SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that UL 

LLC, (UL) is applying to expand the 

current recognition as a NRTL. UL 

requests the addition of thirty-five test 

standards 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 

NRTLs or applicant organizations for 

initial recognition, as well as for 

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 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 UL, which details 

that NRTL’s scope of recognition. These 

pages are available from the OSHA 

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

otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

UL currently has fifty-five facilities 

(sites) recognized by OSHA for product 

testing and certification, with 

headquarters located at: UL LLC, 333 

Pfingsten Road, Northbrook, Illinois 

60062. A complete list of UL sites 

recognized by OSHA is available at 

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

ul.html. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

UL submitted two applications, one 

dated December 24, 2021 (OSHA–2009– 

0025–0053), and a second dated May 5, 

2023 (OSHA–2009–0025–0054). The 

first application was amended on July 

19, 2022, to remove two standards from 

the original request (OSHA–2009–0025– 

0055). In total, the expansion 

applications, as amended, requested the 

addition of thirty-seven test standards to 

the scope of recognition. OSHA has 

determined that two of the standards 

included in the amended expansion 

application, UL 80079–36 and 80079– 

37, are not appropriate test standards 

and is therefore not proposing they be 

included for inclusion in UL’s NRTL 

Scope of Recognition or in the NRTL 

Program’s List of Appropriate Test 

Standards. This notice covers the 

expansion to include the remaining 

thirty-five standards. OSHA staff 

performed a detailed analysis of the 

application packets and other pertinent 

information. OSHA did not perform any 

on-site reviews in relation to these 

applications. 

Table 1, below, lists the test standards 

found in UL’s applications for 

expansion for testing and certification of 

products under the NRTL Program.

III. Proposal To Add New Test 

Standards to the NRTL Program’s List 

of Appropriate Test Standards 

Periodically, OSHA will propose to 

add new test standards to the NRTL list 

of appropriate test standards following 

an evaluation of the test standard 

document. To qualify as an appropriate 

test standard, the agency evaluates the 

document to: (1) verify it represents a 

product category for which OSHA 

requires certification by a NRTL; (2) 

verify the document represents a 

product and not a component; and (3) 

verify the document defines safety test 

specifications (not installation or 

operational performance specifications). 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
73876 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 207 / Friday, October 27, 2023 / Notices 

OSHA becomes aware of new test 

standards through various avenues. For 

example, OSHA may become aware of 

new test standards by: (1) monitoring 

notifications issued by certain 

Standards Development Organizations; 

(2) reviewing applications by NRTLs or 

applicants seeking recognition to 

include new test standards in their 

scopes of recognition; and (3) obtaining 

notification from manufacturers, 

manufacturing organizations, 

government agencies, or other parties. 

OSHA may determine to include a new 

test standard in the list, for example, if 

the test standard is for a particular type 

of product that another test standard 

also covers or it covers a type of product 

that no standard previously covered. 

In this notice, OSHA proposes to add 

thirteen new test standards to the NRTL 

Program’s list of appropriate test 

standards. Table 2, below, lists the test 

standards that are new to the NRTL 

Program. OSHA preliminarily 

determines that these test standards are 

appropriate test standards. OSHA seeks 

public comment on this preliminary 

determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of 

the continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent (i.e., 

employer) burden, conducts a 

preclearance consultation program to 

provide the public with an opportunity 

to comment on proposed and 

continuing information collection 

requirements in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

ensures that information is in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and costs) is minimal, the collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) 

authorizes information collection by 

employers as necessary or appropriate 

for enforcement of the OSH Act or for 

developing information regarding the 

causes and prevention of occupational 

injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 

U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires 

that OSHA obtain such information 

with minimum burden upon employers, 

especially those operating small 

businesses, and to reduce to the 

maximum extent feasible unnecessary 

duplication of effort in obtaining 

information (29 U.S.C. 657). 

The Anhydrous Ammonia Storage 

and Handling Standard (29 CFR 

1910.111) specifies a number of 

paperwork requirements. The following 

is a brief description of the collection of 

information requirements contained in 

the standard. 

Paragraph (b)(3) of the Standard 

specifies that systems have nameplates 

if required, and that these nameplates 

‘‘be permanently attached to the system 

(as specified by paragraph (b)(3)(ii)(j)) so 

as to be readily accessible for 

inspection. . . .’’ In addition, this 

paragraph requires that markings on 

containers and systems covered by 

paragraphs (c) (‘‘Systems utilizing 

stationary, non-refrigerated storage 

containers’’), (f) (‘‘Tank motor vehicles 

for the transportation of ammonia’’), (g) 

(‘‘Systems mounted on farm vehicles 

other than for the application of 

ammonia’’), and (h) (‘‘Systems mounted 

on farm vehicles for the application of 

ammonia’’) provide information 

regarding nine specific characteristics of 

the containers and systems. Similarly, 

paragraph (b)(4) of the Standard 

specifies that refrigerated containers be 

marked with a nameplate on the outer 

covering in an accessible place that 

provides information regarding eight 

specific characteristics of the container. 

The required markings ensure that 

employers use only properly designed 

and tested containers and systems to 

store anhydrous ammonia, thereby 

preventing accidental release of, and 

exposure of workers to, this highly toxic 

and corrosive substance. 

II. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed information 

collection requirements are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

agency’s functions to protect workers, 

including whether the information is 

useful; 

• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of 

the burden (time and costs) of the 

information collection requirements, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• The quality, utility, and clarity of 

the information collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

employers who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information collection, 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA is requesting that OMB 

approves the revision of the collection 

of information (paperwork) 

requirements contained in the 

Anhydrous Ammonia Storage and 

Handling Standard. There is a change of 

six burden hours (336 to 342) for 

documentation by a professional 

engineer for the safety of the equipment 

being used in this ICR request. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Anhydrous Ammonia Storage 

and Handling Standard. 

OMB Number: 1218–0208. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; farms. 

Number of Respondents: 207,100. 

Number of Responses: 2,059. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Average Time per Response: Varies. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 342. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $0.
