SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pertains to 

certification of certain persons to 

perform specific exams and tests. Also 

contains procedures under which coal 

mine operators are required to maintain 

a list of certified and qualified persons, 

and to develop an approved training 

plan for hosting engineers or host men. 

30 CFR 75.159 and 77.106 require coal 

mine operators to maintain a list of 

persons who are certified and those who 

are qualified to perform duties under 

parts 75 and 77, such as conduct 

examinations for hazardous conditions, 

conduct tests for methane and oxygen 

deficiency, conduct tests of air flow, 

perform electrical work, repair 

energized surface high-voltage lines, 

and perform duties of hoisting engineer. 

The information collection is necessary 

to ensure that only persons who are 

properly trained and sufficiently 

experienced are permitted to perform 

these duties. Although MSHA does not 

specify a format for the recordkeeping, 

it normally consists of the names of the 

certified and qualified persons listed in 

two columns on a sheet of paper. One 

column is for certified persons and the 

other is for qualified persons. For 

additional substantive information

[Docket No. OSHA–2021–0005] 

Labtest Certification Inc.: Grant of 

Expansion of Recognition 

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA), Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, OSHA 

announces the final decision to expand 

the scope of recognition for Labtest 

Certification Inc., as a Nationally 

Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). 

DATES: The expansion of scope of 

recognition becomes effective on 

January 30, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Information regarding this notice is 

available from the following sources: 

Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank 

Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office of 

Communications, phone: (202) 693– 

1999 or email: meilinger.francis2@

dol.gov. 

General and technical information: 

Contact Mr. Kevin Robinson, Director, 

Office of Technical Programs and 

Coordination Activities, Directorate of 

Technical Support and Emergency 

Management, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, phone: (202)

dol.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition 

for Labtest Certification Inc. (LCI). LCI’s 

expansion covers the addition of nine 

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 

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 a preliminary 

finding. In the second notice, the agency 

provides a 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 LCI, which 

details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

OSHA website at: https://

www.osha.gov/nationally-recognizedtesting-laboratory-program. 

LCI submitted an application dated 

March 8, 2022 (OSHA–2021–0005– 

0005), requesting the addition of ten test 

standards to the NRTL scope of 

recognition. That application was 

updated on June 26, 2023 (OSHA–2021– 

0005–0006), to remove one standard 

from the original submission. This 

expansion will cover the remaining nine 

standards. OSHA staff performed a 

detailed analysis of the application 

packet and reviewed other pertinent 

information. OSHA did not perform any 

on-site reviews in relation to this 

application. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing LCI’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

December 1, 2023 (88 FR 83972). The 

agency requested comments by 

December 18, 2023, but it received no 

comments in response to this notice. 

OSHA is now proceeding with this final 

notice to grant expansion of LCI’s NRTL 

scope of recognition. 

To review copies of all public 

documents pertaining to LCI’s 

application, go to http://

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor at (202) 693–2350. Docket No. 

OSHA–2021–0005 contains all materials 

in the record concerning LCI’s 

recognition. All submissions, including 

copyrighted material, are available for 

inspection through the OSHA Docket 

Office. Contact the OSHA Docket Office 

at (202) 693–2350 for assistance in 

locating docket submissions. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined LCI’s expansion 

application, its capability to meet the 

requirements of the test standards, and 

other pertinent information. Based on 

its review of this evidence, OSHA finds 

that LCI meets the requirements of 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its 

recognition, subject to the limitations 

and conditions. OSHA, therefore, is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant LCI’s expanded scope of 

recognition. OSHA limits the expansion 

of LCI’s recognition to include the 

testing and certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standards shown below in Table 1.

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
