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 one test standard to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards. DATES: The expansion of the scope of recognition becomes effective on August 14, 2024. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information regarding this notice is available from the following sources: Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office of Communications, U.S. Department of Labor; telephone (202) 693–1999 or email meilinger.francis2@dol.gov.

UL’s expansion covers 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 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–2009–0025–0062) to expand the NRTL scope of recognition to include one additional test standard. 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. PO 00000 Frm 00117 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing UL’s expansion application in the Federal Register on May 28, 2024 (89 FR 46164). The agency requested comments by June 12, 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 standard, 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 standard listed below in Table 1. TABLE 1—TEST STANDARD FOR INCLUSION IN UL’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION Test standard UL 3741 * .................. Test standard title Photovoltaic Hazard Control. * Represents the standard 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 one new test standard to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards. Table 2 below lists the standard that is new to the NRTL Program. OSHA has determined that this test standard is an appropriate test standard and will add it to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards. E:\FR\FM\14AUN1.SGM 14AUN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce 
paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation 
program to provide the public and Federal agencies an opportunity to 
comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information before

Statement of Expenditures and Financial Adjustments of Federal Funds 
for Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees and Ex-
Servicemembers report, commonly referred to as the ETA 191 report 
submitted quarterly by each SWA shows the amount of benefits that 
should be charged to each Federal employing agency. The Office of 
Unemployment Insurance uses this information to aggregate the SWA 
quarterly charges and submit one official bill to each Federal agency 
being charged. Federal agencies then reimburse the Federal Employees 
Compensation Account maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. 
The Social Security Act, Section 303(a)(6), and 5 U.S.C. 8506(b) 
authorizes this information collection.
    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 it is approved by OMB under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6.
    Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the 
contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to

burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
