finding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Application

Notice is hereby given that Entela,

Inc. (ENT) has applied to the

Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA), pursuant to 29

CFR 1910.7, for an expansion of its

current recognition as a Nationally

Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).

ENT requests recognition for additional

test standards. ENT’s previous

application pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.7

was for an expansion of its recognition

(62 FR 8041, 2/21/97), which OSHA

granted on May 22, 1997 (62 FR 28066).

The address of the ENT laboratories

covered by this application are:

Entela, Inc., 3033 Madison, S.E., Grand

Rapids, Michigan 49548

Entela Taiwan Laboratories, 3F No. 260

262 Wen, Lin North Road, Pei Tou,

Taipei, Taiwan

Background

This Federal Register notice

announces ENT’s request for expansion

of recognition as a Nationally

Recognized Testing Laboratory for

additional test standards, dated

September 29, 1997 (see Exhibit 11). In

a recommendation dated February 17,

1998, staff for the NRTL Program

recommended that ENT’s recognition be

expanded to include the additional test

standards. The recommendation also

incorporated the limitations on the

recognition of the Taipei, Taiwan

facilities and personnel, when

applicable to the testing and evaluation

of products under the test standards

listed below. These limitations are

repeated herein.

In its request for expansion, ENT

included a specific reference to an

International Electrotechnical

Commission (IEC) standard for many of

the test standards listed below. Each

specific reference is apparently

intended to show the IEC standard

equivalent to the U.S. national test

standard requested. While there may be

some equivalence, this expansion of

recognition does not apply to or cover

any of the IEC standards referenced in

ENT’s current request for expansion.

This clarification is provided since it

may not be readily apparent to some

reviewers of the public record

concerning this notice.

ENT requests recognition for the

following standards when applicable to

equipment or materials that will be used

in environments under OSHA’s

jurisdiction. ENT desires recognition for

testing and certification of products

tested for compliance with these test

standards, which are appropriate within

the meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c):

Limitation

The following limitations apply to the

recognition of the Taiwan facility:

a. The Taiwan facility shall be limited

to carrying out minor mechanical and

electrical testing of instruments and

small appliances.

b. Performance of inspections shall be

limited to Entela personnel.

Preliminary Finding

Based upon a review of the complete

application, and the recommendations

of the staff, including the

recommendation dated February 17,

1998, the Assistant Secretary has made

a preliminary finding that Entela, Inc.

can meet the requirements as prescribed

by 29 CFR 1910.7 for the expansion of

its recognition to include the eleven (11)

test standards previously listed.

All interested members of the public

are invited to supply detailed reasons

and evidence supporting or challenging

the sufficiency of the applicant’s having

met the requirements for expansion of

its recognition as a Nationally

Recognized Testing Laboratory, as

required by 29 CFR 1910.7 and

Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7.

Submission of pertinent written

documents and exhibits shall be made

no later than the last date for comments

(see ‘‘DATES’’ above), and submitted to

the address provided above (see

‘‘ADDRESS’’). Copies of the ENT

application letters and supporting

documentation, the recommendation on

the programs and procedures, and all

submitted comments, as received, are

available for inspection and duplication

(under Docket No. NRTL–2–93) at the

Docket Office, Room N2634,

Occupational Safety and Health

Administration, U.S. Department of

Labor, at the above address.

The Assistant Secretary’s final

decision on whether the applicant

(Entela, Inc.) satisfies the requirements

for expansion of its recognition as an

NRTL will be made on the basis of the

entire record including the public

submissions and any further

proceedings that the Assistant Secretary

may consider to be appropriate in

accordance with Appendix A to Section

1910.7.

Signed at Washington, DC this 13th day of

April, 1998.

Assistant Secretary.

discuss waste package concepts for

direct disposal of commercial spent

nuclear fuel in a hypothetical repository

designed for Yucca Mountain in

Nevada.

The purpose of the workshop is to

develop a firm technical basis for the

Board to review and evaluate the

scientific and technical merits of any

waste package designs that may arise

from the Department of Energy’s

program for managing the geologic

disposal of commercial spent nuclear

fuel and high-level nuclear waste.

The workshop will be held at the

Doubletree Hotel at Tysons Corner, 7801

Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, Virginia;
