SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that CurtisStraus LLC (CSL), is applying for 

expansion of recognition as a NRTL. 

CSL requests the addition of one test 

standard 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 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 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 CSL, which 

details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

OSHA website at http://www.osha.gov/ 

dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

CSL currently has one facility (site) 

recognized by OSHA for product testing 

and certification, with headquarters 

located at: Curtis-Straus LLC, One 

Distribution Circle, Suite #1, Littleton, 

MA 01460. A complete list of CSL’s 

scope of recognition is available at 

https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ 

csl.html. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

CSL submitted an application, dated 

January 2, 2018 (OSHA–2009–0026– 

0079), to expand recognition to include 

one additional test standard. OSHA staff 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
66312 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 246 / Wednesday, December 26, 2018 / Notices 

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 lists the appropriate test 

standard found in CSL’s application to 

expand for testing and certification of 

products under the NRTL Program. 

TABLE 1—PROPOSED LIST APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARD FOR INCLUSION IN CSL’S NRTL SCOPE OF

RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 962 ........... Household and Commercial 

Furnishings. 

III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

CSL submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application file, and pertinent 

documentation, indicates CSL can meet 

the requirements prescribed by 29 CFR 

1910.7 for expanding recognition to 

include the addition of this one test 

standard for NRTL testing and 

certification listed above. This 

preliminary finding does not constitute 

an interim or temporary approval of 

CSL’s application. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether CSL 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. Commenters 

must submit the written request for an 

extension by the due date for comments. 

OSHA will limit any extension to 10 

days unless the requester justifies a 

longer period. OSHA may deny a 

request for an extension if the request is 

not adequately justified. To obtain or 

review copies of the exhibits identified 

in this notice, as well as comments 

submitted to the docket, contact the 

Docket Office, Room N–2625, 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Labor, at the above address. These 

materials also are available online at 

http://www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. OSHA–2009–0026. 

OSHA staff will review all comments 

to the docket submitted in a timely 

manner. After addressing the issues 

raised by these comments, the agency 

will make a recommendation to the 

Assistant Secretary for Occupational 

Safety and Health whether to grant 

CSL’s application for expansion of the 

scope of recognition. The Assistant 

Secretary will make the final decision 

on granting the application. In making 

this decision, the Assistant Secretary 

may undertake other proceedings 

prescribed in Appendix A to 29 CFR 

1910.7. 

OSHA will publish a public notice of 

its final decision in the Federal 

Register.
