SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
Bureau Veritas Consumer Product
Services Inc. (BVCPS) as a NRTL.
BVCPS’s expansion covers the addition
of seven test standards to the NRTL
scope of recognition.
OSHA’s 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
E:\FR\FM\25OCN1.SGM
25OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 207 / Friday, October 25, 2024 / Notices
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 BVCPS which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
BVCPS submitted an application to
OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope
of recognition on November 2, 2023
(OSHA–2009–0026–0089), requesting
the addition of seven standards to the
NRTL scope of recognition. OSHA staff
performed a detailed analysis of the
application packet and reviewed other
pertinent information. OSHA did not
perform an on-site review related to this
application. OSHA staff has
preliminarily determined that OSHA
should grant the application for test
standard expansion.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing BVCPS’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
September 12, 2024 (89 FR 74300). The
agency requested comments by
September 27, 2024, but it received no
comments in response to this notice.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to the
BVCPS’s application, go to https://
www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
85241
of Labor. Docket No. OSHA–2009–0026
contains all materials in the record
concerning BVCPS’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 BVCPS’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 BVCPS
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 BVCPS’s application for an
expansion of the scope of recognition.
OSHA limits the expansion of BVCPS’s
recognition to testing and certification
of products for demonstration of
conformance to the test standards listed
below in Table 1.

Reference Standard for Service Equipment.
OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for
a particular test standard is limited to
equipment or materials for which OSHA
standards require third-party testing and
certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test
standard also covers any products for
which OSHA does not require such
testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope
of recognition does not include these
products.
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 1–0.3, Appendix C,
paragraph XIV), 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.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions
already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
BVCPS must abide by the following
conditions of the recognition:
1. BVCPS must inform OSHA as soon
as possible, in writing, of any change of
ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major change in its
operations as a NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. BVCPS must meet all the terms of
its recognition and comply with all
OSHA policies pertaining to this
recognition; and
3. BVCPS must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:40 Oct 24, 2024
Jkt 265001
The Department of Labor, as part of
the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e.,
employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to
provide the public with an opportunity
to comment on proposed and
continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.)
authorizes information collection by
employers as necessary or appropriate
for enforcement of the OSH Act or for
developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29
U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
that OSHA obtain such information
with minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of effort in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The Standard on Blasting and the
Use of Explosives (29 CFR part 1926,
subpart U) specifies a number of
paperwork requirements. The following
is a brief description of the collection of
information requirements contained in
the Subpart.
General Provisions (§ 1926.900)
§ 1926.900(d)—Paragraph (d) states
that employers must ensure that
explosives not in use are kept in a
locked magazine, unavailable to persons
not authorized to handle explosives.
The employers must maintain an
inventory and use record of all
explosives—in use and not in use. In
PO 00000
Frm 00107
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
addition, the employer must notify the
appropriate authorities in the event of
any loss, theft, or unauthorized entry
into a magazine.
§ 1926.900(k)(3)(i)—Paragraph (k)(3)(i)
requires employers to display adequate
signs warning against the use of mobile
radio transmitters on all roads within
1,000 feet of blasting operations to
prevent the accidental discharge of
electric blasting caps caused by current
induced by radar, radio transmitters,
lighting, adjacent power lines, dust
storms, or other sources of extraneous
electricity. The employer must certify
and maintain a record of alternative
provisions made to adequately prevent
any premature firing of electric blasting
caps.
§ 1926.900(o)—Employers must notify
the operators and/or owners of overhead
power lines, communication lines,
utility lines, or other services and
structures when blasting operations will
take place in proximity to those lines,
services, or structures.
§ 1926.903(d)—The employer must
notify the hoist operator prior to
transporting explosives or blasting
agents in a shaft conveyance.
§ 1926.903(e)—Employers must
perform weekly inspections on the
electrical system of trucks used for
underground transportation of
explosives. The weekly inspection is to
detect any failure in the system which
would constitute an electrical hazard.
The most recent certification of
inspection must be maintained and
must include the date of inspection, a
serial number or other identifier of the
truck inspected, and the signature of the
person who performed the inspection.
§ 1926.905(t)—The employer blaster
must maintain an accurate and up-todate record of explosives, blasting
agents, and blasting supplies used in a
blast. The employer must also maintain
an accurate running inventory of all
explosives and blasting agents stored on
the operation.
§ 1926.909(a)—Employers must post a
code of blasting agents on one or more
conspicuous places at the operation. All
employees also shall familiarize
themselves with the code and conform
to it at all times. Danger signs warning
of blasting agents shall also be placed at
suitable locations.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of Bureau Veritas Consumer Product Services Inc. (BVCPS) as
a NRTL. BVCPS's expansion covers the addition of seven test standards
to the NRTL scope of recognition.
OSHA's 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
[[Page 85241]]
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 BVCPS which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
BVCPS submitted an application to OSHA for expansion of the NRTL
scope of recognition on November 2, 2023 (OSHA-2009-0026-0089),
requesting the addition of seven standards to the NRTL scope of
recognition. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the
application packet and reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA did
not perform an on-site review related to this application. OSHA staff
has preliminarily determined that OSHA should grant the application for
test standard expansion.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing BVCPS's expansion
application in the Federal Register on September 12, 2024 (89 FR
74300). The agency requested comments by September 27, 2024, but it
received no comments in response to this notice.
To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to
the BVCPS's 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-2009-0026 contains all materials
in the record concerning BVCPS'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 BVCPS'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
BVCPS 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
BVCPS's application for an expansion of the scope of recognition. OSHA
limits the expansion of BVCPS's recognition to testing and
certification of products for demonstration of conformance to the test
standards listed below in Table 1.

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.
A. Conditions
In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
BVCPS must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. BVCPS must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in its operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
2. BVCPS must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
3. BVCPS must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on BVCPS's scope of
