ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to expand the scope of recognition for TUV SUD America, Inc., as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). DATES: The expansion of the scope of recognition becomes effective on February 26, 2020. 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. Notice of Final Decision OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of recognition of TUV SUD America, Inc. (TUVAM), as a NRTL. TUVAM’s expansion covers the addition of one recognized testing and certification site to their NRTL scope of recognition. OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies that the organization meets the requirements in Section 1910.7 of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR 1910.7). Recognition is an acknowledgment that the organization PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 can perform independent safety testing and certification of the specific products covered within its scope of recognition and is not a delegation or grant of government authority. As a result of recognition, employers may use products properly approved by the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require testing and certification. The agency processes applications by a NRTL for initial recognition, or for 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 its preliminary finding and, 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 that details its scope of recognition. These pages are available from the agency’s website at https:// www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ index.html. TUVAM submitted an application, dated June 29, 2018 (OSHA–2007– 0043–0027), to expand the recognition to include the addition of one recognized testing and certification site located at: TUV SUD Certification and Testing (China) Co. Ltd. Shanghai Branch 3–13, No. 151 Heng Tong Road, Shanghai 200070, P.R. China. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the application and other pertinent information. OSHA staff also performed an on-site review of TUV SUD Shanghai’s testing and certification facility on April 19–20, 2019 and recommended expansion of TUVAM’s recognition to include this one site. OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing TUVAM’s expansion application in the Federal Register on July 19, 2019 (84 FR 34952). The agency requested comments by August 5, 2019, but it received no comments in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this final notice to grant expansion of TUVAM’s scope of recognition. To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to the TUVAM expansion application, go to www.regulations.gov or contact the Docket Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Room N–3653, Washington, DC 20210. Docket No. OSHA–2007–0043 contains all materials in the record concerning TUVAM’s recognition. E:\FR\FM\26FEN1.SGM 26FEN1
