Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 44 / Monday, March 7, 2022 / Notices 12735 

V. Desired Focus of Comments 

As BLS pursues the current and 

planned engagement and informationgathering activities described above to 

support development of a new NLSY 

cohort, BLS is also interested in hearing 

directly from the public in response to 

this FRN. BLS is particularly interested 

in comments and recommendations on 

the following aspects of the new NLSY 

cohort: 

• Questionnaire content 

• Survey methodology 

• Sampling 

• Data dissemination 

The BLS welcomes comments on any 

aspect of the above areas and is 

especially interested in comments on: 

• Research questions that a new 

cohort of the National Longitudinal 

Surveys program would address at 

different points in the life course. 

• The distinctive role of NLSY 

cohorts among the range of survey and 

non-survey data sources. 

• Factors that inform researchers’ 

choice of data sources. 

• Modifications in the coverage of 

specific topics compared to previous 

NLSY cohorts. This could include any 

gaps in the current data, ‘must keep’ 

elements in the current data, or 

elements that are less valuable. 

• Uses of data from a new NLSY 

cohort that BLS should anticipate and 

prioritize (e.g., training of young 

researchers, benchmarking specialized 

samples, policy analysis, cross-cohort 

comparisons, basic research on human 

behavior, etc.). 

• Design and implementation features 

of a new NLSY cohort that users will 

find most valuable (e.g., accessible 

public use files, frequency of data 

collection, availability of biometric 

measures, oversamples of specific 

populations, linkage possibilities to 

selected administrative data, ease of use 

of data, alignment with other surveys, 

etc.). 

• New social and economic trends 

that are important to consider in 

designing a new NLSY cohort. 

• Any other issues BLS should 

consider in developing a new NLSY 

cohort. 

In addition, BLS is open to hearing 

from the public about how to improve 

its current stakeholder engagement 

plans to promote equitable and 

diversified feedback as a new NLSY 

cohort is developed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of 

the continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent (i.e., 

employer) burden, conducts a 

preclearance consultation program to 

provide the public with an opportunity 

to comment on proposed and 

continuing information collection 

requirements in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

ensures that information is in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and costs) is minimal, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) 

authorizes information collection by 

employers as necessary or appropriate 

for enforcement of the OSH Act or for 

developing information regarding the 

causes and prevention of occupational 

injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 

U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires 

that OSHA obtain such information 

with a minimum burden upon 

employers, especially those operating 

small businesses, and to reduce to the 

maximum extent feasible unnecessary 

duplication of efforts in obtaining said 

information (29 U.S.C. 657). 

The OSPP allows OSHA to enter into 

an extended, voluntary, cooperative 

relationship with groups of employers, 

employees, and representatives 

(sometimes including other 

stakeholders, and sometimes involving 

only one employer) to encourage, assist, 

and recognize their efforts to eliminate 

serious hazards and to achieve a high 

level of worker safety and health that 

goes beyond what historically has been 

achieved from traditional enforcement 

methods. Each OSHA Strategic 

Partnership (OSP) determines what 

information will be needed, determining 

the best collection method, and 

clarifying how the information will be 

used. At a minimum, each OSP must 

identify baseline injury and illness data 

corresponding to all summary line items 

on the OSHA 300 logs and must track 

changes at either the worksite level or 

participant-aggregate level. An OSP may 

also include other measures of success, 

such as training activity, selfinspections, and/or workers’ 

compensation data. In this regard, the 

information collection requirements for 

the OSPP are used by the agency to 

gauge the effectiveness of programs, 

identify needed improvements, and 

ensure that resources are being used 

effectively and appropriately. 

II. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed information 

collection requirements are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

agency’s functions, including whether 

the information is useful; 

• the accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of 

the burden (time and costs) of the 

information collection requirements, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• the quality, utility, and clarity of 

the information collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

employers who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information collection 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

The agency is requesting an 

adjustment increase of 4,466 burden 

hours of the previous approval from 

14,014 to 18,480 hours. The increase in 

burden is a result of increase in the 

number of employers and participants. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.

UL LLC: Grant of Expansion of 

Recognition and Modification to the 

NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate 

Test Standards 

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 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 March 

7, 2022. 

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, U.S. Department of 

Labor, telephone: (202) 693–1999; 

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, U.S. Department 

of Labor, phone: (202) 693–2110 or 

email: robinson.kevin@dol.gov. 

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 eleven test 

standards to the NRTL scope of 

recognition, two of which OSHA will 

add to the NRTL Program’s List of 

Appropriate Test Standards. 

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 

and is not a delegation or grant of 

government authority. As a result of 

recognition, employers may use 

products properly approved by the 

NRTL to meet OSHA standards that 

require testing and certification of the 

products. 

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 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 

the NRTL’s scope of recognition. These 

pages are available from the OSHA 

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

otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

UL submitted an application, dated 

May 23, 2019, to expand their 

recognition as a NRTL to include twelve 

additional test standards (OSHA–2009– 

0025–0038). This application was 

amended to remove one standard from 

the original request (OSHA–2009–0025– 

0039). The expansion would add eleven 

additional test standards to UL’s 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. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing UL’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

January 26, 2022 (87 FR 4053). The 

agency requested comments by February 

10, 2022, but it received no comments 

in response to this notice. OSHA is now 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant expansion of UL’s scope of 

recognition and modification to the 

NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate 

Test Standards. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to UL’s 

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. Please 

note: Due to the COVID–19 pandemic, 

the Docket Office is closed to the public 

at this time but can be contacted at (202) 

693–2350 (TTY ((877) 889–5627). 

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 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.
