paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the OMB for
final approval. This program helps to
ensure requested data can be provided
in the desired format, reporting burden
(time and financial resources) is
minimized, collection instruments are
clearly understood, and the impact of
collection requirements can be properly
assessed.
This collection of information is
necessary to comply with the reporting
requirements of the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act
(WIOA) section 308 (29 U.S.C. 491–2),
and 20 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) parts 651 and 652.
WIOA section 308 requires the
Secretary of Labor to oversee the
development, maintenance, and
continuous improvement of a
nationwide Workforce and Labor Market
Information System (workforce
information) system; and to evaluate the
performance of the system and
recommend needed improvements,
taking into consideration customer
consultation results, with particular
attention given to improvements needed
at the state, regional and local levels.
The WIGS information collection
ensures the Secretary of Labor meets
WIOA requirements, and the states
complete grant deliverables such as
state economic analyses or special
workforce information/economic
studies, and the annual performance
report.
The ETA makes use of the
information collected from WIGS
grantees primarily to serve four
customer groups: (1) the public
(including job seekers and employers);
(2) labor market intermediaries who
help individuals find a job or make
career decisions (such as employment
and school counselors, case managers at
American Job Centers, and communitybased organizations); (3) policymakers
and employment and economic program
planners and operators; and (4)
miscellaneous other customers,
including researchers, commercial data
providers, and the news media.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
PO 00000
Frm 00072
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
4037
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval of the final ICR. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention Workforce Information Grants
to States (WIGS), OMB control number
1205–0417.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential
business data, or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The DOL is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

In this notice, OSHA
announces the final decision to expand
the scope of recognition for TUV
Rheinland of North America, Inc. as a
Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL).
DATES: The expansion of the scope of
recognition becomes effective on
January 23, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Information regarding this notice is
available from the following sources:
Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc.
(TUVRNA), as a NRTL. TUVRNA’s
expansion covers the addition of two
recognized testing and certification sites
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
and is not a delegation or grant of
government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may 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, 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. 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 TUVRNA, which details that
