Particulates (Underground Coal) 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506 (c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

July 2, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to, Debbie 

Ferraro, Management Services Division, 

1100 Wilson Boulevard, Room 2171,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Mine Safety and Health 

Administration’s (MSHA) standards and 

regulations for diesel particulate in 

underground coal mines serve to protect 

coal miners who work on and around 

diesel-powered equipment. The internal 

combustion engines that power diesel 

equipment expose miners to potential 

health risks from exposure to diesel 

exhaust emissions. These standards and 

regulations contain information 

collection requirements for 

underground coal mine operators. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

MSHA is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

<bullet≤ Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

<bullet≤ Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

<bullet≤ Enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

<bullet≤ 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, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the employee listed in the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section of this notice, or viewed on the 

Internet by accessing the MSHA home 

page (http://www.msha.gov) and then 

choosing ‘‘Rules and Regs’’ and 

‘‘Federal Register Documents.’’ 

III. Current Actions 

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health 

Administration is soliciting comments 

concerning the extension of the 

information collection requirements 

related to the 30 CFR 75.1915/72.503, §

72.510, § 72.520, and as a result of §

72.500, diesel manufacturers affected 

under Part 7 or Part 36. 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Agency: Mine Safety and Health 

Administration. 

Title: Diesel Particulate Matter 

Exposure of Underground Coal Miners. 

OMB Number: 1219–0124. 

Recordkeeping: The information 

gathered is required to be recorded,

representatives. This may be done in a 

traditional manner by recording on 

paper, or electronically by computer. 

Frequency: On Occasion. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Respondents: 165. 

Total Burden Hours: 623.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA) is giving notice 

that Electrical Reliability Services, Inc. 

(formerly Electro-Test, Inc.) (ETI) has 

applied for renewal of its recognition as 

a Nationally Recognized Testing 

Laboratory (NRTL). (OSHA will refer to 

this NRTL by its former name 

throughout this notice.) OSHA’s current 

scope of recognition for ETI may be 

found in the following Web page: http:// 

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

OSHA has reviewed ETI’s renewal 

application and has preliminarily 

determined that ETI is not 

‘‘independent’’ (29 CFR 1910.7(b)(3)), a 

prerequisite to initial and continued 

NRTL recognition. For this reason, 

OSHA is proposing to deny ETI’s 

application. 

OSHA requests comments on this 

preliminary determination, in 

accordance with Appendix A to 29 CFR 

1910.7. Any comments must be received 

by July 2, 2007. 

The most recent application 

processed by OSHA specifically related 

to ETI’s recognition granted an 

expansion of recognition. The final 

notice for this expansion was published 

on March 9, 1999 (64 FR 11500). The 

only other Federal Register notice 

related to ETI’s recognition that OSHA 

published covered its recognition as an 

NRTL, which OSHA granted as 

described below. The current address of 

the only ETI site recognized by OSHA 

is: Electro-Test, Inc., 6900 Koll Center 

Parkway, Suite 416, Pleasanton, CA 

94566. 

II. Background 

a. The NRTL Program and Application 

Process 

Many of OSHA’s safety standards 

require that equipment or products used 

in places of employment covered by the 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 be tested and certified to help 

ensure they can be used safely (see, e.g., 

29 CFR 1910, Subpart S). In general, this 

testing and certification must be 

performed by an NRTL. In order to 

ensure that the testing and certification 

are done appropriately, OSHA 

implemented the NRTL Program. The 

NRTL Program establishes the criteria 

that an organization must meet in order 

to be and remain recognized as an 

NRTL. 

The NRTL Program requirements are 

set forth at 29 CFR 1910.7, ‘‘Definition 

and requirements for a nationally 

recognized testing laboratory.’’ To be 

recognized by OSHA, an organization 

must: (1) Have the appropriate 

capability to test, evaluate, and approve 

products to assure their safe use in the 

workplace; (2) be completely 

independent of the manufacturers, 

vendors, and major users of the 

products for which OSHA requires 

certification; (3) have internal programs 

that ensure proper control of the testing 

and certification process; and (4) have 

effective reporting and complaint 

handling procedures. OSHA recognition 

of an NRTL signifies that the 

organization has met the legal 

requirements in Section 1910.7. 

Recognition is an acknowledgment that 

the organization can perform 

independent safety testing and 

certification of the products covered 

within its scope of recognition and is 

not a delegation or grant of government 

authority. 

OSHA requires NRTLs to submit a 

detailed application when applying for 

recognition under the program. Once 

granted, an NRTL’s recognition is for a 

period of five years, near the conclusion 

of which the NRTL must apply for 

renewal of recognition. Appendix A to 

Section 1910.7 establishes the renewal 

process. This process provides NRTLs 

with several opportunities to present 

information to the Agency to justify 

their continued recognition under the 

program.
