These data are used to periodically
update the national Consumer Price
Index. In addition, the data are used by
a variety of researchers in academia,
government agencies, and the private
sector. The data are collected from a
national probability sample of
households designed to represent the
total civilian non-institutional
population. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on September 15, 2022 (87 FR

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
OSHA is providing notice that
Eurofins Electrical and Electronic
Testing NA, Inc. a/k/a MET
Laboratories, Inc. (MET), is applying for
expansion of the current recognition as
a NRTL. MET requests the addition of
two test standards 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 applications by
a NRTL for initial recognition and for an
expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
71685
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. In the second notice, the agency
provides a 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 MET, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
MET currently has one facility (site)
recognized by OSHA for product testing
and certification, with the headquarters
located at: MET Laboratories, Inc., 914
West Patapsco Avenue, Baltimore,
Maryland 21230. A complete list of
MET’s scope of recognition is available
at https://www.osha.gov/nationallyrecognized-testing-laboratory-program/
met.
II. General Background on the
Application
MET submitted one application, dated
September 3, 2021 (OSHA–2006–0028–
0092), to expand the recognition to
include two additional 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.
Table 1, below, lists the appropriate
test standards found in MET’s
application for expansion for testing and
certification of products under the
NRTL Program.

IV. Public Participation
OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether MET meets the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) invites

Labor through the Assistant Secretary of
Labor for Occupational Safety and

formulating maritime industry
standards and regarding matters
pertaining to the administration of the
OSH Act related to the maritime
industry. MACOSH is a nondiscretionary advisory committee of
indefinite duration (see section 3510 of
the National Defense Authorization Act
of 2020 (Pub. L. 116–92)).
MACOSH operates in accordance
with the Federal Advisory Committee
