<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 207 / Friday, October 25, 2024 / Notices
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply. For
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Standard on Blasting and the use of
Explosives (29 CFR part 1926, subpart
U) U.S.C. 669). The agency is requesting
an adjustment decrease in the burden
hours amount from 1,602 hours to 1,427
hours, a difference of 175 hours. This
decrease is due to the change in the
number of affected sites due to general
economic growth.

submitted in response to this notice and
will include this summary in the
request to OMB to extend the approval
of the information collection
requirements.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
DEKRA Certification Inc. (DEKRA) as a
NRTL. DEKRA’s expansion covers the
addition of seventeen 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
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 DEKRA, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
DEKRA submitted an application to
OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope
of recognition on December 24, 2021
(OSHA–2019–0009–0007), requesting
the addition of twenty-nine recognized
testing standards. The application was
amended on February 1, 2023 (OSHA–
2019–0009–0008), removing eight
standards from the original request,
while adding an additional standard to
E:\FR\FM\25OCN1.SGM
25OCN1
85244
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 207 / Friday, October 25, 2024 / Notices
the expansion application. The
December 2021 expansion application
was amended a second time on June 21,
2023 (OSHA–2019–0009–0009) to
withdraw three standards from the
December 2021 application. The
December 2021 application was
amended a third time on February 28,
2024 (OSHA–2019–0009–0010), to
withdraw two standards from the
original request. This notice covers the
remaining seventeen standards. OSHA
staff performed a detailed analysis of the
application packets and reviewed other
pertinent information. OSHA performed
an on-site review of DEKRA’s Arnhem,
Netherlands site on June 5–7, 2023, in
which assessors found some
nonconformances with the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7. DEKRA addressed
these issues sufficiently, and OSHA staff
has preliminarily determined that
OSHA should grant the application for
test standard expansion.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing DEKRA’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
September 12, 2024 (89 FR 74294). 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
DEKRA’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–2019–0009
contains all materials in the record
concerning DEKRA’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 DEKRA’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 DEKRA
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 DEKRA’s expanded scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of DEKRA’s recognition to testing and
certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the
test standards listed below in Table 1.

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,
DEKRA must abide by the following
conditions of the recognition:
1. DEKRA 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. DEKRA must meet all the terms of
its recognition and comply with all
OSHA policies pertaining to this
recognition; and
3. DEKRA must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of
Nemko North America, Inc. (NNA) as a
NRTL. NNA’s expansion covers the
addition of one test standard and one
testing site 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 its scope of recognition.
Each NRTL’s scope of recognition

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 an application
by a NRTL for initial recognition and for
an expansion or renewal of this
recognition, following requirements in
Appendix A, 29 CFR 1910.7. This
appendix requires that the agency
publish two notices in the Federal

maintains an informational web page for
each NRTL, including NNA, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at: https://
www.osha.gov/nationally-recognizedtesting-laboratory-program.
NNA submitted two applications to
OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope
of recognition. The first application,
dated September 1, 2023 (OSHA–2013–
0016–0029), requested the expansion of
the NRTL scope of recognition to
include one additional test standard.
The second application, dated
November 27, 2023 (OSHA–2013–0016–
0030), requested the expansion of the
85245
NRTL scope of recognition to include an
additional recognized testing site
located at: 5F, No. 413, Sec. 2, Tiding
Blvd., Nei Hu Dist. 11493 Taipei City,
Taiwan, R.O.C. OSHA staff performed
an on-site review of NNA’s testing
facilities at NNA Taipei on March 4–5,
2024, in which assessors found some
nonconformances with the requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.7. NNA has addressed
these issues sufficiently, and OSHA staff
preliminarily determined that OSHA
should grant the applications.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing NNA’s expansion
applications in the Federal Register on
September 12, 2024 (89 FR 74296). The
agency requested comments by
September 27, 2024, but it received no
comments in response to this notice.
OSHA is now proceeding with this final
decision to grant the expansion of
NNA’s NRTL scope of recognition.
Docket No. OSHA–2013–0016
contains all materials in the record
concerning NNA’s recognition. To
obtain or review copies of all public
documents pertaining to NNA’s
expansion application, go to https://
www.regulations.gov. All submissions,
including copyrighted material, are
available for inspection through the
OSHA Docket Office. Contact the OSHA
Docket Office at (202) 693–2350 for
assistance in locating docket
submissions.
II. Final Decision and Order
OSHA staff examined NNA’s
expansion applications, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test
standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this
evidence, OSHA finds that NNA 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 NNA’s expanded scope of
recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
of NNA’s recognition to the additional
testing site in Taipei City, Taiwan, and
the additional test standard listed below
in Table 1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of DEKRA Certification Inc. (DEKRA) as a NRTL. DEKRA's
expansion covers the addition of seventeen 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 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 DEKRA, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
DEKRA submitted an application to OSHA for expansion of the NRTL
scope of recognition on December 24, 2021 (OSHA-2019-0009-0007),
requesting the addition of twenty-nine recognized testing standards.
The application was amended on February 1, 2023 (OSHA-2019-0009-0008),
removing eight standards from the original request, while adding an
additional standard to
[[Page 85244]]
the expansion application. The December 2021 expansion application was
amended a second time on June 21, 2023 (OSHA-2019-0009-0009) to
withdraw three standards from the December 2021 application. The
December 2021 application was amended a third time on February 28, 2024
(OSHA-2019-0009-0010), to withdraw two standards from the original
request. This notice covers the remaining seventeen standards. OSHA
staff performed a detailed analysis of the application packets and
reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA performed an on-site review
of DEKRA's Arnhem, Netherlands site on June 5-7, 2023, in which
assessors found some nonconformances with the requirements of 29 CFR
1910.7. DEKRA addressed these issues sufficiently, and OSHA staff has
preliminarily determined that OSHA should grant the application for
test standard expansion.
OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing DEKRA's expansion
application in the Federal Register on September 12, 2024 (89 FR
74294). 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 DEKRA'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-2019-0009 contains all materials
in the record concerning DEKRA'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 DEKRA'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
DEKRA 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
DEKRA's expanded scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of
DEKRA's recognition to testing and certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the test standards listed below in
Table 1.

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,
DEKRA must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
1. DEKRA 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. DEKRA must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
