SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Notice of the Application for Expansion OSHA is providing notice that UL LLC, (UL) is applying to expand the current recognition as a NRTL. UL requests the addition of three 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 NRTLs or applicant organizations for initial recognition, as well as for 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 a 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 UL, which details that NRTL’s scope of recognition. These pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/ otpca/nrtl/. UL currently has fifty-five facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA for product testing and certification, with headquarters located at: UL LLC, 333 Pfingsten Road, Northbrook, Illinois 60062. A complete list of UL sites recognized by OSHA is available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ ul.html. II. General Background on the Application UL submitted an application, dated July 26, 2022 (OSHA–2009–0025–0059), to expand recognition to include three additional test standards. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the application packet and other pertinent information. OSHA did not perform any on-site reviews in relation to this application.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of the Application for Expansion

    OSHA is providing notice that UL LLC, (UL) is applying to expand 
the current recognition as a NRTL. UL requests the addition of three 
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 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 NRTLs or applicant 
organizations for initial recognition, as well as for 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 a 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 UL, which details that NRTL's scope of 
recognition. These pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
    UL currently has fifty-five facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA 
for product testing and certification, with headquarters located at: UL 
LLC, 333 Pfingsten Road, Northbrook, Illinois 60062. A complete list of 
UL sites recognized by OSHA is available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ul.html.

II. General Background on the Application

    UL submitted an application, dated July 26, 2022 (OSHA-2009-0025-
0059), to expand recognition to include three additional test 
standards. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the application 
packet and other pertinent information. OSHA did not perform any on-
site reviews in relation to this application.
    Table 1, below, lists the test standards found in UL's application 
for expansion for testing and certification of products under the NRTL 
Program.

  Table 1--Proposed Test Standards for Inclusion in UL's NRTL Scope of
                               Recognition

                                Fire Pump.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
* In this notice, OSHA also proposes to add these test standards to the
  NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards.

III. Proposal To Add New Test Standards to the NRTL Program's List of 
Appropriate Test Standards

    Periodically, OSHA will propose to add new test standards to the 
NRTL list of appropriate test standards following an evaluation of the 
test standard document. To qualify as an appropriate test standard, the 
agency evaluates the document to: (1) verify it represents a product 
category for which OSHA requires certification by a NRTL; (2) verify 
the document represents a product and not a component; and (3) verify 
the document defines safety test specifications (not installation or 
operational performance specifications). OSHA becomes aware of new test 
standards through various avenues. For example, OSHA may become aware 
of new test standards by: (1) monitoring notifications issued by 
certain Standards Development Organizations; (2) reviewing applications 
by NRTLs or applicants seeking recognition to include new test 
standards in their scopes of recognition; and (3) obtaining 
notification from manufacturers, manufacturing organizations, 
government agencies, or other parties. OSHA may determine to include a 
new test standard in the list, for example, if the test standard is for 
a particular type of product that another test standard also covers or 
it covers a type of product that no standard previously covered.

[[Page 9181]]

    In this notice, OSHA proposes to add two new test standards to the 
NRTL Program's list of appropriate test standards. Table 2, below, 
lists the test standards that are new to the NRTL Program. OSHA 
preliminarily determines that these test standards are appropriate test 
standards. OSHA seeks public comment on this preliminary determination.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Preliminary Findings on the Application

    UL submitted an acceptable application for expansion of the scope 
of recognition. OSHA's review of the application files and related 
material preliminarily indicates that UL can meet the requirements 
prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding recognition to include the 
addition of the test standards listed above for NRTL testing and 
certification. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim 
or temporary approval of UL's application.
    OSHA also preliminarily determined that the test standards listed 
above are appropriate test standards.
    OSHA seeks public comment on these preliminary determinations.

V. Public Participation

    OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether UL meets the 
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of recognition as a NRTL 
and whether the test standard listed above is an appropriate test 
standard that should be included in the NRTL Program's List of 
Appropriate Test Standards. 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
