I. Background 

EOIR is hosting the first of a series of 

public engagement sessions regarding 

the Access EOIR Initiative. See 

Executive Office for Immigration 

Review, EOIR Announces ‘‘Access 

EOIR’’ Initiative: Agency Launches New 

Counsel and Training Programs (Sept. 

28, 2021), available at https://

www.justice.gov/eoir/pr/eoirannounces-access-eoir-initiative. Access 

EOIR is intended to improve access to 

pertinent information and resources for 

respondents and practitioners appearing 

before the immigration courts and 

general information of interest to the 

public. Two efforts of the initiative will 

be the focus of the online public forum 

on March 30, 2022. 

The first effort that will be addressed 

is ECAS, which is part of an overarching 

information technology modernization 

effort at EOIR. ECAS was first 

introduced in July 2018 to phase out 

paper filing and processing and to retain 

all records and case-related documents 

in electronic format. ECAS supports the 

full life cycle of immigration cases 

including: Electronic filing of court and 

appeals documents, processing and 

receiving filings, maintaining electronic 

Records of Proceedings (eROPs), 

preparing case information, conducting 

a hearing, and adjudicating appeals. 

ECAS is now fully implemented at all 

immigration courts and adjudication 

centers and at the Board of Immigration 

Appeals, and as of February 11, 2022, 

DHS and all attorneys and fully 

accredited representatives are required 

to electronically file documents in all 

cases eligible for electronic filing. 8 CFR 

1003.2(g)(4), 1003.31(a); see also 

Executive Office for Immigration 

Review Electronic Case Access and 

Filing, 86 FR 70708 (Dec. 13, 2021) 

(final rule implementing mandatory 

electronic filing in eligible cases). 

The second system that will be 

addressed is ICOR, which is a webbased and mobile friendly tool that 

provides respondents, practitioners, and 

other interested parties with a 

centralized location for resources 

pertaining to immigration proceedings 

before EOIR. ICOR provides information 

to help respondents learn about and 

prepare for immigration proceedings, 

including a tool to access general 

information about the forms of relief 

and protection from removal. ICOR also 

provides information for practitioners, 

including information on practice before 

EOIR’s adjudicators. Currently, ICOR is 

available in English, Spanish, Chinese, 

Haitian Creole, Portuguese, and Punjabi. 

II. Agenda 

From 2:00–3:00 p.m. EDT on March 

30, 2022, members of the public are 

invited to provide feedback on ECAS 

and its recent implementation 

nationwide. Feedback that would be 

most useful to the agency would include 

comments—either positive or negative— 

related to the ECAS user experience, 

along with any suggestions for 

improvements to ECAS now that its 

functionalities have been fully 

implemented. 

From 3:00–4:00 p.m. EDT on March 

30, 2022, members of the public are 

invited to provide feedback on ICOR. 

The agency similarly welcomes all 

feedback from the public, whether 

positive or negative, regarding the 

utility and functionality of ICOR, along 

with any suggestions for changes or 

improvements to ICOR. 

Public Participation 

This meeting is open to all members 

of the public who RSVP to 

EngagewithEOIR@usdoj.gov by 5:00 

p.m. EDT on March 28, 2022, with the 

name(s) of the attendee(s), any relevant 

organization, and a valid email address. 

EOIR will send webinar information and 

an agenda to those who RSVP. 

Attendance for this program will be 

limited to 500 participants. 

In addition, EOIR welcomes written 

feedback from the public on these 

topics. Written submissions are due no 

later than 5:00 p.m. EDT on Friday, 

April 29, 2022. 

All media inquiries should be 

directed to the Communications and 

Legislative Affairs Division at pao.eoir@

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 (PRA) 

(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, the 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 minimum burden upon employers, 

especially those operating small 

businesses, and to reduce to the 

maximum extent feasible unnecessary 

duplication of effort in obtaining 

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

The following sections describe who 

uses the information collected under 

each requirement, as well as how they 

use it. The purpose of these 

requirements is to reduce employees’ 

risk of death or serious injury by 

ensuring that employment has been 

tested and is in safe operating condition. 

The Standard entitled ‘‘Occupational 

Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in 

Laboratories’’ (29 CFR 1910.1450; the 

‘‘Standard’’) applies to laboratories that 

use hazardous chemicals in accord with 

the Standard’s definitions for 

‘‘laboratory use of hazardous chemicals’’ 

and ‘‘laboratory scale.’’ The Standard 

requires these laboratories to maintain 

worker exposures at or below the 

permissible exposure limits specified 

for the hazardous chemicals in 29 CFR 

part 1910, subpart Z. The laboratories 

do so by developing a written Chemical 

Hygiene Plan (CHP) that describes the 

following: Standard operating 

procedures for using hazardous 

chemicals; hazard-control techniques; 

equipment-reliability measures; worker 

information and training programs; 

conditions under which the employer 

must approve operations, procedures, 

and activities before implementation; 

and medical consultations and 

examinations. The CHP also designates 

personnel responsible for implementing 

the CHP and specifies the procedures to 

be used to provide additional protection 

to workers exposed to particularly 

hazardous chemicals. 

Other information collection 

requirements of the Standard include: 

Documenting exposure monitoring 

results; notifying workers in writing of 

these results; presenting specified 

information and training to workers; 

establishing a medical surveillance 

program for overexposed workers; 

providing required information to the 

physician; obtaining the physician’s 

written opinion on using proper 

respiratory equipment; and establishing, 

maintaining, transferring, and disclosing 

exposure monitoring and medical 

records. These collection of information 

requirements, including the CHP, 

control worker overexposure to 

hazardous laboratory chemicals, thereby 

preventing serious illnesses and death 

among workers exposed to such 

chemicals. 

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 to protect workers, 

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 

OSHA is requesting an adjustment 

increase in the existing burden hour 

estimate for the collection of 

information requirements in the 

Standard. The agency is requesting to 

increase the current burden hour 

estimate from 695,105 to 832,036 hours 

for a total increase of 136,931 hours. 

The increase is due to an increase in the 

worker and establishment estimates for 

this ICR. Additionally, the capital cost 

estimate increased from $79,770,481 to 

$94,198,596 for a total increase of 

$14,428,115. This increase is a result of 

an increase in the number of workers 

requiring medical consultations and 

medical examinations. 

OSHA will summarize the comments 

submitted in response to this notice and 

will include this summary in the 

request to OMB to extend the approval 

of the information collection 

requirements. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.

announces the final decision to expand 

the scope of recognition for TUV SUD 

America, Inc. 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 

28, 2022.

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 

TUV SUD America, Inc. (TUVAM) as a 

NRTL. TUVAM’s expansion covers the 

addition of eight 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 TUVAM, 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. 

TUVAM submitted an application, 

dated May 26, 2021, to expand their 

recognition as a NRTL to include eight 

additional test standards (OSHA–2007– 

0043–0038). 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 TUVAM’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

February 18, 2022 (87 FR 9387). The 

agency requested comments by March 7, 

2022, but it received no comments in 

response to this notice. OSHA is now 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant expansion of TUVAM’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 

TUVAM’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–2007–0043 

contains all materials in the record 

concerning TUVAM’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 TUVAM’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 TUVAM 

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 TUVAM’s scope of recognition. 

OSHA limits the expansion of TUVAM’s 

recognition to testing and certification 

of products for demonstration of 

conformance to the test standards listed 

below in Table 1.
