SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal 

Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 

(Mine Act) Public Law 95–164, as 

amended, recognizes that education and 

training is an important element of 

Federal efforts to make the nation’s 

mines safe. Section 115(a) of the Mine 

Act states that ‘‘each operator of a coal 

or other mine shall have a health and 

safety training program which shall be 

approved by the Secretary.’’ 30 CFR 48.3 

and 48.23 require training plans for 

underground and surface mines, 

respectively. Training plans are required 

to be submitted for approval to the 

MSHA District Manager for the area in 

which the mine is located. These 

standards are intended to ensure that 

miners will be effectively trained in 

matters affecting their health and safety, 

with the goal of reducing the occurrence 

of injury and illness in the nation’s 

mines. For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on September 18, 2023 (88 FR 

63978). 

Comments are invited on: (1) whether 

the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimates of the burden and 

cost of the collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information collection; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

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 the OMB 

approves it and displays a currently

Administration (OSHA), Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In this notice, OSHA 

announces the final decision to expand 

the scope of recognition for UL LLC, as 

a Nationally Recognized Testing 

Laboratory (NRTL). Additionally, OSHA 

announces the final decision to add two 

test standards to the NRTL Program’s 

List of Appropriate Test Standards. 

DATES: The expansion of the scope of 

recognition becomes effective on April 

16, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

UL LLC, (UL) as a NRTL. UL’s 

expansion covers the addition of three 

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 

NRTLs or applicant organizations for 

initial recognition, as well as for 

expansion or renewal of 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 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 UL, which details 

that NRTL’s scope of recognition. These 

pages are available from the OSHA 

website at https://www.osha.gov/dts/ 

otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

UL submitted an application, dated 

July 26, 2022 (OSHA–2009–0025–0059) 

to expand the NRTL scope of 

recognition to include three additional 

test standards. OSHA staff performed a 

detailed analysis of the application 

packet and other pertinent information.

OSHA did not perform any on-site 

reviews in relation to these applications. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing UL’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

February 9, 2024 (89 FR 9179). The 

agency requested comments by February 

26, 2024, but it received no comments 

in response to this notice. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to the UL 

application, go to http://

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor. Docket No. OSHA–2009–0025 

contains all materials in the record 

concerning UL’s recognition. Contact 

the OSHA Docket Office at (202) 693– 

2350 (TTY (877) 889–5627) for 

assistance in locating docket 

submissions. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined UL’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 UL meets the requirements of 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its 

recognition, subject to the limitations 

and conditions listed in this notice. 

OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with 

this final notice to grant UL’s expanded 

scope of recognition. OSHA limits the 

expansion of UL’s recognition to testing 

and certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standards listed below in Table 1. 

TABLE 1—TEST STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN UL’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 6420 ..................... Equipment Use for System Isolation and Rated as a Single Unit. 

UL 6200 * ................... Controllers for Use in Power Production. 

UL 62091 * ................. Low-Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear—Controllers for Drivers of Stationary Fire Pump. 

* Represents the standards that OSHA will add to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards. 

In this notice, OSHA also announces 

the final decision to add two new test 

standards to the NRTL Program’s List of 

Appropriate Test Standards. Table 2 

below lists the standards that are new to 

the NRTL Program. OSHA has 

determined that these test standards are 

appropriate test standards and will add 

them to the NRTL Program’s List of 

Appropriate Test Standards. 

TABLE 2—STANDARDS OSHA WILL ADD TO THE NRTL PROGRAM’S LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 6200 ..................... Controllers for Use in Power Production. 

UL 62091 ................... Low-Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear—Controllers for Drivers of Stationary Fire Pump. 

The American National Standards 

Institute (ANSI) may approve the test 

standards listed above as American 

National Standards. However, for 

convenience, we may use the 

designation of the standards-developing 

organization for the standard as opposed 

to the ANSI designation. Under the 

NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA 

Instruction CPL 01–00–004, Chapter 2, 

Section VIII), 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, UL 

must abide by the following conditions 

of the recognition: 

1. UL 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. UL must meet all the terms of its 

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; 

and 

3. UL must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

UL’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 UL as a NRTL, subject 

to the limitations and conditions 

specified above. Additionally, OSHA 

will add two standards to the NRTL List 

of Appropriate Test Standards. 

III. Authority and Signature 

James S. Frederick, Deputy Assistant 

Secretary of Labor for Occupational 

Safety and Health, authorized the 

preparation of this notice. Accordingly, 

the agency is issuing this notice 

pursuant to 29 U.S.C. 657(g)(2), 

Secretary of Labor’s Order No. 8–2020 

(85 FR 58393, Sept. 18, 2020)), and 29 

CFR 1910.7. 

Signed at Washington, DC. 

James S. Frederick, 

Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for
