Protection and Affordable Care Act 

(Affordable Care Act) that are discussed 

below. A copy of the information 

collection requests (ICRs) may be 

obtained by contacting the office listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. 

ICRs also are available at reginfo.gov 

(http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain). 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office shown in the 

ADDRESSES section on or before 

February 8, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice requests public comment on the 

Department’s request for extension of 

the Office of Management and Budget’s 

(OMB) approval of the information 

collection requests (ICRs) contained in 

the rule described below that relates to 

the Affordable Care Act. OMB approved 

the ICR under the emergency 

procedures for review and clearance in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 

44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) and 5 CFR 

1320.13. The Department is not 

proposing any changes to the existing 

ICRs at this time. An agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, an information 

collection unless it displays a valid 

OMB control number. A summary of the 

ICRs and the current burden estimates 

follows: 

Agency: Employee Benefits Security 

Administration, Department of Labor. 

Title: Affordable Care Act Internal 

Claims and Appeals and External 

Review Procedures for Nongrandfathered Plans. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection of information. 

OMB Number: 1210–0144. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit; 

Not-for-profit institutions. 

Respondents: 606,709. 

Responses: 61,803. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 263. 

Estimated Total Burden Cost 

(Operating and Maintenance): $242,828. 

Description: The Affordable Care Act 

added Public Health Service Act (PHS 

Act) section 2719, which provides rules 

relating to internal claims and appeals 

and external review processes. On 

July 23, 2010, interim final regulations 

were issued implementing PHS Act 

section 2719 for internal claims and 

appeals and external review processes.1

With respect to internal claims and 

appeals processes for group health 

coverage, PHS Act section 2719 and 

paragraph (b)(2)(i) of the interim final 

regulations provide that group health 

plans and health insurance issuers 

offering group health insurance 

coverage must comply with the internal 

claims and appeals processes set forth 

in 29 CFR 2560.503–1 (the DOL claims 

procedure regulation) and update such 

processes in accordance with standards 

established by the Secretary of Labor in 

paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of the regulations. 

PHS Act section 2719 and the interim 

final regulations also provide that group 

health plans and issuers offering group 

health insurance coverage must comply 

either with a State external review 

process or a Federal review process. The 

regulations provide a basis for 

determining when plans and issuers 

must comply with an applicable State 

external review process and when they 

must comply with the Federal external 

review process. 

The claims procedure regulation 

imposes information collection requests 

(ICRs) as part of the reasonable 

procedures that an employee benefit 

plan must establish regarding the 

handling of a benefit claim. These 

requirements include third-party notice 

and disclosure requirements that the 

plan must satisfy by providing 

information to participants and 

beneficiaries of the plan. The ICR 

currently is scheduled to expire on 

February 28, 2011. 

Focus of Comments 

The Department of Labor 

(Department) is particularly interested 

in comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the collections of 

information are necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the collections of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collections of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., by permitting electronic 

submissions of responses. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the ICRs for OMB approval 

of the extension of the information 

collection; they will also become a 

matter of public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Notice of Final Decision 

The Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA) hereby gives 

notice that it is expanding recognition of 

Underwriters Laboratories Inc., (UL) as 

an NRTL. UL’s expansion covers the use 

of additional test standards. OSHA’s 

current scope of recognition for UL is in 

the following informational Web page: 

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

ul.html. 

OSHA recognition of an NRTL 

signifies that the organization meets the 

legal 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 its scope of recognition, 

and is not a delegation or grant of 

government authority. As a result of 

recognition, employers may use 

products approved by the NRTL to meet 

OSHA standards that require product 

testing and certification. 

The Agency processes applications by 

an NRTL for initial recognition, or for 

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 such an 

application. In the first notice, OSHA 

announces the application and provides 

its preliminary finding and, in the 

second notice, the Agency provides its 

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 

that details its scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the Web 

site at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/ 

nrtl/index.html. Each NRTL’s scope of 

recognition has three elements: (1) The 

type of products the NRTL may test, 

with each type specified by its 

applicable test standard; (2) the 

recognized site(s) that has/have the 

technical capability to perform the 

testing and certification activities for 

test standards within the NRTL’s scope; 

and (3) the supplemental program(s) 

that the NRTL may use, each of which 

allows the NRTL to rely on other parties 

to perform activities necessary for 

product testing and certification. 

UL submitted an application, dated 

February 20, 2008, as an amendment to 

its application for renewal of 

recognition. (Ex. 2–UL expansion 

application dated 2/20/2008.) This 

amendment requested an expansion of 

recognition to add 98 standards 1 to UL’s 

scope, and to delete several test 

standards from its scope. The NRTL 

Program staff determined that 49 of the 

requested standards are ‘‘appropriate 

test standards’’ within the meaning of 29 

CFR 1910.7(c). UL later modified its 

request to reduce the number of the 

appropriate standards to 35. (Ex. 3–UL 

amended expansion application dated 

2/16/2010.) 

