Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 249 / Monday, December 30, 2024 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 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 QPS which details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. These pages are available from the OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/ dts/otpca/nrtl/. QPS submitted an application to OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope of recognition on February 13, 2024 (OSHA–2010–0046–0021), requesting the addition of five 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 published the preliminary notice announcing QPS’s expansion application in the Federal Register on November 7, 2024 (89 FR 88306). The agency requested comments by November 22, 2024, however no comments were received in response to this notice. To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to the QPS’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–2010–0046 contains all materials in the record concerning QPS’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 QPS’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 QPS 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 QPS’s application for an expansion of the scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of QPS’s VerDate Sep<11>2014 23:58 Dec 27, 2024 Jkt 265001 106603 recognition to testing and certification of products for demonstration of conformance to the test standards listed below in table 1. QPS’s scope of recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition. Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope of recognition of QPS as a NRTL, subject TABLE 1—APPROPRIATE TEST STAND- to the limitations and conditions ARDS FOR INCLUSION IN QPS’S specified above. NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION Test Standard Test standard title UL 22 ............ UL 751 .......... UL 1012 ........ UL 891 .......... ASME A17.5 1 Amusement and Gaming Machines. Vending Machines. Power Units Other Than Class 2. Standard for Switchboards. Elevator and Escalator Electrical 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, QPS must abide by the following conditions of the recognition: 1. QPS 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. QPS must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and 3. QPS must continue to meet the requirements for recognition, including all previously published conditions on 1 The preliminary notice announcing QPS’s expansion application contained a typographical error. The designation of the Elevator and Escalator Electrical Equipment test standard was incorrectly listed as ASME 17.5. See 89 FR 88307. OSHA corrects this typographical error in this Notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Notice of the Application 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 one test site to the NRTL scope of recognition. OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies that the organization meets the VerDate Sep<11>2014 23:58 Dec 27, 2024 Jkt 265001 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.

Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Abstract: Sections 106 and 202 of the Federal Credit Union Act require federally insured credit unions to submit financial reports to the NCUA. Section 741.5 of the NCUA regulations describes the method federally insured credit unions must use to submit this information to NCUA. Specifically, credit unions use NCUA Form 5300, Call Report to file quarterly financial and statistical data through NCUA’s online portal, CUOnline. This financial and statistical information is essential to NCUA’s supervision of federal credit unions and the data gathered through the Form 5300, Call Report facilitates NCUA’s monitoring of other credit unions with share accounts insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (Share Insurance Fund). Form 5300 Credit Union Call Report— Proposed Changes and Comments Received In the September 16, 2024, notice, the NCUA proposed revisions to the Form 5300, Call Report including revisions to Schedule A, Section 4; Schedule C, Section 4; Schedule D, Section 2; and Schedule D, Section 3.1 The comment period for the September 2024 notice ended on November 15, 2024. The NCUA received 20 comment letters, 2 of which did not apply to the actual information collection. 1 89 PO 00000 FR 75590 (September 16, 2024). Frm 00200 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 106605 Schedule A, Section 4 The NCUA proposed two additional accounts for credit unions to report the year-to-date number and amount of loans granted to credit union officials and senior executive staff. Four commenters objected to reporting the year-to-date number and amount of loans granted to credit union officials and senior executive staff because the information is included in the Items Needed List for an examination. These commenters did not see the benefit of providing this information quarterly. After considering these comments, the NCUA will not proceed with the proposed changes. The NCUA proposed to remove two accounts for credit unions to report information related to Purchased Credit Impaired Loans. No comments were received related to removing these accounts. Schedule C, Section 4 The NCUA proposed to remove three accounts where credit unions previously reported information related to FRB Paycheck Protection Program Lending Facility loans. No comments were received related to removing these accounts. The NCUA also proposed to add an account for credit unions to report assets pledged to secure deposits, other funding arrangements, and other counterparty requirements. No comments were received related to adding this account. Schedule D, Section 2 The NCUA proposed adding or changing accounts on Schedule D, Section 2 as noted in the September 16, 2024, Federal Register Notice. One commenter objected to adding the accounts related to non-member term deposits because this information is already reported in the same section. Reporting these deposits in Items 15 and 16 assists the NCUA in monitoring compliance with NCUA regulations § 701.32(b). The NCUA will proceed with the proposed change. Schedule D, Section 3 The NCUA proposed adding three accounts for credit unions to report the maturity distribution of total uninsured shares and deposits. Ten commenters indicated that the instructions needed more detail to enable credit unions to determine how to report the maturity distribution. The NCUA revised the proposed instructions for Schedule D, Section 3. The proposed instruction changes indicate credit unions should assume the longest maturity term shares are insured first.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of the Application 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 one test site 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.

II. General Background on the Application

    TUVRNA submitted an application, dated November 16, 2020 (OSHA-

additional testing site located at: TUV Rheinland Taiwan Ltd. Taoyuan 
Testing Laboratories, 4F-1. No. 38, Huaya 1st Road Guishan District, 
Taoyuan City 333, Taiwan, R.O.C. OSHA staff performed a detailed 
analysis of the application packet and reviewed other pertinent 
information. OSHA performed an on-site review of TUVRNA's Taoyuan 
facility on May 1-6, 2024, in which assessors found some 
nonconformances with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. TUVRNA has 
addressed these issues sufficiently, and OSHA staff has preliminarily 
determined that OSHA should grant the application.

III. Preliminary Finding on the Application

    TUVRNA submitted an acceptable application for expansion of the 
scope of recognition. OSHA's review of the application files and 
pertinent documentation preliminarily indicates that TUVRNA can meet 
the requirements prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its 
recognition to include one additional test site for NRTL testing and 
certification. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim 
or temporary approval of TUVRNA's application.
    OSHA seeks public comment on this preliminary determination.

IV. Public Participation

    OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether TUVRNA 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
