SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
information collection includes data
validation for the Senior Community
Service Employment Program (SCSEP),
and a streamlined quarterly narrative
report template to support the (1)
reporting, (2) recordkeeping, and (3)
program evaluation requirements for the
following grant programs: National
Dislocated Worker Grants (DWG), H–1B
grant programs (started July 1, 2016 or
later), National Farmworker Jobs
Program (NFJP), Reentry Employment
Opportunities (REO) youth and adult
grant programs, SCSEP, and YouthBuild
(YB). This information collection does
not increase the burden on grantees.
SCSEP data validation assesses the
accuracy of data collected and reported
to ETA on program activities and
outcomes. The accuracy and reliability
of program reports submitted by states
and grantees using federal funds are
fundamental elements of good public
administration and are necessary tools
for maintaining and demonstrating
system integrity. The data validation
requirement for employment and
training programs strengthens the
workforce system by ensuring that
accurate and reliable information on
program activities and outcomes is
available. The WIOA Joint Quarterly
Narrative Performance Report provides
a detailed account of program activities,
accomplishments, and progress toward
performance outcomes during the
quarter. It also provides information on
grant challenges and timeline progress,
as well as the opportunity to share
success stories. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on December 8, 2023
(88 FR 85655).
Comments are invited on: (1) whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information collection; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of the

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 the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977
(Mine Act) Public Law 95–164, as
amended, recognizes that education and
training is an important element of
Federal efforts to make the nation’s
mines safe. Section 115(a) of the Mine
Act states that ‘‘each operator of a coal
or other mine shall have a health and
safety training program which shall be
approved by the Secretary.’’ 30 CFR 48.3
and 48.23 require training plans for
underground and surface mines,
respectively. Training plans are required
to be submitted for approval to the
MSHA District Manager for the area in
which the mine is located. These
standards are intended to ensure that
miners will be effectively trained in
matters affecting their health and safety,
with the goal of reducing the occurrence
of injury and illness in the nation’s
mines. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the

UL LLC: Grant of Expansion of
Recognition and Modification to the
NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate
Test Standards
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In this notice, OSHA
announces the final decision to expand
the scope of recognition for UL LLC, as
a Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL). Additionally, OSHA
announces the final decision to add two
test standards to the NRTL Program’s
List of Appropriate Test Standards.
DATES: The expansion of the scope of
recognition becomes effective on April
16, 2024.

email robinson.kevin@dol.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
UL LLC, (UL) as a NRTL. UL’s
expansion covers 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 submitted an application, dated
July 26, 2022 (OSHA–2009–0025–0059)
to expand the NRTL scope of
recognition to include three additional
test standards. OSHA staff performed a
detailed analysis of the application
packet and other pertinent information.
