SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
SGS of North America, Inc. (SGS), as a
NRTL. SGS’s expansion covers the
addition of five test standards to its
scope of recognition. Additionally,
OSHA announces the addition of one
test standard to the NRTL Program’s List
of Appropriate Test Standards.
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies
that the organization meets the
requirements specified by 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
E:\FR\FM\29NON1.SGM
29NON1
67728
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 226 / Monday, November 29, 2021 / Notices
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.
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 a 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 the scope of
recognition. These pages are available
from the agency’s website at https://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
SGS submitted an application on
February 5, 2020 (OSHA–2006–0040–
0067), to expand its scope of recognition
to include the addition of five test
standards. 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 SGS’s expansion
application and proposed addition to
the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate
Test Standards in the Federal Register
on August 24, 2021 (86 FR 47336). The
agency requested comments by
September 8, 2021, but it received no
comments in response to the
preliminary notice. OSHA now is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant expansion of SGS’s scope of
recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to SGS’s
applications, go to https://
www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office at (202) 693–2350 (TTY
(877) 889–5627) for assistance in
locating docket submissions. Docket No.
OSHA–2006–0040 contains all materials
in the record concerning SGS’s
recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined SGS’s
expansion application, the capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on a review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that SGS meets
the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of the recognition, subject to
the specified limitation and conditions
listed. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding
with this final notice to grant expansion
of SGS’s scope of recognition. OSHA
limits the expansion of SGS’s scope of
recognition to testing and certification
of products for demonstration of
conformance to the test standards listed
in Table 1.

of recognition does not include these
products.
The American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) may approve the test
standard listed above as an American
National Standard. However, for
convenience, OSHA may use the
designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed
to the ANSI designation. Under the
NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA
Instruction CPL 01–00–004, Chapter 2,
Section VIII), only standards determined
to be appropriate test standards may be
approved for NRTL recognition. Any
NRTL recognized for an appropriate test
standard may use either the proprietary
version of the test 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, SGS
must abide by the following conditions
of the recognition:
1. SGS must inform OSHA as soon as
possible, in writing, of any change of
PO 00000

ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major change in the
operations as a NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. SGS must meet all the terms of the
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;
and
3. SGS must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
SGS’s scope of recognition, in all areas
for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR
1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope
of recognition of SGS, subject to the
limitation and conditions specified
above. OSHA also adds one new test
standard to the NRTL Program’s List of
Appropriate Test Standards.

(NITRD) Program National Coordination
Office (NCO), National Science
Foundation.
ACTION: Notice of meeting; correction.
AGENCY:
The notice published in the
Federal Register on November 5, 2021
contained an incorrect amount of
funding for 1991. This notice corrects
that amount. The NITRD Subcommittee
will hold a virtual public meeting to
mark the 30th anniversary of the signing
of the High-Performance Computing
(HPC) Act of 1991 and the launching of
the High-Performance Computing and
Communications Program, now known
as the NITRD Program. One of the key
parts of this legislation was to establish
an effective mechanism to coordinate
HPC, networking, and information
technology (IT) research and
development (R&D) undertaken by the
agencies of the Federal Government.
The legislation also expanded Federal
funding support for HPC and IT R&D to
ensure continued technological
leadership in these areas by the United
States. The Act aimed to provide U.S.
researchers and educators, as well as
government and the public, with the
advanced computing and information
resources they needed for achievement
of personal, business, and public goals.
The NITRD mission has expanded over
the last three decades as the capabilities
of advanced computing, networking,
and IT technologies increased
dramatically. Join us as we recognize
and celebrate the origins and expansion
of America’s IT innovation highway.
DATES: December 2, 2021.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held
virtually through Zoom, 12 Noon (EST).
Instructions: Registration is required.
You will be asked to provide your name,
email address, and affiliation. The
meeting link will be available on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
NITRD Program is the Nation’s primary
source of federally funded IT R&D,
critical to promoting and protecting
American leadership in science and
technology (S&T) innovation. The
NITRD Program focuses its work on
addressing strategic IT R&D imperatives
that lead to cutting-edge computing,
networking, and information
technologies that support U.S. national
security, economic competitiveness, and
individual health and well-being. One
of the key parts of the 1991 legislation
was to establish a mechanism to lead
the coordination and planning of
multiagency and multisector HPC R&D
to maximize the effectiveness of the
Federal Government’s R&D investments
and the transition of discoveries to
societal benefit. This vital mission has
expanded over the years to include
coordination of Federal agencies’ R&D
broadly across critical computing- and
IT-related topics in advanced wireless
technologies, artificial intelligence, big
data, cybersecurity, health IT,
networked physical systems, privacy
protection, robotics, and software
productivity and sustainability.
Through NITRD, Federal agencies
exchange information; collaborate on
research activities such as testbeds,
workshops, strategic planning, and
cooperative solicitations; and focus their
R&D resources on common goals of
making new discoveries and/or
developing new technology solutions to
address our Nation’s most critical
priorities. As an example, NITRD-linked
HPC and IT R&D underpinned U.S.
leadership in fighting COVID–19, not
only to speed discovery of therapeutics
and vaccines but also to support
Americans in conducting their
education, healthcare, personal
relationships, and businesses remotely
wherever possible. The increased
national commitment to IT R&D has
been reflected in the growth in
combined investment by NITRD’s
Federal member agencies from less than
$500 million in 1991 to nearly $6.5
billion for FY2021. For more

information about the NRTL Program (see https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of SGS of North America, Inc. (SGS), as a NRTL. SGS's
expansion covers the addition of five test standards to its scope of
recognition. Additionally, OSHA announces the addition of one test
standard to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards.
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified by 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
[[Page 67728]]
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.
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 a 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 the scope of recognition. These pages are
available from the agency's website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
SGS submitted an application on February 5, 2020 (OSHA-2006-0040-
0067), to expand its scope of recognition to include the addition of
five test standards. 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 SGS's expansion
application and proposed addition to the NRTL Program's List of
Appropriate Test Standards in the Federal Register on August 24, 2021
(86 FR 47336). The agency requested comments by September 8, 2021, but
it received no comments in response to the preliminary notice. OSHA now
is proceeding with this final notice to grant expansion of SGS's scope
of recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to
SGS's applications, go to https://www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office at (202) 693-2350 (TTY (877) 889-5627) for assistance in
locating docket submissions. Docket No. OSHA-2006-0040 contains all
materials in the record concerning SGS's recognition.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined SGS's expansion application, the capability to
meet the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on a review of this evidence, OSHA finds that SGS
meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of the
recognition, subject to the specified limitation and conditions listed.
OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant
expansion of SGS's scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of
SGS's scope of recognition to testing and certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the test standards listed in Table 1.

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 standard listed above as an American National Standard. However,
for convenience, OSHA may use the designation of the standards-
developing organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI
designation. Under the NRTL Program's policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL
01-00-004, Chapter 2, Section VIII), only standards determined to be
appropriate test standards may be approved for NRTL recognition. Any
NRTL recognized for an appropriate test standard may use either the
proprietary version of the test 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,
SGS must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. SGS 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 details of the
change(s);
2. SGS must meet all the terms of the recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. SGS must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
