I. Background
The Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651,
656) established NACOSH to advise,
consult with and make
recommendations to the Acting
Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of
Health and Human Services (HHS) on
matters relating to the administration of
the OSH Act. NACOSH is a continuing
advisory committee of indefinite
duration.
NACOSH operates in accordance with
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) (5 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.),
implementing regulations (41 CFR part
102–3), the OSH Act, and OSHA’s
regulations on NACOSH (29 CFR part
1912a).
NACOSH is comprised of 12
members: four public representatives,
two management representatives, two
labor representatives, two occupational
safety professional representatives, and
two occupational health professional
representatives (29 CFR 1912a.2). The
Acting Secretary of Labor appoints all of
these members. However, the Secretary
of HHS designates four representatives:
two of the four public representatives
and two occupational health
professional representatives. NACOSH
members serve staggered two-year
terms, unless the member becomes
unable to serve, resigns, ceases to be
qualified to serve, or is removed by the
Acting Secretary.
On July 17, 2024, OSHA published a
request for nominations for four
NACOSH positions that will expire on
January 16, 2025 (89 FR 58193).
Specifically, OSHA requested
nominations for:
• One (1) public representative;
• One (1) management representative;
• One (1) labor representative; and

professional representative.

qualified individuals in response to the
agency’s request for nominations (89 FR

I. Notice of the Application for
Expansion
OSHA is providing notice that CSA
Group Testing & Certification Inc.
(CSA), is applying for expansion of the
current recognition as a NRTL. CSA
requests the addition of one test
standard 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 CSA, which
details the NRTL’s scope of recognition.
These pages are available from the
OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/
dts/otpca/nrtl/.
II. General Background on the
Application
CSA submitted an application to
OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope
of recognition on May 30, 2024 (OSHA–
2006–0042–0045), requesting the
addition of one standard 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 in response to
this application. OSHA staff has
preliminarily determined that OSHA
