SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
OSHA is providing notice that
Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.
(ITSNA), is applying for an expansion of
current recognition as a NRTL. ITSNA
requests the addition of 23 test sites to
its 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, as well
as for an expansion or renewal of
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 ITSNA, which details that
NRTL’s scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA
website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/
otpca/nrtl/.
ITSNA currently has 13 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/
nationally-recognized-testinglaboratory-program/itsna.
II. General Background on the
Application
ITSNA submitted an application,
dated December 18, 2020 (OSHA–2007–
0039–0047), requesting the conversion
of 23 existing Satellite Notification
Acceptance Program (SNAP) sites to
recognized sites under the NRTL Policy
for Transitioning to Satellite
Notification and Acceptance Program
Termination (SNAP Transition Policy)
published in the Federal Register on
November 24, 2020 (85 FR 75042), as
amended by a June 22, 2022
Memorandum from James S. Frederick,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Occupational Safety and Health, to
Regional Administrators and Executive
Staff, titled ‘‘Second Revision to the
Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL) Policy for
Transitioning to Satellite Notification
and Acceptance Program (SNAP)
Termination.’’

OSHA has preliminarily determined
that it is appropriate to review this
application under the SNAP Transition
Policy. ITSNA’s application was timely
submitted under that policy, and OSHA
preliminarily finds that the SNAP sites
in ITSNA’s application met all other
preconditions of eligibility for
conversion to recognized sites under the
policy (See SNAP Termination Policy,
part III 1.a–g, 85 FR at 75047). OSHA
also preliminarily decided that it was
not necessary to conduct on-site reviews
in connection with ITSNA’s expansion
application, based on historical
assessment records and supporting
documentation submitted by ITSNA.
Moreover, OSHA staff performed
assessments of several ITSNA facilities
included in the SNAP conversion
application from June 2020 to November
2022, and, while assessors found some
nonconformances with the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7, ITSNA addressed
these issues sufficiently. OSHA staff has
preliminarily determined that OSHA
should grant the application and grant
recognition to the 23 sites requested in
the application.
III. Preliminary Finding on the
Application
ITSNA submitted an acceptable
application for expansion of its scope of
recognition. OSHA’s review of the
application file and pertinent
documentation indicates that ITSNA
can meet the requirements prescribed by
29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its
recognition to include the addition of
the 23 additional test sites for NRTL
testing and certification. This
preliminary finding does not constitute
an interim or temporary approval of
ITSNA’s application.
OSHA seeks public comment on this
preliminary determination.
IV. Public Participation
OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether ITSNA meets the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:39 Aug 14, 2023
Jkt 259001
Country
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
expansion of recognition as a NRTL.
Comments should consist of pertinent
written documents and exhibits.
Commenters needing more time to
comment must submit a request in
writing, stating the reasons for the
request by the due date for comments.
OSHA will limit any extension to 10
days unless the requester justifies a
longer time period. OSHA may deny a
request for an extension if it is not
adequately justified.
To review copies of the exhibit
identified in this notice, as well as
comments submitted to the docket,
contact the Docket Office, Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, U.S.
Department of Labor. These materials
also are generally available online at
https://www.regulations.gov under
Docket No. OSHA–2007–0039 (for
further information, see the ‘‘Docket’’
heading in the section of this notice
titled ADDRESSES).
OSHA staff will review all comments
to the docket submitted in a timely
manner. After addressing the issues
raised by these comments, staff will
make a recommendation to the Assistant
Secretary of Labor for Occupational
Safety and Health on whether to grant
ITSNA’s application for expansion of
the scope of recognition. The Assistant
Secretary will make the final decision
on granting the application. In making
this decision, the Assistant Secretary
may undertake other proceedings
prescribed in Appendix A to 29 CFR
1910.7.
OSHA will publish a public notice of
the final decision in the Federal
Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for Expansion
OSHA is providing notice that Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc.
(ITSNA), is applying for an expansion of current recognition as a NRTL.
ITSNA requests the addition of 23 test sites to its 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 product-
certification 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, as well as for an expansion or renewal of 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 ITSNA, which details that NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
ITSNA currently has 13 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/nationally-recognized-testing-laboratory-program/itsna.

OSHA has preliminarily determined that it is appropriate to review
this application under the SNAP Transition Policy. ITSNA's application
was timely submitted under that policy, and OSHA preliminarily finds
that the SNAP sites in ITSNA's application met all other preconditions
of eligibility for conversion to recognized sites under the policy (See
SNAP Termination Policy, part III 1.a-g, 85 FR at 75047). OSHA also
preliminarily decided that it was not necessary to conduct on-site
reviews in connection with ITSNA's expansion application, based on
historical assessment records and supporting documentation submitted by
ITSNA. Moreover, OSHA staff performed assessments of several ITSNA
facilities included in the SNAP conversion application from June 2020
to November 2022, and, while assessors found some nonconformances with
the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7, ITSNA addressed these issues
sufficiently. OSHA staff has preliminarily determined that OSHA should
grant the application and grant recognition to the 23 sites requested
in the application.
III. Preliminary Finding on the Application
ITSNA submitted an acceptable application for expansion of its
scope of recognition. OSHA's review of the application file and
pertinent documentation indicates that ITSNA can meet the requirements
prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its recognition to include
the addition of the 23 additional test sites for NRTL testing and
certification. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim
or temporary approval of ITSNA's application.
OSHA seeks public comment on this preliminary determination.
IV. Public Participation
OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether ITSNA meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of recognition as a NRTL.
Comments should consist of pertinent written documents and exhibits.
Commenters needing more time to comment must submit a request in
writing, stating the reasons for the request by the due date for
comments. OSHA will limit any extension to 10 days unless the requester
justifies a longer time period. OSHA may deny a request for an
extension if it is not adequately justified.
To review copies of the exhibit identified in this notice, as well
as comments submitted to the docket, contact the Docket Office,
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of
Labor. These materials also are generally available online at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket No. OSHA-2007-0039 (for further
information, see the ``Docket'' heading in the section of this notice
titled ADDRESSES).
OSHA staff will review all comments to the docket submitted in a
timely manner. After addressing the issues raised by these comments,
staff will make a recommendation to the Assistant Secretary of Labor
for Occupational Safety and Health on whether to grant ITSNA's
application for expansion of the scope of recognition. The Assistant
Secretary will make the final decision on granting the application. In
making this decision, the Assistant Secretary may undertake other
proceedings prescribed in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7.
OSHA will publish a public notice of the final decision in the
Federal Register.
