ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to expand the scope of recognition for SGS North America, Inc., as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). Additionally, OSHA announces the addition of four test standards to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards. DATES: The expansion of the scope of recognition becomes effective on December 23, 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; telephone: (202) 693–2110; email: robinson.kevin@dol.gov. OSHA’s web page includes information about the NRTL Program (see https:// www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ index.html). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: 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 eighteen test standards to the scope of recognition. Additionally, OSHA announces the addition of four test standards 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 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 to OSHA to expand recognition as a NRTL to include twenty additional test standards on June 5, 2020 (OSHA– 2006–0040–0070). This application was amended on June 8, 2021, to remove one standard from the original application (OSHA–2006–0040–0071). 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. 72999 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 November 1, 2021 (86 FR 60299). As OSHA noted therein, OSHA preliminarily determined that one of the standards requested in the application, UL 4200A, Standard for Products Incorporating Button or Coin Cell Batteries of Lithium Technologies, does not meet the appropriate test standard requirements in 29 CFR 1910.7(c) because it does not specify the safety requirements for specific equipment or a class of equipment as required by the regulation. Therefore the agency did not consider this standard in SGS’s expansion application. The expansion in this notice includes the remaining eighteen standards. The agency requested comments by November 16, 2021, but it received no comments in response to this 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 application, go to https:// www.regulations.gov. Docket No. OSHA–2006–0040 contains all materials in the record concerning SGS’s recognition. Please note: Due to the COVID–19 pandemic, the Docket Office is closed to the public at this time but can be contacted at (202) 693–2350, TTY (877) 889–5627. 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 standard listed in Table 1.
