Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 150 / Friday, August 3, 2018 / Notices 38183 

determined that these test standards are 

appropriate test standards and will 

include them in the NRTL Program’s 

List of Appropriate Test Standards. 

TABLE 2—TEST STANDARDS OSHA IS ADDING TO THE NRTL PROGRAM’S LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS

Test standard Test standard title 

ISA 60079–25 ... Standard for Explosive Atmospheres—Part 25: Intrinsically Safe Electrical Systems. 

UL 60079–26 .... Standard for Explosive Atmospheres—Part 26: Equipment with Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga. 

UL 60079–28 .... Standard for Explosive Atmospheres—Part 28: Protection of Equipment and Transmission Systems Using Optical Radiation. 

UL 60079–31 .... Standard for Explosive Atmospheres—Part 31: Equipment Dust Ignition Protection Enclosure ‘‘t’’. 

OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for 

a particular test standard is limited to 

equipment or materials for which OSHA 

standards require third-party testing and 

certification before using them in the 

workplace. Consequently, if a test 

standard also covers any products for 

which OSHA does not require such 

testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope 

of recognition does not include these 

products. 

The American National Standards 

Institute (ANSI) may approve the test 

standards listed above as American 

National Standards. However, for 

convenience, the use of the designation 

of the standards-developing 

organization for the standard as opposed 

to the ANSI designation may occur. 

Under the NRTL Program’s policy (see 

OSHA Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix 

C, paragraph XIV), any NRTL 

recognized for a particular test standard 

may use either the proprietary version 

of the test standard or the ANSI version 

of that standard. Contact ANSI to 

determine whether a test standard is 

currently ANSI-approved. 

A. Conditions 

In addition to those conditions 

already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, FM 

must abide by the following conditions 

of the recognition: 

1. FM must inform OSHA as soon as 

possible, in writing, of any change of 

ownership, facilities, or key personnel, 

and of any major change in its 

operations as a NRTL, and provide 

details of the change(s); 

2. FM must meet all the terms of its 

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; 

and 

3. FM must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

FM’s scope of recognition, in all areas 

for which it has recognition. 

Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 

1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope 

of recognition of FM, subject to the 

limitation and conditions specified 

above.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND 

BUDGET 

Notice of Request for Information: 

Establishing a Government 

Effectiveness Advanced Research 

(GEAR) Center 

AGENCY: Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB), Executive Office of the 

President. 

ACTION: Notice of request for 

information: Establishing a Government 

Effectiveness Advanced Research 

(GEAR) Center. 

SUMMARY: The Executive Office of the 

President seeks input from across 

sectors and disciplines on capabilities 

that already exist as well as key 

considerations in pursuing the 

Government Effectiveness Advanced 

Research (GEAR) Center initiative 

through a request for information (RFI) 

now available on 

www.Performance.gov/GEARcenter. 

The Federal Government intends to 

pursue a Government Effectiveness 

Advanced Research (GEAR) Center, 

which would be a public-private 

partnership focused on applied research 

that improves mission delivery, citizen 

services, and stewardship of public 

resources, as proposed in Delivering 

Government Solutions for the 21st 

Century: Reform Plan and 

Reorganization Recommendations. This 

non-governmental, public-private 

partnership would address operational 

and strategic challenges facing the 

Federal Government, both now and into 

the future, by engaging researchers, 

academics, non-profits, and private 

industry across an array of disciplines, 

such as data science, organizational 

behavior, and user-centered design. 

Through applied research and live 

pilot testing, the GEAR Center would 

connect cutting-edge thinking with realworld challenges the Federal 

Government faces in serving Americans 

in the Digital Age. This means reimagining possibilities for how citizens 

interact with the Government; 

rethinking the delivery of citizen 

services and data; reforming core 

processes (e.g., procurement, budget, IT 

investment and capital allocation); and 

exploring how the public-sector 

workforce can be developed, reskilled 

and redeployed in creative ways. 

DATES: September 14, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

The NRC issued revisions to NUREG– 

1556, Volumes 16 and 17, to provide 

guidance to existing materials licensees 

covered under these types of licenses 

and to applicants preparing an 

application for one of these types of 

materials licenses. These NUREG 

volumes also provide the NRC staff with 

criteria for evaluating these types of 

license applications. The purpose of this 

notice is to notify the public that the 

NUREG–1556 volumes listed in this 

Federal Register notice were issued as 

final reports.

availability of the draft report for 

comment versions of NUREG–1556,

were published for a public comment 

period that was at least 32 days. The
