I. Background
Section 103(h)of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes
MSHA to collect information necessary
to carry out its duty in protecting the
safety and health of miners. Further,
section 101(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C.
811, authorizes the Secretary of Labor to
develop, promulgate, and revise as may
be appropriate, improved mandatory
health or safety standards for the
protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal and metal and nonmetal
mines.
Under section 305(g) of the Mine Act,
all electric equipment located at a coal
mine shall be frequently examined,
tested, and properly maintained by a
qualified person to assure safe operating
conditions. The determination of a
person as qualified to examine, test, and
maintain electric equipment at a coal
mine is further defined under the
provisions of Title 30 CFR 75.153 and
77.103.
Title 30 CFR 75.153 and 77.103 define
a person as qualified to perform
electrical work if he has been qualified
as a coal mine electrician by a State that
has a coal mine electrical qualification
program approved by MSHA; or if he
has at least 1 year of experience
performing electrical work underground
in a coal mine, in a surface coal mine,
in a noncoal mine, in the mine
equipment manufacturing industry, or
in any other industry using or
manufacturing similar equipment, and
has satisfactorily completed a coal mine
electrical training program approved by
MSHA or has attained a satisfactory
grade on a series of five written tests
approved by MSHA.
MSHA Form 5000–1 is completed and
submitted by those individuals
providing both the initial and
subsequent annual training necessary to
meet the requirements of Title 30 CFR
75.153 and 77.103 for individuals
qualified to examine, test, and maintain
electrical equipment. MSHA Form
5000–1 provides the coal mining
industry with a standardized reporting
format that expedites the certification
process while ensuring compliance with
the regulations. The information
provided on the form enables MSHA to
determine if the applicants satisfy the
requirements to obtain the certification
or qualification.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Certificate of
Electrical Training. MSHA is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
OSHA is providing notice that UL
LLC (UL) is applying to expand the
scope of its current recognition as a
NRTL. UL requests the addition of two
test standards to its 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.
The agency processes applications by
NRTLs or applicant organizations for
initial recognition, as well as for
expansion or renewal of recognition,
following the 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
51153
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 UL, which details
that NRTL’s scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA
website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/. UL currently has
thirteen facilities (sites) recognized by
OSHA for product testing and
certification, with headquarters located
at: UL LLC, 333 Pfingsten Road,
Northbrook, Illinois 60062. A complete
list of UL sites recognized by OSHA is
available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/ul.html.
II. General Background on the
Application
UL submitted an application, dated
December 24, 2021, to expand
recognition to include thirty-eight
additional test standards (OSHA–2009–
0025–0043). This application was
amended on July 19, 2022 to separate
two standards from the original request
(OSHA–2009–0025–0044). The
remaining thirty-six standards will be
addressed in a separate Federal Register
notice in the future. The current
expansion under consideration, if
approved, will cover two standards.
OSHA staff performed a detailed
analysis of the application packet and
other pertinent information. OSHA did
not perform any on-site reviews in
relation to this application.
Table 1, below, lists the test standards
found in UL’s application for expansion
for testing and certification of products
under the NRTL Program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
FM Approvals LLC (FM) as a NRTL.
FM’s expansion covers the addition of
one test standard to the NRTL scope of
recognition.
OSHA 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.
The agency processes an application
by a NRTL for initial recognition and for
an expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A, 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 the
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
PO 00000
Frm 00102
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
scope. OSHA maintains an
informational web page for each NRTL,
including FM, which details the NRTL’s
scope of recognition. These pages are
available from the OSHA website at
https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
FM submitted an application dated
November 3, 2021 (OSHA–2007–0041–
0018), to expand their recognition to
include one additional test standard.
The standard requested in the
expansion application is a replacement
standard for ISA 12.12.01, which is
currently included in FM’s NRTL Scope
of Recognition. OSHA staff performed
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 FM’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
June 17, 2022 (87 FR 36542). The agency
requested comments by July 5, 2022, but
it received no comments in response to
this notice. OSHA is now proceeding
with this final grant of expansion of
FM’s NRTL recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to the
FM’s application, go to https://
www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor. Docket No. OSHA–2007–0041
contains all materials in the record
concerning FM’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.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined FM’s expansion
application, its capability to meet the
requirements of the test standard, and
other pertinent information. Based on
its review of this evidence, OSHA finds
that FM meets the requirements of 29
CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition, subject to the limitations
and conditions listed in this notice.
OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with
this final notice to grant FM’s expanded
scope of recognition. OSHA limits the
expansion of FM’s recognition to testing
and certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standard listed below in Table 1.
