SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that 

Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. 

(ITSNA), is applying for expansion of 

the current recognition as a NRTL. 

ITSNA requests the addition of four 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 ITSNA, 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. 

ITSNA currently has thirty-five 

facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA for 

product testing and certification, with 

the headquarters located at: Intertek 

Testing Services NA, Inc., 545 East 

Algonquin Road, Suite F, Arlington 

Heights, Illinois 60005. A complete list 

of ITSNA’s scope of recognition is 

available at https://www.osha.gov/ 

nationally-recognized-testinglaboratory-program/its.

II. General Background on the 

Application 

ITSNA submitted an application 

dated February 15, 2021 (OSHA–2007– 

0039–0055), requesting the addition of 

four test standards to the NRTL scope of 

recognition. 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. 

Table 1, below, lists the appropriate 

test standards found in ITSNA’s 

application for expansion for testing and 

certification of products under the 

NRTL Program. 

TABLE 1—PROPOSED APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN ITSNA’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 1973 ................................................ Batteries for Use in Stationary, Vehicle Auxiliary Power and Light Electric Rail (LER) Applications. 

UL 2271 ................................................ Batteries for Use in Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) Applications. 

UL 2524 ................................................ In-Building 2-Way Emergency Radio Communication Enhancement Systems. 

UL 2743 ................................................ Portable Power Packs. 

III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

ITSNA submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application file and pertinent 

documentation indicates that ITSNA 

can meet the requirements prescribed by 

29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding the 

recognition to include the addition of 

these four test standards for NRTL 

testing and certification listed in Table 

1. This preliminary finding does not 

constitute an interim or temporary 

approval of ITSNA’s application. 

OSHA seeks comment on this 

preliminary determination. 

IV. Public Participation 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether ITSNA meets the 

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

expansion of 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 

days unless the requester justifies a 

longer time period. OSHA may deny a 

request for an extension if it is not 

adequately justified. 

To 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. These materials 

also are generally available online at 

https://www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. OSHA–2007–0039 (for 

further information, see the ‘‘Docket’’ 

heading in the section of this notice 

titled ADDRESSES). 

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 of Labor for Occupational 

Safety and Health on whether to grant 

ITSNA’s application for expansion of 

the scope of recognition. The Assistant 

Secretary will make the final decision 

on granting the application. 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 

the final decision in the Federal 

Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year 

satellite providers must submit royalty 

payments to the Register of Copyrights 

as required by the statutory license 

detailed in section 119 of the Copyright 

Act for the retransmission to satellite 

subscribers of over-the-air television 

broadcast signals. See 17 U.S.C. 119(b). 

The Copyright Royalty Judges (Judges) 

oversee distribution of royalties to 

copyright owners whose works were 

included in a qualifying transmission 

and who timely filed a claim for 

royalties. 

Allocation of the royalties collected 

occurs in one of two ways. In the first 

instance, the Judges may authorize 

distribution in accordance with a 

negotiated agreement among all 

claiming parties. 17 U.S.C. 119(b)(5)(A), 

801(b)(3)(A). If all claimants do not 

reach an agreement with respect to the 

royalties, the Judges must conduct a 

proceeding to determine the distribution 

of any royalties that remain in 

controversy. 17 U.S.C. 119(b)(5)(B), 

801(b)(3)(B). Alternatively, the Judges 

may, on motion of claimants and on 

notice to all interested parties, authorize 

a partial distribution of royalties, 

reserving on deposit sufficient funds to
