Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 146 / Monday, July 30, 2018 / Notices 36625 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for final 

approval. This program helps to ensure 

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 can be properly assessed. 

The Distribution of Characteristics of 

the Insured Unemployed is a monthly 

snapshot of the demographic 

composition of the claimant population 

in the Unemployment Insurance (UI) 

system. It is based on those who file a 

claim in the week containing the 19th 

day of the month, which reflects 

unemployment during the week 

containing the 12th day of the month. 

This corresponds with the sample frame 

used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics 

for the production of labor force 

statistics they produce. This report 

serves a variety of socio-economic needs 

because it provides aggregate data 

reflecting UI claimants’ sex, race/ethnic 

group, age, industry, and occupation. 

The Social Security Act, Section 

303(a)(6), authorizes this information 

collection. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration, and they will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval of the final ICR. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB control number 1205– 

0009. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the internet, without 

redaction. The DOL encourages 

commenters not to include personally 

identifiable information, confidential 

business data, or other sensitive 

statements/information in any 

comments. 

The DOL is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• 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, 

• 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, 

• enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected, and 

• 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 submission of 

responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Applications for 

Expansion 

The Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration is providing notice that 

TUV Rheinland of North America, Inc. 

(TUVRNA), is applying for expansion of 

its current recognition as an NRTL. 

TUVRNA requests the addition of four 

(4) recognized testing and certification 

sites, and two (2) additional test 

standards to its NRTL scope of 

recognition. 

OSHA recognition of an 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 its 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 

a NRTL for initial recognition and for an 

expansion or renewal of this 

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 its 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 TUVRNA, which 

details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

OSHA website at http://www.osha.gov/ 

dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

TUVRNA currently has five facilities 

(sites) recognized by OSHA for product 

testing and certification, with its 

headquarters located at: TUV Rheinland 

of North America, Inc., 12 Commerce 

Road, Newtown, Connecticut 06470. A 

complete list of TUVRNA sites 

recognized by OSHA is available at 

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

tuv.html. 

II. General Background on the 

Applications 

TUVRNA submitted two applications, 

one dated March 30, 2016 (OSHA– 

2007–0042–0030) and another dated 

April 19, 2017 (OSHA–2007–0042– 

0031), to expand its recognition to 

include the addition of four recognized 

testing and certification sites located at: 

TUV Rheinland (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. 1f 

East & 2–4F, Cybio Technology Building 

No. 1, No. 16, Keibei 2nd Road, HighTech Industrial Park North, Nashan 

District, 518057 Shenzhen China; TUV 

Rheinland (Shanghai) Co., Ltd, TUV 

Rheinland Building No. 177, Lane 777, 

West Guangzhong Road, Zhabei District, 

Shanghai 200072, P.R. China; TUV 

Rheinland Taiwan Ltd., 11F., No 758, 

Sec. 4, Bade Rd., Songshan Dist., Taipei 

City 105, Taiwan; and TUV Rheinland 

Taiwan Ltd., Taichung Branch Office, 

No. 9, Lane 36, Minsheng Rod., Sec. 3, 

Daya District, Taichung City 428, 

Taiwan. TUVRNA’s applications also 

requested the addition of two additional 

test standards to its scope of 

recognition. In 2017 OSHA staff 

performed an on-site review of 

TUVRNA’s testing facilities on August 

7–8 at TUV Rheinland Shanghai, August 

10–11at TUV Rheinland Shenzhen, 

August 14–15 at TUV Rheinland Taipei, 

and August 16, 2017 at TUV Rheinland 

Taichung, in which the assessors found 

some nonconformances with the 

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. 

TUVRNA addressed these issues 

sufficiently, and OSHA staff 

preliminarily determined that OSHA 

should grant the applications for 

expansion. 

Table 1 below lists the appropriate 

test standards found in TUVRNA’s 

applications for expansion for testing 

and certification of products under the 

NRTL Program. 

TABLE 1—PROPOSED LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN TUVRNA’S NRTL SCOPE OF

RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

NFPA 496 ........................................................................... Purged and Pressurized Enclosures for Electrical Equipment. 

UL 698A ............................................................................. Industrial and Classification of Mercantile and Bank Burglar-Alarm Systems. 

III. Preliminary Finding on the 

Applications 

TUVRNA submitted acceptable 

applications for expansion of its scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application files and detailed on-site 

assessments indicate that TUVRNA can 

meet the requirements prescribed by 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expanding recognition to 

include the addition of four sites and 

these two test standards for NRTL 

testing and certification. This 

preliminary finding does not constitute 

an interim or temporary approval of 

TUVRNA’s applications. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether TUVRNA meets the 

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

expansion of its recognition as a NRTL. 

Comments should consist of pertinent 

written documents and exhibits. 

Commenters needing more time to 

comment must submit a request in 

writing, stating the reasons for the 

request by the due date for comments. 

OSHA will limit any extension to 10 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 146 / Monday, July 30, 2018 / Notices 36627 

days unless the requester justifies a 

longer time period. OSHA may deny a 

request for an extension if it is not 

adequately justified. To obtain or review 

copies of the exhibits identified in this 

notice, as well as comments submitted 

to the docket, contact the Docket Office, 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Labor, listed in ADDRESSES. These 

materials also are available online at 

https://www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. OSHA–2007–0042. 

OSHA staff will review all comments 

to the docket submitted in a timely 

manner. After addressing the issues 

raised by these comments, staff will 

make a recommendation to the Assistant 

Secretary for Occupational Safety and 

Health on whether to grant TUVRNA’s 

applications for expansion of its scope 

of recognition. The Assistant Secretary 

will make the final decision on granting 

the applications. In making this 

decision, the Assistant Secretary may 

undertake other proceedings prescribed 

in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. 

OSHA will publish a public notice of 

this final decision in the Federal 

Register.
