adjustments to ETA Form 671, Section
II (Voluntary Disability Disclosure).
ETA has added the information
collection requirements that are
currently approved under OMB Control
Number 1205–0224 to this ICR in an
effort to consolidate all information
collection requirements pertaining to
the registration of apprenticeship
programs and apprentices into a single
ICR. The adjustments to ETA Form 9039
(Complaint Form—Equal Employment
Opportunity in Apprenticeship
Programs) include minor,
nonsubstantive textual edits, and
technical corrections indicating that the
regulatory requirements governing
registered apprenticeship programs are
now contained in 29 CFR part 29,
subpart A. ETA will submit a request to
discontinue the ICR approved under
OMB Control Number 1205–0224 once
approval is granted by OMB on this ICR.
ETA has also added a new
information collection instrument, ETA
Form 9186 (State Apprenticeship
Agency (SAA) Self-Assessment Report
for Program Data and Apprentice
Demographics), to this ICR. If approved,
this form will be completed by the
SAAs that currently do not use DOL/
ETA’s Registered Apprenticeship
Partners Information Database System
(RAPIDS) to administer Registered
Apprenticeship in their respective state/
territory. This collection will enable
ETA to calculate more precisely the
total number of registered
apprenticeship programs and
apprentices on a nationwide basis.
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. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval of the final ICR. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Control Number 1205–
0223.
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:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
(e.g., permitting electronic submission
of responses).

QAI Laboratories, Ltd. Applications for
Expansion of Recognition
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In this notice, OSHA
announces the final decision to expand
the scope of recognition for QAI
Laboratories, Ltd., (QAI) as a Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
DATES: The expansion of the scope of
recognition becomes effective on
January 13, 2021.
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, U.S. Department of
Labor, 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, U.S. Department
of Labor, phone: (202) 693–2110 or
email: robinson.kevin@dol.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition
for QAI to cover the addition of twentyone test standards to the NRTL scope of
recognition.
OSHA’s 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
employers to use products approved by
the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require product testing and certification.
E:\FR\FM\13JAN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 8 / Wednesday, January 13, 2021 / Notices
The agency processes NRTL
applications 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 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, detailing 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 facilities (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.
QAI submitted three applications, one
dated October 16, 2017 (OSHA–2013–
0017–0015), to expand recognition to
include seventeen additional test
standards. This application was
amended on June 12, 2019 (OSHA–
2013–0017–0016), to remove some
standards from the original request and
add others. This revised application was
amended again on February 11, 2020
(OSHA–2013–0017–0017), to request
twenty-one additional standards to be
added to QAI’s NRTL scope of
recognition. 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. OSHA published the
preliminary notice announcing QAI’s
expansion applications in the Federal
Register on September 22, 2020 (85 FR
59557). The agency requested comments
by October 7, 2020, but it received no
comments in response to this notice.
OSHA is now proceeding with this final
notice to grant expansion of QAI’s scope
of recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to QAI’s
applications, go to www.regulations.gov
or contact the Docket Office,
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration at 202–693–2350.
Docket No. OSHA–2013–0017 contains
all materials in the record concerning
QAI’s recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA examined QAI’s expansion
applications, the capability to meet the
requirements of the test standards, and
other pertinent information. Based on a
review of this evidence, OSHA finds
that QAI meets the requirements of 29
CFR 1910.7 for expansion of the scope
of recognition, subject to the conditions
listed below. OSHA, therefore, is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant the expansion of QAI’s scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of QAI’s scope of recognition to testing
and certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standards listed in Table 1.

testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope
of recognition does not include these
products.
The American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) may approve the test
standards listed above as American
National Standards. However, for
convenience, the designation of the
PO 00000
Frm 00066

standard or the ANSI version of that
standard. Contact ANSI to determine
whether a test standard is currently
ANSI-approved.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, QAI
must abide by the following conditions
of the recognition:
1. QAI must inform OSHA as soon as
possible, in writing, of any change of
ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major change in the
operations as a NRTL, and provide

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition for QAI to cover the addition of twenty-one test standards
to the NRTL scope of recognition.
OSHA's 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 product-
certification activities for test standards within the NRTL's scope.
Recognition is not a delegation or grant of government authority;
however, recognition enables employers to use products approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require product testing and
certification.
[[Page 2702]]
The agency processes NRTL applications 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 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,
detailing 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 facilities (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.
QAI submitted three applications, one dated October 16, 2017 (OSHA-
2013-0017-0015), to expand recognition to include seventeen additional
test standards. This application was amended on June 12, 2019 (OSHA-

Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration at 202-693-2350.
Docket No. OSHA-2013-0017 contains all materials in the record
concerning QAI's recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA examined QAI's expansion applications, the capability to meet
the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on a review of this evidence, OSHA finds that QAI
meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of the scope of
recognition, subject to the conditions listed below. OSHA, therefore,
is proceeding with this final notice to grant the expansion of QAI's

OSHA's recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is
limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require
third-party testing and certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products
for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, a
NRTL's scope of recognition does not include these products.
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the
test standards listed above as American National Standards. However,
for convenience, the designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation may be
used. Under the NRTL Program's policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 1-0.3,
Appendix C, paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized for a particular test
standard may use either the proprietary version of the test
[[Page 2703]]
standard or the ANSI version of that standard. Contact ANSI to
determine whether a test standard is currently ANSI-approved.
A. Conditions
