Download as PDF 26940 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 74 / Tuesday, April 16, 2024 / Notices OSHA did not perform any on-site reviews in relation to these applications. OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing UL’s expansion application in the Federal Register on February 9, 2024 (89 FR 9179). The agency requested comments by February 26, 2024, but it received no comments in response to this notice. To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to the UL application, go to https:// www.regulations.gov or contact the Docket Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Docket No. OSHA–2009–0025 contains all materials in the record concerning UL’s recognition. Contact the OSHA Docket Office at (202) 693– 2350 (TTY (877) 889–5627) for assistance in locating docket submissions. II. Final Decision and Order OSHA staff examined UL’s expansion application, its capability to meet the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that UL meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, subject to the limitations and conditions listed in this notice. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant UL’s expanded scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of UL’s recognition to testing and certification of products for demonstration of conformance to the test standards listed below in Table 1. TABLE 1—TEST STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN UL’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION Test standard UL 6420 ..................... UL 6200 * ................... UL 62091 * ................. Test standard title Equipment Use for System Isolation and Rated as a Single Unit. Controllers for Use in Power Production. Low-Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear—Controllers for Drivers of Stationary Fire Pump. * Represents the standards that OSHA will add to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards. In this notice, OSHA also announces the final decision to add two new test standards to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards. Table 2 below lists the standards that are new to the NRTL Program. OSHA has determined that these test standards are appropriate test standards and will add them to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards. TABLE 2—STANDARDS OSHA WILL ADD TO THE NRTL PROGRAM’S LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS Test standard UL 6200 ..................... UL 62091 ................... Test standard title Controllers for Use in Power Production. Low-Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear—Controllers for Drivers of Stationary Fire Pump. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the test standards listed above as American National Standards. However, for convenience, we may use the designation of the standards-developing organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under the NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 01–00–004, Chapter 2, Section VIII), any NRTL recognized for a particular test standard may use either the proprietary version of the test standard or the ANSI version of that standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a test standard is currently ANSI-approved. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES A. Conditions In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, UL must abide by the following conditions of the recognition: 1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:09 Apr 15, 2024 Jkt 262001 I. Notice of the Applications for Expansion OSHA is providing notice that TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc. (TUVRNA), is applying for an expansion of current recognition as a NRTL. TUVRNA requests the addition of two 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, 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 TUVRNA, which details that NRTL’s scope of recognition. These pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/ otpca/nrtl/. TUVRNA currently has ten facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA for product testing and certification, with the headquarters located at: TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc., 295 Foster Street, Suite 100, Littleton, Massachusetts 01460.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of the Applications for Expansion

    OSHA is providing notice that TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc. 
(TUVRNA), is applying for an expansion of current recognition as a 
NRTL. TUVRNA requests the addition of two 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 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 TUVRNA, which details that NRTL's scope of recognition. These 
pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
    TUVRNA currently has ten facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA for 
product testing and certification, with the headquarters located at: 
TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc., 295 Foster Street, Suite 100, 
Littleton, Massachusetts 01460. A complete list of TUVRNA sites 
recognized by OSHA is available at https://www.osha.gov/nationally-recognized-testing-laboratory-program/tuv.
