Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 225 / Friday, November 21, 1997 / Notices 62359

Independence

A statement of independence was

supplied attesting that DTL is

independent of any producer, supplier,

or vendor. The applicant claims in the

statement that, for products being tested

and certified: it has no managerial

affiliations with any producer, supplier,

or vendor; it has no securities,

investments, or stock options in the

product lines; the employment security

of its personnel is free from influence by

any producer, supplier, or vendor; that

it is not owned, operated, or controlled

by any producers, suppliers, or vendors;

and that it is not engaged in promotion

or design.

Creditable Reports/Complaint Handling

Section 1910.7(b)(4) provides that a

OSHA recognized NRTL must maintain

effective procedures for producing

creditable findings and reports that are

objective and without bias, as well as for

handling complaints and disputes under

a fair and reasonable system. The QA

manual contains details on development

of test data and reports, and both the

application and the QA manual describe

a complaint procedure.

Standards

DTL desires recognition for testing

and certification of products to

determine compliance with the

following test standards, which are

appropriate within the meaning of 29

CFR 1910.7(c):

ANSI/UL 234—Low Voltage Lighting

Fixtures for Use in Recreational

Vehicles

ANSI/UL 1025—Electric Air Heaters

Preliminary Finding

Detroit Testing Laboratory, Inc.,

addressed all of the criteria which had

to be met for recognition as an NRTL,

as summarized above. In addition, the

NRTL Recognition Program staff

performed an on-site review of DTL’s

main facility and investigated nine

major areas: facility; test equipment;

calibration program; test and evaluation

procedures; test reports; records; quality

assurance program; follow-up listing

program; and personnel. Any

discrepancies noted by the survey team

during the on-site review were

adequately responded to following the

on-site evaluation and are included as

an integral part of the On-Site Review

Report (see Exhibit 3). With the

preparation of the final report, the

Program staff was satisfied that the

testing facility appeared to meet the

necessary criteria required by 29 CFR

1910.7, and recommended that DTL be

recognized.

Following a review of the application

file and the On-Site Review Report, the

NRTL Recognition Program staff

concluded that the applicant appeared

to have met the requirements for

recognition as a Nationally Recognized

Testing Laboratory for the Warren,

Michigan facility and, therefore,

recommended to the Assistant Secretary

that the application be preliminarily

approved.

Based upon a review of the completed

application file, the On-Site Review

Report, and the recommendation of the

staff, the Assistant Secretary has made

a preliminary finding that Detroit

Testing Laboratory, Inc. can meet the

requirements as prescribed by 29 CFR

1910.7 to recognize the Warren,

Michigan facility for the two standards

previously listed.

All interested members of the public

are invited to supply detailed reasons

and evidence supporting or challenging

the sufficiency of the applicant having

met the requirements for recognition as

a Nationally Recognized Testing

Laboratory, as well as Appendix A to 29

CFR 1910.7. Submission of pertinent

written documents and exhibits shall be

made no later than January 20, 1998 and

must be addressed to the Office of

Variance Determination, NRTL

Recognition Program, Occupational

Safety and Health Administration, U.S.

Department of Labor, 200 Constitution

Avenue, N.W., Room N 3653,

Washington, D.C. 20210. Copies of the

DTL application, the laboratory On-Site

Review Report, and all submitted

comments, as received, (Docket No.

NRTL–2–97), are available for

inspection and duplication at the

Docket Office, Room N 2634,

Occupational Safety and Health

Administration, U.S. Department of

Labor, at the above address.

The Assistant Secretary’s final

decision on whether the applicant (DTL)

satisfies the requirements for

recognition as a NRTL will be made on

the basis of the entire record including

the public submissions and any further

proceedings that the Assistant Secretary

may consider appropriate in accordance

with Appendix A to Section 1910.7.

Authority: 29 CFR 1910.7.

and evidence supporting or challenging

the sufficiency of the applicant’s having

met the requirements for expansion of

its recognition as a Nationally

Recognized Testing Laboratory, as

required by 29 CFR 1910.7 and

Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7.

Submission of pertinent written

documents and exhibits shall be made
