SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies 

that the organization meets the 

requirements in section 1910.7 of title 

29, Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR 

1910.7). Recognition is an 

acknowledgment that the organization 

can perform independent safety testing 

and certification of the specific products 

covered within its 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. OSHA 

maintains an informational web page for 

each NRTL that details its scope of 

recognition available at http://

www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/ 

index.html. 

OSHA processes applications by a 

NRTL for renewal of recognition 

following requirements in appendix A 

to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA conducts 

renewals in accordance with the 

procedures in 29 CFR 1910.7, Appendix 

A, paragraph II.C. In accordance with 

these procedures, NRTLs submit a 

renewal request to OSHA, not less than 

nine months or no more than one year, 

before the expiration date of its current 

recognition. The submission includes a 

request for renewal and any additional 

information the NRTL wishes to submit 

to demonstrate its continued 

compliance with the terms of its 

recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7. If OSHA 

has not conducted an on-site assessment 

of the NRTL’s headquarters and key 

sites within the past 18 to 24 months, 

it will schedule the necessary on-site 

assessments prior to the expiration date 

of the NRTL’s recognition. Upon review 

of the submitted material and, as 

necessary, the successful completion of 

the on-site assessment, OSHA 

announces its preliminary decision to 

grant or deny renewal in the Federal 

Register and solicit comments from the 

public. OSHA then publishes a final 

Federal Register notice responding to 

any comments and renewing the NRTL’s 

recognition for a period of five years, or 

denying the renewal of recognition. 

BACL initially received OSHA 

recognition as a NRTL on April 6, 2017 

(82 FR 16856) for a five-year period that 

ends on April 6, 2022. BACL submitted 

a timely request for renewal, dated July 

7, 2021 (OSHA–2016–0022–0013), and 

retains its recognition pending OSHA’s 

final decision in this renewal process. 

The current address of the BACL facility 

recognized by OSHA and included as 

part of the renewal request is: 

• Bay Area Compliance Laboratories 

Corporation, 1274 Anvilwood Avenue, 

Sunnyvale, California 94089. 

II. Notice of Preliminary Findings 

OSHA is providing notice that BACL 

is applying for renewal of its recognition 

as a NRTL. This renewal covers BACL’s 

existing NRTL scope of recognition. 

OSHA evaluated BACL’s application for 

renewal and preliminarily determined 

that BACL can continue to meet the 

requirements prescribed by 29 CFR 

1910.7 for recognition. Accordingly, 

OSHA is making a preliminary 

determination that it does not need to 

conduct an additional on-site review of 

BACL’s facility based on its evaluations 

of BACL’s application and all other 

available information. This information 

includes OSHA’s most recent audit of 

BACL’s NRTL recognized site during 

this recognition period, and the 

satisfactory resolution of nonconformances with the requirements of 

29 CFR 1910.7. This preliminary finding 

does not constitute an interim or 

temporary approval of the request. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether BACL meets the 

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

renewal of its recognition as a NRTL. 

Comments should consist of pertinent 

written documents and exhibits.

Mail Classification Schedule 

AGENCY: Postal Regulatory Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Commission is 

recognizing a recent Postal Service filing 

requesting the transfer of Post Office 

Box service at a small number of 

selected locations from the market 

dominant to the competitive product 

list. This notice informs the public of 

the filing, invites public comment, and 

takes other administrative steps. 

DATES: Comments are due: April 29, 

2022. Reply comments are due: May 13, 

2022. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments 

electronically via the Commission’s 

Filing Online system at https://

www.prc.gov. Those who cannot submit 

comments electronically should contact 

the person identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section by

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

David A. Trissell, General Counsel, at 

202–789–6820. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

16, 2022, the Postal Service filed a 

request under 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 

CFR 3040.130, et seq. to transfer Post 

Office Box service at a small number of 

selected locations from the market 

dominant to the competitive product 

list.1

Background. The Commission has 

previously approved two Postal Service 

requests to transfer Post Office Box 

service from the market dominant 

product list to the competitive product 

list. By Order No. 473 2 and Order No. 

780,3 the Commission approved the 

transfer of approximately 6,800 

locations to the competitive product list. 

Request at 1. The Postal Service states 

that the requests were based upon 

whether the Post Office Box customers 

had sufficient access to private mailbox 

service providers. Id. The Postal Service 

further states that at the time of its 

requests, ‘‘it was conducting further 

evaluations of all Post Office Box 

locations and might in the future seek 

the transfer of additional locations, if 

warranted, as it develops its 

understanding of the mailbox service 

market.’’ Id. at 1–2 (footnote omitted). It 

further states that based on Commission 

approved criteria, it expanded the 

competitive service to one additional 

location in 2013, to 1,625 locations in 

2014 and to 227 locations in 2021. Id. 

at 2. 

Having recently completed further 

evaluation of the criteria that indicate 

competitive status, the Postal Service 

requests the Commission to transfer an 

additional 297 locations from the 

market dominant to the competitive 

Post Office Box fee group. Id. The Postal 

Service requests the Commission to 

update the criteria applied to competitor 

locations to build upon the existing fivemile criterion and extend it by three 

miles to a range of eight miles. Id. The 

Request claims recent market research 

‘‘shows customers are willing to travel 

longer distances for P.O. Box service 

than the current five-mile criterion 

recognizes.’’ Id. It notes that the request 

for 297 locations represent a very small 

proportion of the 32,788 locations 

offering Post Office Box service. Id. 

Supporting materials. To support its 

Request, the Postal Service filed the 

following attachments: 

• Attachment A—Resolution of the 

Governors of the United States Postal 

Service, Transfer of Selected Post Office 

Box Service Locations to the 

Competitive Product List, May 6, 2021 

(Resolution No. 21–12); 

• Attachment B—Statement of 

Supporting Justification; and 

• Attachment C—Proposed Mail 

Classification Schedule Changes. 

Notice of filings. The Commission 

establishes Docket No. MC2022–46 to 

consider the Postal Service’s proposals 

described in its Request. 

Interested persons may submit 

comments on whether the Request is 

consistent with the policies of 39 U.S.C. 

3642, 39 CFR 3040.130 et seq., and the

are due by April 29, 2022. Reply 

comments are due by May 13, 2022. The 

Request and related filings are available
