All grader operators will be trained to lower the moldboard in emergency situations and before exiting the operator’s compartment. (b) All grader operators will be trained to recognize appropriate levels of speed for the different road conditions. The grader will not travel up or down the mine slope unassisted. If the grader is taken out of the mine, an additional piece of equipment with adequate braking capacity will be used to assist removing the grader from the mine and take it back into the mine, via the mine slope. (c) Within 60 days after this Proposed Decision and Order (PDO) becomes final, the petitioner will submit a proposed revision for its approved part 48 training plan to the Mine Safety and Health Enforcement District Manager. The PDO will be covered in all task training for every employee that will be operating the grader and will be included in the mine’s annual refresher training. The mine’s management team and workforce will also be trained on the PDO. The petitioner asserts that the alternative method proposed will at all times guarantee no less than the same measure of protection afforded the miners under the mandatory standard.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Notice of the Application for Expansion OSHA is providing notice that Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. (ITSNA), is applying for expansion of the current recognition as a NRTL. ITSNA requests the addition of eighteen 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 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 ITSNA, which details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. These pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/ dts/otpca/nrtl/. ITSNA currently has thirteen facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA for product testing and certification, with the headquarters located at: Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc., 545 East Algonquin Road, Suite F, Arlington Heights, Illinois 60005. A complete list of ITSNA’s scope of recognition is available at https://www.osha.gov/ E:\FR\FM\24MYN1.SGM 24MYN1
