SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Notice of Final Decision OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of recognition of UL LLC (UL) as a NRTL. UL's expansion covers the addition of 42 test sites to its 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 product-certification 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 UL, 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*. UL submitted an application, dated January 20, 2021 (OSHA-2009-0025-0050), requesting the conversion of 42 existing Satellite Notification Acceptance Program (SNAP) sites to recognized sites under the NRTL Policy for Transitioning to Satellite Notification and Acceptance Program Termination (SNAP Transition Policy) published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     on November 24, 2020 (85 FR 75042), as amended by a June 22, 2022 Memorandum from James S. Frederick, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health, to Regional Administrators and Executive Staff, titled “Second Revision to the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) Policy for Transitioning to Satellite Notification and Acceptance Program (SNAP) Termination.” OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing UL's expansion application in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                     on August 16, 2023 (88 FR 55734). The agency requested comments by August 31, 2023, but it received no comments in response to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding with this final grant of expansion of UL's NRTL recognition. To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to the UL application, go to 
                    *http://www.regulations.gov*
                     or contact the Docket Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. Docket No. OSHA-2009-0025 contains all materials in the record concerning UL's recognition. All submissions, including copyrighted material, are available for inspection through the OSHA Docket Office. Contact the OSHA Docket Office at (202) 693-2350 for assistance in locating docket submissions.
                    ( print page 66063) II. Final Decision and Order OSHA staff examined UL's expansion application, its capability to meet the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that UL meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, subject to the specified limitations and condition. OSHA limits the expansion of UL's recognition to include the 42 sites listed in Table 1, below. This limitation is consistent with the recognition that OSHA grants to other NRTLs that operate multiple sites. Table 1—List of Test Sites for Inclusion in UL's NRTL Scope of Recognition
