(f) A competent person, as defined in 30 CFR 57.2, shall continuously monitor for methane immediately before and during the use of the Dräger X-plore 8700 EX in or beyond the last open crosscut or in areas where methane may enter the air current. For a crew working together, at least one competent person shall continuously monitor for methane. Alternatively, continuous monitoring systems along longwall faces, which provide an audible and visual alarm when 1.0 percent methane is detected, shall satisfy this requirement. (g) Batteries contained in the Dräger X-plore 8700 EX must be ‘‘changed out’’ or ‘‘charged’’ in intake air. Before each shift when the Dräger X-plore 8700 EX is to be used, all batteries for the equipment must be charged sufficiently such that they are not expected to be replaced on that shift. (h) The Dräger LBT 04 LI–ION shall be charged on the surface or underground in accordance with 30 CFR 57.22224. (i) The Dräger LBT 04 LI–ION shall be charged only by the Dräger X-plore 8000 EX standard charger or the Dräger Xplore 8000 multiple charger. (j) The battery pack shall not be disassembled or modified by anyone other than permitted by the manufacturer of the equipment. (k) The battery pack shall not be exposed to water or allowed to get wet. This does not preclude incidental exposure of sealed battery packs. (l) The battery shall not be exposed to direct sunlight or used or stored near a source of heat. (m) The battery shall not be used at the end of its life cycle (e.g., when there is a performance decrease of greater than 20 percent in battery operated equipment). The battery shall be disposed of properly. (n) The mine operator shall investigate the potential for electromagnetic interference between the Dräger X-plore 8700 EX and all safety devices carried or worn by miners, such as proximity detection system miner wearable components, gas detectors, tracking system components, and communication devices. Before any Dräger X-plore 8700 EX devices are placed into service, the mine operator shall report to their MSHA District whether any interference is identified along with the procedures the mine operator will implement to eliminate the interference. All miners shall be trained in these procedures. (o) Personnel engaged in the use of Dräger X-plore 8700 EX shall be properly trained to recognize the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:22 Nov 05, 2024 Jkt 265001 hazards and limitations associated with the use of the PAPR in areas where methane could be present. (p) All section foremen, section crew members, and other personnel who will be involved with or affected by the use of the PAPR shall receive training in accordance with 30 CFR 48.7 on the requirements of the PDO granted by MSHA within 60 days of the date the PDO granted by MSHA becomes final. Such training must be completed before any Dräger X-plore 8700 EX is used in or beyond the last open crosscut or in areas where methane may enter the air current. (q) Within 60 days after the PDO granted by MSHA becomes final, the operator shall submit proposed revisions for its approved 30 CFR part 48 training plan to the Mine Safety and Health District Manager. These proposed revisions shall include donning a Self-Contained Self Rescuer (SCSR) while using the PAPR, and initial and refresher training regarding the terms and conditions stated in the PDO granted by MSHA. When training is conducted on the terms and conditions in the PDO granted by MSHA, an MSHA Certificate of Training (Form 5000–23) shall be completed and include the notation ‘‘Dräger X-plore 8700 EX PAPR training’’. (r) The operator shall post the PDO granted by MSHA in unobstructed locations on the bulletin boards and/or in other conspicuous places where notices to miners are ordinarily posted, for a period of not less than 60 consecutive days. (s) Affected mine employees shall be trained in the proper use and care of the Dräger X-plore 8700 EX unit in accordance with established manufacturer guidelines. (t) If 1.0 percent or more methane is detected, the procedures in 30 CFR 7.22234 shall be followed. (u) The miners at American Soda LLC mine are not represented by a labor organization and there are no designated representatives of miners. A copy of this petition has been posted for all miners to see on the mine bulletin board on August 22, 2024. In support of the proposed alternative method, the petitioner has also submitted: a Dräger X-plore 8700 EX Certificate of Conformity, a Dräger Xplore 8700 EX ATEX Certificate, a battery pack operating manual, and a Dräger X-plore 8700 EX data sheet. The petitioner asserts that that application of the standard in 30 CFR 57.22305 will reduce the safety of the PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 miners affected and has proposed to establish an alternative method.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of the Application for Expansion

    OSHA is providing notice that Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. 
(ITSNA), is applying for expansion of the current recognition as a 
NRTL. ITSNA 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 
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 ITSNA, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These 
pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/.
    ITSNA currently has thirty-five facilities (sites) recognized by 
OSHA for product testing and certification, with the headquarters 
located at: Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc., 545 East Algonquin 
Road, Suite F, Arlington Heights, Illinois 60005. A complete list of 
ITSNA's scope of recognition is available at https://www.osha.gov/nationally-recognized-testing-laboratory-program/its.

II. General Background on the Application

    ITSNA submitted an application dated June 24, 2024 (OSHA-2007-0039-
0058), requesting the addition of two test 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 any on-site reviews in relation to this application.
    Table 1, below, lists the appropriate test standards found in 
ITSNA's application for expansion for testing and certification of 
products under the NRTL Program.

III. Preliminary Findings on the Application

    ITSNA submitted an acceptable application for expansion of the 
scope of recognition. OSHA's review of the application file and 
pertinent documentation indicates that ITSNA can meet the requirements 
prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding the recognition to include 
the addition of these two test standards for NRTL testing and 
certification listed in Table 1. This preliminary finding does not 
constitute an interim or temporary approval of ITSNA's application.
    OSHA seeks comment on this preliminary determination.

IV. Public Participation

    OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether ITSNA meets the 
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of recognition as a NRTL. 
Comments should consist of pertinent written documents and exhibits.
    Commenters needing more time to comment must submit a request in 
writing, stating the reasons for the request by the due date for 
comments. OSHA will limit any extension to 10 days unless the requester
