Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 10 / Tuesday, January 17, 2023 / Notices
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 the
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.
MET submitted an 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 the application.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing MET’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
November 23, 2022 (87 FR 71684). The
agency requested comments by
December 8, 2022, but it received no
comments in response to this notice.
OSHA now is proceeding with this final
notice to grant expansion of MET’s
scope of recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to MET’s
application, go to https://
www.regulations.gov or contact the
OSHA Docket Office. Docket No.
OSHA–2006–0028 contains all materials
in the record concerning MET’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 MET’s
expansion application, the capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standard, and other pertinent
information. Based on the review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that MET meets
the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of the NRTL scope of
recognition, subject to the limitation
and conditions listed below. OSHA,
therefore, is proceeding with this final
notice to grant MET’s scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of MET’s recognition to testing and
certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standards listed in Table 1.

TABLE 1—LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN MET’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION
Test Standard
Test standard title
UL 698A ..............................................................
UL 60079–31 ......................................................
Standard for Industrial Control Panels Related to Hazardous (Classified) Locations
Standard for Safety Explosive Atmospheres—Part 31: Equipment Dust Ignition Protection by
Enclosure ‘‘t’’
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 use of the designation
of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed
to the ANSI designation may occur.
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 a
particular 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, MET
must abide by the following conditions
of the recognition:
1. MET must inform OSHA as soon as
possible, in writing, of any change of
ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major change in their
operations as a NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. MET must meet all the terms of the
NRTL recognition and comply with all
OSHA policies pertaining to this
recognition; and
3. MET must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
MET’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 MET, subject to the
limitations and conditions specified
above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Copyright Act grants to sound
recordings copyright owners the
exclusive right to publicly perform
sound recordings by means of certain
digital audio transmissions, subject to
limitations. Specifically, the right is
limited by the statutory license in
section 114, which allows nonexempt
noninteractive digital subscription
services, eligible nonsubscription
services, and preexisting satellite digital
audio radio services to perform publicly
sound recordings by means of digital
audio transmissions. 17 U.S.C. 114(f). In
addition, a statutory license in section
112 allows a service to make necessary
ephemeral reproductions to facilitate
digital transmission of the sound
recording. 17 U.S.C. 112(e).
Licensees may operate under these
licenses provided they pay the royalty
fees and comply with the terms set by
the Copyright Royalty Judges. The rates
and terms for the section 112 and 114
licenses are codified in 37 CFR parts
380 and 382–84.
As one of the terms for these licenses,
the Judges designated SoundExchange,
Inc., (SoundExchange) as the Collective,
i.e., the organization charged with
collecting the royalty payments and
statements of account submitted by
licensees, including those that operate
commercial webcaster services,
preexisting satellite digital audio radio
services, new subscription services, and
those that make ephemeral copies for
transmission to business establishments.
The Collective is also charged with
distributing the royalties to the
copyright owners and performers
entitled to receive them under the
section 112 and 114 licenses. See 37
CFR 380.4(d)(1), 382.5(d)(1), 383.4(a),
384.4(b)(1).
As the Collective, SoundExchange
may, only once a year, conduct an audit
of a licensee for any or all of the prior
three calendar years to verify royalty
payments. SoundExchange must first
file with the Judges a notice of intent to
audit a licensee and deliver the notice
to the licensee. See 37 CFR 380.6(b),
382.7(b), 383.4(a) and 384.6(b).
