Download as PDF 42436 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 135 / Tuesday, July 14, 2020 / Notices SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies that the organization meets the requirements in § 1910.7 of title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR 1910.7). Recognition is an acknowledgment that the organization 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 of the products. OSHA maintains an informational web page for each NRTL that details its scope of recognition available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/ otpca/nrtl/. The agency processes applications by a NRTL for renewal of recognition following requirements in appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA conducts renewals in accordance with the procedures in 29 CFR 1910.7, appendix A, paragraph II.C. In accordance with these procedures, NRTLs submit a renewal request to OSHA, not less than nine months or no more than one year, before the expiration date of its current recognition. A request includes a request for renewal and any additional information the NRTL may submit to demonstrate its continued compliance with the terms of its recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7. If OSHA did not conduct an on-site assessment of the NRTL’s headquarters and key sites within the past 18 to 24 months, it will schedule the necessary on-site assessments prior to the expiration date of the NRTL’s recognition. Upon review of the submitted material and, as necessary, the successful completion of the on-site assessment, OSHA announces its preliminary decision to grant or deny renewal in the Federal Register and solicits comments from the public. OSHA then publishes a final Federal Register notice responding to any comments and renewing the NRTL’s recognition for a period of five years, or denying the renewal of recognition. NSF initially received OSHA recognition as a NRTL on December 10, 1998 (63 FR 68309). NSF’s most recent renewal was on July 14, 2014, for a fiveyear period expiring on July 14, 2019. NSF submitted a timely request for renewal, dated October 11, 2018 (OSHA–2006–0048–0013), and retains its recognition pending OSHA’s final decision in this renewal process. The current address of the NSF facility VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:58 Jul 13, 2020 Jkt 250001 recognized by OSHA and included as part of the renewal request is: 1. NSF International, 789 Dixboro Road, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105. OSHA will publish a public notice of this final decision in the Federal Register. II.

OSHA is providing notice that NSF is applying for renewal of its recognition as a NRTL. This renewal covers NSF’s existing NRTL scope of recognition. OSHA evaluated NSF’s application for renewal and preliminarily determined that NSF can continue to meet the requirements prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for recognition. Accordingly, OSHA is making a determination that it does not need to conduct an additional on-site review of NSF’s facilities based on its evaluations of NSF’s application and all other available information. This information includes OSHA’s audits of NSF’s NRTL recognized site during this recognition period, and the satisfactory resolution of non-conformances with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim or temporary approval of the request. OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether NSF meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for renewal of its recognition as a NRTL. Comments should consist of pertinent written documents and exhibits. Commenters needing more time to comment must submit a request in 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies that the organization meets 
the requirements in Sec.  1910.7 of title 29, Code of Federal 
Regulations (29 CFR 1910.7). Recognition is an acknowledgment that the 
organization 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. OSHA 
maintains an informational web page for each NRTL that details its 
scope of recognition available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
    OSHA processes applications by a NRTL for renewal of recognition 
following requirements in appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA conducts 
renewals in accordance with the procedures in 29 CFR 1910.7, appendix 
A, Section II.C. In accordance with these procedures, NRTLs submit a 
renewal request to OSHA, not less than nine months or no more than one 
year, before the expiration date of its current recognition. The 
submission request includes a request for renewal and any additional 
information the NRTL wishes to submit to demonstrate its continued 
compliance with the terms of its recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7. If OSHA 
has not conducted an on-site assessment of the NRTL's headquarters and 
key sites within the past 18 to 24 months, it will schedule the 
necessary on-site assessments prior to the expiration date of the 
NRTL's recognition. Upon review of the submitted material and, as 
necessary, the successful completion of the on-site assessment, OSHA 
announces its preliminary decision to grant or deny renewal in the 
Federal Register and solicit comments from the public. OSHA then 
publishes a final Federal Register notice responding to any comments 
and renewing the NRTL's recognition for a period of five years, or 
denying the renewal of recognition.
    SGS initially received OSHA recognition as a NRTL on March 23, 1993 
(58 FR 15509). SGS's most recent renewal was on July 14, 2014, for a 
five-year period ending on July 14, 2019. SGS submitted a timely 
request for renewal, dated October 2, 2018 (OSHA-2006-0040-0050), and 
retains its recognition pending OSHA's final decision in this renewal 
process. The current addresses of the SGS facilities recognized by OSHA 
and included as part of the renewal request are:
    (1) SGS North America, Inc., 620 Old Peachtree Road, Suwanee, 
Georgia 30024;

II. Notice of Preliminary Findings

    OSHA is providing notice that SGS is applying for renewal of its 
recognition as a NRTL. This renewal covers SGS's existing NRTL scope of 
recognition. OSHA evaluated SGS's application for renewal and 
preliminarily determined that SGS can continue to meet the requirements 
prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for recognition. Accordingly, OSHA is 
making a determination that it does not need to conduct an additional 
on-site review of SGS's facilities based on its evaluations of SGS's 
application and all other available information. This information 
includes OSHA's audits of SGS's recognized NRTL sites during this 
recognition period, and the satisfactory resolution of non-conformances 
with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. This preliminary finding does 
not constitute an interim or temporary approval of the request.
    OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether SGS meets the 
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for renewal of their recognition as a 
NRTL. Comments should consist of pertinent written documents and 
exhibits. Commenters needing more time to comment must submit a request 
in writing, stating the reasons for the request. OSHA must receive the 
written request for an extension by the due date for comments. OSHA 
will limit any extension to 30

[[Page 42438]]

days unless the requester justifies a longer period. OSHA may deny a 
request for an extension if it is not adequately justified. To obtain 
or review copies of the publicly available information in SGS's 
application and other pertinent documents (including exhibits), as well 
as all submitted comments, contact the Docket Office, Room N-3653, 
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of 
Labor, at the above address; these materials also are available online 
at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket No. OSHA-2006-0040.
    OSHA staff will review all comments to the docket submitted in a 
timely manner and, after addressing the issues raised by these
