workplace. Consequently, if a test 

standard also covers any product(s) for 

which OSHA does not require such 

testing and certification, an NRTL’s 

scope of recognition does not include 

that product(s). 

Many UL test standards also are 

approved as American National 

Standards by the American National 

Standards Institute (ANSI). However, for 

convenience, we use the designation of 

the standards developing organization 

for the standard as opposed to the ANSI 

designation. Under our procedures, any 

NRTL recognized for an ANSI-approved 

test standard may use either the latest 

proprietary version of the test standard 

or the latest ANSI version of that 

standard. You may contact ANSI to find 

out whether or not a test standard is 

currently ANSI-approved. 

2. Supplemental Programs 

The renewal is also limited to 

continued use by NTS of the following 

supplemental programs, all of which are 

currently in its scope. 

Program 4: Acceptance of witnessed 

testing data. 

Program 8: Acceptance of product 

evaluations from organizations that 

function as part of the International 

Electrical Commission Certification 

Body (IEC–CB) Scheme. 

Program 9: Acceptance of services 

other than testing or evaluation 

performed by subcontractors or agents. 

In developing these programs, OSHA 

responded to industry requests and 

allowed certain of their ongoing 

practices to continue but in a manner 

controlled by OSHA criteria. In this 

sense, they are special conditions that 

the Agency places on an NRTL’s 

recognition. OSHA does not consider 

these programs in determining whether 

an NRTL meets the requirements for 

recognition under 29 CFR 1910.7. 

However, these programs help to define 

the scope of that recognition. 

Conditions 

NTS must also abide by the following 

conditions of the recognition, in 

addition to those already required by 29 

CFR 1910.7: 

OSHA must be allowed access to 

NTS’s facility and records for purposes 

of ascertaining continuing compliance 

with the terms of its recognition and to 

investigate as OSHA deems necessary; 

If NTS 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 fact and provide 

that organization with appropriate 

relevant information upon which its 

concerns are based; 

NTS 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, NTS agrees that it will 

allow no representation that it is either 

a recognized or an accredited Nationally 

Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) 

without clearly indicating the specific 

equipment or material to which this 

recognition is tied, or that its 

recognition is limited to certain 

products; 

NTS 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; 

NTS will meet all the terms of its 

recognition and will always comply 

with all OSHA policies pertaining to 

this recognition; and 

NTS will continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition in all areas 

where it has been recognized.

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

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), and as part of 

its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, the 

National Science Foundation (NSF) is 

inviting the general public and other 

Federal agencies to comment on this 

proposed continuing information 

collection. This is the third notice for 

public comment; the first was published 

in the Federal Register at 71 FR 38428 

and one comment that had no 

significant suggestions for altering the 

data plans was received. The second 

notice was published at 71 FR 78226, 

simultaneous with submission of the 

clearance package to OMB. The 

information collection request was 

withdrawn on March 29, 2007 to allow 

the program to clarify burden hours and 

participants. NSF is now forwarding the 

proposed submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

clearance simultaneously with the 

publication of this third notice. 

DATES: Comments regarding these 

information collections are best assured 

of having their full effect if received by 

OMB within 30 days of publication in 

the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments 

regarding (a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of NSF, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

NSF’s estimate of burden including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; or (d) ways 

to minimize the burden of the collection 

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 should be 

addressed to: Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs of OMB, Attention: 

Desk Officer for National Science 

Foundation, 725–17th Street, NW., 

Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503, 

and to Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports 

Clearance Officer, National Science 

Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, 

Suite 295, Arlington, Virginia 22230 or 

send e-mail to splimpto@nsf.gov. Copies 

of the submission may be obtained by 

calling (703) 292–7556. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Suzanne H. Plimpton, NSF Reports 

Clearance Officer at (703) 292–7556 or 

send e-mail to splimpto@nsf.gov. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number and the agency informs 

potential persons who are to respond to 

the collection of information that such 

persons are not required to respond to 

the collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Evaluation of the 

Research Experiences for 

Undergraduates (REU) Program in the 

NSF Directorate for Engineering (ENG). 

OMB Number: 3145–0121. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to renew an information 

collection for three years. 

Proposed Project: NSF has supported 

the REU Program since 1987. The 

Program was evaluated after three and 

five years and as part of a larger study 

of all NSF undergraduate research 

opportunities (URO) in 2003. The 

proposed project will enable NSF’s 

Directorate for Engineering (ENG) to 

learn about the activities, outcomes, and 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
34322 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 119 / Thursday, June 21, 2007 / Notices 

impacts of the REU awards made by that 

Directorate, as well as lessons learned to 

improve the results of future REU 

awards. Two types of REU awards will 

be studied, REU sites and REU 

supplements. REU Site awards fund 

groups of undergraduates to work with 

faculty members at an institution. Half 

of the undergraduates in an REU site 

must come from other institutions. ENG 

also makes REU Supplement awards to 

NSF-funded Engineering Research 

Centers and to other NSF-funded 

researchers for comparable involvement 

of undergraduates. 

The proposed study will be similar to 

the 2003 URO study. It will focus on 

undergraduate ENG REU participants 

and the faculty members who are 

responsible for the ENG REU awards 

during summer 2006 through spring 

2007, and will examine in detail for the 

first time the activities, outcomes, and 

impacts of REU awards made in a single 

NSF directorate—ENG. The study will 

evaluate the longer-term effects of REU 

experiences with a follow-up survey of 

the students approximately two years 

later. The REU program officers in the 

NSF’s Division of Engineering 

Education and Centers (EEC) 

particularly want to learn in depth 

about the EEC REU Site and ERC REU 

Supplement awards from former REU 

students and awardees, any differences 

between the Sites and ERC 

Supplements, and lessons learned for 

subsequent proposal review and 

advising prospective PIs. Information 

will also be used for ENG Program 

reporting requirements. The study will 

examine (1) the role of the REU program 

in aiding participating undergraduates 

in a decision to pursue graduate 

education or careers in engineering; and 

(2) the relationship between how REU 

activities are structured and managed 

and participants’ subsequent education 

and career decisions and actions. 

The survey data collection will be 

done on the World Wide Web. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 30 minutes per 

response. 

Respondents: Individuals. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

10,529. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 5,094 hours. 

Frequency of Response: One time for 

faculty, two times for students. 

Dated: June 15, 2007.
