These 
requirements are designed to assure the prompt and continued payment of 
compensation and other benefits by the responsible carrier or self-
insurer to injured workers and their survivors. Forms LS-276, 
Application for Security Deposit Determination; LS-275-IC, Agreement 
and Undertaking (Insurance Carrier); and LS-275-SI, Agreement and 
Undertaking (Self-Insured Employer) are used to cover the submission of 
information by insurance carriers and self-insured employers regarding 
their ability to meet their financial obligations under the Longshore 
Act and its extensions. This information is currently approved through 
December 31, 2019. 33 U.S.C. 932 et seq. 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 the OMB under the PRA approves it 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. Written comments will receive 
consideration, and summarized and included in the request for OMB 
approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB No. 1240-0005.
    Submitted comments will also be a matter of public record for this 
ICR and posted on the internet, without redaction. The DOL encourages 
commenters not to include personally identifiable information, 
confidential business data, or other sensitive statements/information 
in any comments.
