[OJP (OJP) Docket No. 1800] 

Draft Programmatic Environmental 

Assessment for Grant Funding 

Programs 

AGENCY: Office of Justice Programs. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of a draft 

programmatic environmental 

assessment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), the Department of Justice (DOJ) 

Office of Justice Programs (OJP) has 

completed a Draft Programmatic 

Environmental Assessment (PEA). The 

OJP provides federal leadership, grants, 

training, technical assistance and other 

resources to improve the nation’s 

capacity to prevent and reduce crime, 

assist victims and uphold the rule of 

law by strengthening the criminal and 

juvenile justice systems. The PEA 

evaluates the potential environmental 

impacts of implementing OJP programs 

that provide funding to applicants in 

support of OJP’s mission. NEPA requires 

that federal agencies consider the effects 

of a proposed action and any reasonable 

alternatives on the human environment. 

This Draft PEA evaluates the impacts 

that would result from the 

implementation of the Proposed Action 

as compared to the No Action

(Please reference ‘‘Draft PEA, Docket 

1800’’ in the subject line.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), 

a component of OJP, prepared a PEA 

that was issued in 2010 to evaluate the 

impacts of NIJ grant programs. This 

existing 2010 NIJ PEA has since been 

adopted by the Bureau of Justice 

Assistance, another component of OJP. 

Council on Environmental Quality 

guidance recommends that agencies reexamine existing NEPA analyses for 

long-term programs every five years. 

Consistent with this recommendation, 

OJP has reviewed its existing PEA and 

has determined that a new analysis is 

warranted based on the factors found in 

40 CFR 1502.19. OJP has prepared an 

updated PEA that is intended to replace 

the 2010 NIJ PEA and will cover all of 

OJP’s funding programs. OJP publishes 

this notice pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq. 

II. Proposed Action Description 

The Proposed Action considered 

under this Draft PEA is for OJP to 

continue to provide funding to 

applicants to support its mission. OJP 

evaluates and funds approximately 

7,000 projects per year nationwide. All 

activities considered under the Draft 

PEA support criminal justice activities 

and are funded under one of OJP’s grant 

programs or other funding vehicles such 

as interagency agreements. The Draft 

PEA provides analysis of the following 

activities: 

• Construction: Interior or exterior 

construction activities that involve 

minor renovation, new construction, or 

expansion of buildings and/or building 

systems. 

• Training: Indoor classroom, 

laboratory, and computer training 

activities in support of education or 

attendance at conferences, workshops, 

and seminars at existing facilities. 

Firearms training activities at existing, 

established outdoor and indoor firing 

ranges. Activities may include funding 

individuals to attend a training or 

funding a training event/activity 

directly. 

• Routine Lab Work: Indoor 

laboratory work using known or 

accepted methodology and industry 

standard equipment to achieve known 

outcomes. 

• Body Decomposition Research: 

Research on body decomposition at 

forensic anthropological centers. 

• Standards Development Testing 

and Compliance Testing for Protective 

Equipment: Indoor and outdoor 

laboratory testing activities completed 

in support of developing a standard or 

for testing a product for inclusion on the 

National Institute of Justice Compliant 

Products List. 

The purpose of the Proposed Action 

is to allow OJP to better meet the needs 

of state, local, and tribal criminal justice 

professionals and local communities. 

OJP supports forensic science programs 

dedicated to research, development, 

testing, and evaluation in conjunction 

with capacity building and technical 

assistance. OJP provides funding for 

these activities to combat crime and 

promote justice across the country.

[Docket No. OSHA–2006–0048] 

NSF International: Grant of Expansion 

of Recognition 

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA), Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, OSHA 

announces the final decision to expand 

the scope of recognition for NSF 

International as a Nationally Recognized 

Testing Laboratory (NRTL). 

DATES: The expansion of the scope of 

recognition becomes effective on 

September 19, 2023. 

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, U.S. Department of 

Labor, 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, U.S. Department 

of Labor, phone: (202) 693–2300 or 

email: robinson.kevin@dol.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

NSF International (NSF), as a NRTL. 

NSF’s expansion covers the addition of 

one test site 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, as well 

as for an expansion or renewal of 

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 the 

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 NSF, which details that 

NRTL’s scope of recognition. These 

pages are available from the OSHA 

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

otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

NSF submitted an application, dated 

July 21, 2020 (OSHA–2006–0048–0016), 

to expand recognition as a NRTL to 

include one additional test site located 

at: 251 Airport Industrial Drive,