In connection with this request, NRTL 

Program staff did not perform any onsite review of UL’s recognized sites. The 

staff only performed a comparability 

analysis,2 and recommended expansion 

of UL’s recognition to include the 35 

test standards. The Agency published a 

preliminary notice announcing the 

expansion application in the Federal 

Register on April 26, 2010 (79 FR 

21664). OSHA requested comments on 

the notice by May 11, 2010; OSHA 

received no comments in response to 

this notice. OSHA now is proceeding 

with this final notice to grant UL’s 

expansion application. 

All public documents pertaining to 

the UL application are available for 

review by contacting the Docket Office, 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Room N–2625, Washington, DC 20210. 

These materials also are available online 

at http://www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. OSHA–2009–0025. 

Final Decision and Order 

NRTL Program staff examined UL’s 

application, the comparability analysis, 

and other pertinent information. Based 

upon this examination and the analysis, 

OSHA finds that UL meets the 

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

expansion of its recognition, subject to 

the limitation and conditions listed 

below. Pursuant to the authority granted 

by 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby 

expands the recognition of UL, subject 

to this limitation and these conditions. 

Limitation 

OSHA limits the expansion of UL’s 

recognition to testing and certification 

of products for demonstration of 

conformance to the following test 

standards, each of which OSHA 

determines is an appropriate test 

standard within the meaning of 29 CFR

Notes: 

aRecognition for this standard does not 

apply to testing and certification of 

equipment or materials used in installations 

excluded from the provisions of subpart S in 

29 CFR 1910 by section 1910.302(a)(2). bOSHA limits recognition for this standard 

to testing and certification of products used 

within recreational vehicles and mobile 

homes. cOSHA limits recognition of this standard 

to testing and certification of the electrical 

devices falling within the standard’s scope. 

The designations and titles of the 

above test standards were current at the 

time of the preparation of this notice. 

OSHA limits recognition of any NRTL 

for a particular test standard to 

equipment or materials (i.e., products) 

for which OSHA standards require 

third-party testing and certification 

before use of the product in the 

workplace. Consequently, if a test 

standard also covers any product for 

which OSHA does not require such 

testing and certification, an NRTL’s 

scope of recognition does not include 

that product. 

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. 

Conditions 

UL also must abide by the following 

conditions of the recognition, in 

addition to those conditions already 

required by 29 CFR 1910.7: 

1. UL must allow OSHA access to its 

facilities and records to ascertain 

continuing compliance with the terms 

of its recognition, and to perform 

investigations as OSHA deems 

necessary; 

2. If UL has reason to doubt the 

efficacy of any test standard it is using 

under this program, it must promptly 

inform the test standard-developing 

organization of this concern and provide 

that organization with appropriate 

relevant information upon which it 

bases its concern; 

3. UL must not engage in, or permit 

others to engage in, any 

misrepresentation of the scope or 

conditions of its recognition. As part of 

this condition, UL agrees that it will 

allow no representation that it is either 

a recognized or an accredited NRTL 

without clearly indicating the specific 

equipment or material to which this 

recognition applies, and also clearly 

indicating that its recognition is limited 

to specific products; 

4. UL must inform OSHA as soon as 

possible, in writing, of any change of 

ownership, facilities, or key personnel, 

and of any major changes in its 

operations as an NRTL, including 

details of these changes; 

5. UL will meet all the terms of its 

recognition, and will always comply 

with all OSHA policies pertaining to 

this recognition; and 

6. UL will continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition in all areas 

covered by its scope of recognition. 

Issue Regarding NFPA Standards 

In this notice, OSHA is modifying the 

scopes of recognition of three NRTLs. 

Specifically, five standards that OSHA 

currently includes, to varying degrees, 

in the scopes of recognition of these 

NRTLs are not ‘‘appropriate test 

standards’’ under 29 CFR 1910.7(c) 

because they do not primarily cover 

product-safety testing. In addition, 

OSHA has no requirement for NRTL 

approval of the systems covered by 

these standards. Consequently, OSHA is 

removing the test standards from the 

scopes of recognition of each affected 

NRTL (see list below). 

OSHA specifies a scope of recognition 

for each NRTL that includes a list of 

product-safety test standards that the 

NRTL may use in testing and certifying 

(i.e., approving) products; NRTLs must 

demonstrate that the products conform 

to ‘‘appropriate test standards,’’ as 

defined under 29 CFR 1910.7(c). 

‘‘Appropriate test standards’’ are 

consensus-based product-safety test 

standards developed and maintained by 

U.S.-based standards-developing 

organizations (SDOs). These test 

standards are not OSHA standards, 

which are general requirements that 

employers must meet; the test standards 

specify technical safety requirements 

that particular types of products must 

meet. 

The notice for the expansion 

described above also proposed the 

removal of these five test standards from 

each affected NRTL’s scope of 

recognition. OSHA requested comments 

on the notice by May 11, 2010; OSHA 

received no comments in response to 

this notice. OSHA now is proceeding 

with this final notice modifying the 

scopes of recognition of the affected 

NRTLs (see list below). 

OSHA will incorporate the 

modifications specified by this notice 

on its informational Web page for each 

affected NRTL. This page details 

OSHA’s official scope of recognition for 

the NRTL, including the standards the 

NRTL may use to certify products under 

OSHA’s NRTL Program. Access to these 

Web pages is available through http:// 

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

index.html.
