SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
OSHA is providing notice that Nemko
North America, Inc. (NNA) is applying
for expansion of the current recognition
as a NRTL. NNA requests the addition
of one test standard 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 NNA, which
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
NNA currently has two facilities
(sites) recognized by OSHA for product
testing and certification, with the
headquarters located at: Nemko North
America, Inc., 303 River Road, Ottawa,
Ontario K1V 1H2 Canada. A complete
list of NNA’s scope of recognition is
available at https://www.osha.gov/
nationally-recognized-testinglaboratory-program/ccl.
II. General Background on the
Application
NNA submitted an application on
September 20, 2023 (OSHA–2013–
0016–0022), to expand the recognition
to include one additional test standard.
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 standard found in NNA’s
application for expansion for testing and
certification of products under the
NRTL Program.

III. Preliminary Findings on the
Application
NNA submitted an acceptable
application for expansion of the scope
of recognition. OSHA’s review of the
application file, and pertinent
documentation, indicates that NNA has
met the requirements prescribed by 29
CFR 1910.7 for expanding the
recognition to include the addition of
the one test standard for NRTL testing
and certification listed in Table 1. This
preliminary finding does not constitute
an interim or temporary approval of
NNA’s application.
IV. Public Participation
OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether NNA 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 exhibits
identified in this notice, as well as
comments submitted to the docket,

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
NNA’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.

of the ninth triennial rulemaking
proceeding under the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (‘‘DMCA’’)
concerning proposed exemptions to the
DMCA’s prohibition against
circumvention of technological
measures that control access to
copyrighted works. Parties interested in
testifying at the hearings are invited to
submit requests to testify pursuant to
the instructions set forth below.
DATES: Public hearings will be
scheduled for the week of April 15–19,
2024. Requests to testify must be
received no later than 11:59 p.m.
Eastern time on March 1, 2024. The
Office will prepare a schedule based on
the number and nature of requests to
testify. Once the schedule of hearing

forth proposed exemptions for seven
new or expanded classes of works and
requesting written comments.2 The
responsive comments received thus far
are posted on the Office’s website. See
https://www.copyright.gov/1201/2024/.
At this time, the Office is announcing
public hearings to be held via Zoom to
further consider the proposed
exemptions. Each hearing will pertain to
a proposed exemption and will feature
a panel of witnesses. Hearings will be
live-streamed, recorded, transcribed,
and posted to the Office’s website.
Those who wish to speak on a panel
should submit a request to testify by
following the procedure detailed below.
If the Office does not receive any
requests to testify regarding a particular
class, it will not host a hearing for that
proposed exemption. If the Office
receives requests to testify but
determines a hearing is not necessary, it
will contact requesters.
A. Submitting Requests To Testify
A request to testify should be
submitted to the Office using the form
on the Office’s website indicated in the
ADDRESSES section above. Anyone
wishing to testify with respect to more
than one proposed class must submit a
separate form for each request. To the
extent feasible, the Office requests that
organizations submit only one panelist
request per proposed class and
encourages parties with similar interests
to select a common representative to
testify on their behalf. If multiple
persons from the same organization
wish to testify regarding the same
proposed exemption, each should
submit a separate request, and explain
in their submission the need for
multiple witnesses. For parties
represented by law school clinics, the
Office will attempt to accommodate
requests to allow students to participate
under the supervision of a faculty
member.
Depending on the number and nature
of the requests, and in light of the
limited time available, the Office may
not be able to accommodate all requests
to testify. The Office will give
preference to those who have submitted
substantive comments in support of or
in opposition to a proposal.
All requests to testify must clearly
identify:
• The name of the person seeking to
serve as a witness;
• The organization or organizations
represented, if any;
• Contact information;
• The proposed class about which the
person seeks to testify;
