[Docket No. OSHA–2013–0012] 
Modification to the List of Appropriate NRTL Program Test Standards 
AGENCY : Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration (OSHA), Labor. 
ACTION : Notice. 
SUMMARY : In this notice, OSHA 
announces the final decision to add a new test standard to the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTL) Program’s list of appropriate test standards. DATES : The actions contained in this 
notice will become effective on July 25, 2019. 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : 
Information regarding this notice is available from the following sources: 
Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank 
Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office of Communications; telephone: (202) 693– 1999; email: meilinger.francis2@dol.gov. 
General and technical information: 
Contact Mr. Kevin Robinson, Director, Office of Technical Programs and Coordination Activities, Directorate of Technical Support and Emergency Management, Occupational Safety and Health Administration; telephone: (202) 693–2110 or email: robinson.kevin@dol.gov. OSHA’s website includes 
information about the NRTL Program (see http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/ 
nrtl/index.html). 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Background 
The NRTL Program recognizes 
organizations that provide product- safety testing and certification services to manufacturers. These organizations perform testing and certification for purposes of the program, to U.S. consensus-based product-safety test standards. The products covered by the NRTL Program consist of those items for which OSHA safety standards require ‘‘certification’’ by a NRTL. The requirements affect electrical products and 38 other types of products. OSHA does not develop or issue these test standards, but generally relies on standards development organizations (SDOs), which develop and maintain the standards using a method that provides input and consideration of views of industry groups, experts, users, consumers, governmental authorities and others having broad experience in the safety field involved. 
Addition of New Test Standards to the 
NRTL Program List of Appropriate Test Standards 
Periodically, OSHA will add new test 
standards to the NRTL list of appropriate test standards following an evaluation of the test standard document. To qualify as an appropriate test standard, the agency evaluates the document to (1) verify it represents a product category for which OSHA requires certification by a NRTL, (2) verify the document represents an end product and not a component, and (3) verify the document defines safety test specifications (not installation or operational performance specifications). OSHA becomes aware of new test standards through various avenues. For example, OSHA may become aware of 
new test standards by: (1) Monitoring notifications issued by certain SDOs; (2) reviewing applications by NRTLs or applicants seeking recognition to include a new test standard in their scopes of recognition; and (3) obtaining notification from manufacturers, manufacturing organizations, government agencies, or other parties that a new test standard may be appropriate to add to the list of appropriate standards. OSHA may determine to include a new test standard in the list, for example, if the test standard is for a particular type of product that another test standard also covers, addresses a type of product that no standard previously covered, or is otherwise new to the NRTL Program. 
Proposed Modification to the NRTL 
Program List of Appropriate NRTL Program Test Standards 
In a March 14, 2019, Federal Register 
notice (84 FR 9384, referred to in this notice as ‘‘Proposed Modification,’’ and available at www.regulations.gov under 
Docket ID OSHA–2013–0012–0019), OSHA proposed adding one standard to the NRTL Program List of Appropriate Test Standards. OSHA received one comment on this proposed action (available at www.regulations.gov under 
Docket IDs OSHA–2013–0012–0022). OSHA fully considered this comment and determined that no action was necessary. 
II. Final Decision To Add a New Test 
Standard to the NRTL Program List of Appropriate Test Standards 
In this notice, OSHA announces the 
final decision to add one new test standard, to the NRTL Program List of Appropriate Test Standards, as described in Table 1: 
TABLE 1—T ESTSTANDARDS OSHA 
DECIDED TOADD TO THE NRTL 
PROGRAM LIST OF APPROPRIATE  
TESTSTANDARDS

ANSI/CPLSO 14–2016 ... Crane Insulators. 
OSHA will add this test standard to 
the ‘‘Appropriate Test Standards’’ web page on OSHA’s website. Access to this web page is available at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ index.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Background 
The Department of Labor, as part of a 
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–95) (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 (the 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 extent possible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining information (29 
U.S.C. 657). 
The collection of information 
contained in the Walking and Working Surfaces Standard for General Industry is necessary to protect workers from slip, trip, and fall hazards; increases compliance flexibility for employers; incorporates advances in industry best practices, national consensus standards, and technology since OSHA adopted the standard in 1971; and provides greater consistency between subpart D and construction standards. The following describes the information collection requirements in subpart D. 
Paragraph 1910.23(b)(10) requires that 
the employer ensure that any ladder with structural or other defects be immediately tagged with ‘‘Dangerous: Do Not Use’’ or with similar language in accordance with § 1910.145 and removed from service until ‘‘repaired . . . or replaced.’’ The information will alert employers and workers that the ladder is not safe and must not be used. 
Paragraph 1910.27(b)(1)(i) requires 
that before any rope descent system is used, the building owner inform the employer in writing that the building owner has identified, tested, certified, and maintained each anchorage so it is capable of supporting at least 5,000 pounds (268 kg), in any direction for each employee attached. The information must be based on an annual inspection by a qualified person and certification of each anchorage by a qualified person, as necessary, and at least every 10 years. The information will assure employers and workers that the building owner has inspected, tested and certified the anchorage, which the employer may not own or have any control over, as safe to use. Paragraph 1910.27(b)(1)(ii) requires that the employer ensure that no employee uses any anchorage before the employer has obtained written information from the building owner indicating that each anchorage meets the requirements of § 1910.27(b)(1)(i). The employer must 
keep the information for the duration of the job. The information will assure employers and workers that the anchorage, which the employer may not own or have any control over, is safe to use. 
Paragraph 1910.28(b)(1)(ii) that 
requires when the employer can demonstrate that it is not feasible or creates a greater hazard to use guardrail, safety net, or personal fall protection systems on residential roofs, the employer must develop and implement a fall protection plan that meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1926.502(k) and training that meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1926.503(a) and (c).
