Department to solicit voluntary 

applications from employers for an 

award called the HIRE Vets Medallion 

Award. These awards are intended to 

recognize employer efforts to recruit, 

employ, and retain the Nation’s 

veterans. All employers who employ at 

least one employee are eligible to apply 

for the Award. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on January 19, 2024 

(89 FR 3697). 

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) if the 

information will be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) the accuracy of 

the agency’s estimates of the burden and 

cost of the collection of information,

This information collection is subject

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 OMB Control Number.

while they undergo review.

Nemko North America, 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 Nemko 

North America, Inc., as a Nationally 

Recognized Testing Laboratory. 

DATES: The expansion of the scope of 

recognition becomes effective on March 

27, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition of 

Nemko North America, Inc. (NNA) as a 

NRTL. NNA’s expansion covers the 

addition of one test standard 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 an application 

by a NRTL for initial recognition and for 

an expansion or renewal of this 

recognition, following requirements in 

Appendix A, 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 the 

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 NNA, 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. 

NNA submitted an application on 

September 20, 2023 (OSHA–2013– 

0016–0022), to expand the recognition 

to include one additional test standard. 

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 NNA’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

February 7, 2024 (89 FR 8451). The 

agency requested comments by February 

22, 2024, but it received no comments 

in response to this notice. OSHA is now 

proceeding with this final grant of 

expansion to NNA’s NRTL scope of 

recognition. 

Docket No. OSHA–2013–0016 

contains all materials in the record 

concerning NNA’s recognition. To 

obtain or review copies of all public 

documents pertaining to NNA’s 

expansion application, go to http://

www.regulations.gov. 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 NNA’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 NNA 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 NNA’s expanded scope of 

recognition. OSHA limits the expansion
