UL LLC: 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 UL LLC as 

a Nationally Recognized Testing 

Laboratory (NRTL). 

DATES: The expansion of the scope of 

recognition becomes effective on 

December 27, 2024.

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;

General and technical information: 

Contact Mr. Kevin Robinson, Director, 

Office of Technical Programs and 

Coordination Activities, Directorate of

of Labor, phone: (202) 693–2300 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 one 

test site 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 applications by 

a NRTL for initial recognition, as well 

as for an expansion or renewal of 

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 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 UL, which details that NRTL’s 

scope of recognition. These pages are 

available from the OSHA website at 

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

index.html. 

UL submitted an application, dated 

November 29, 2022 (OSHA–2009–0025– 

0066), to expand recognition as a NRTL 

to include one additional test site 

located at: Uiwang (LAB), Obongsandan 

1-Ro, 42, Uiwang-Si, Gyeonggi-Do 

Uiwang 16079, South Korea. OSHA staff 

performed an on-site review of UL’s 

testing facilities at UL Uiwang on May 

8–9, 2024, in which assessors found 

some nonconformances with the 

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. UL has 

addressed these issues sufficiently, and 

OSHA staff has preliminarily 

determined that OSHA should grant the 

application. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing UL’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

October 25, 2024 (89 FR 85249). The 

agency requested comments by 

November 12, 2024, but it received no 

comments in response to this notice. 

OSHA is now proceeding with this 

notice to grant expansion to UL’s scope 

of recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to the UL 

expansion application, go to 

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office (202) 693–2350 (TTY 

(877) 889–5627. Docket No. OSHA– 

2009–0025 contains all materials in the 

record containing UL’s recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined UL’s expansion 

application, conducted a detailed onsite assessment, and examined other 

pertinent information. Based on review 

of this evidence, OSHA finds that UL 

meets the requirements of 29 CFR 

1910.7 for expansion of recognition, 

subject to the specified limitations and 

conditions. OSHA, therefore, is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant UL’s scope of recognition. OSHA 

limits the expansion of UL’s recognition 

to include the site at Uiwang, Korea as 

listed above. OSHA’s recognition of the 

site limits UL to performing product 

testing and certifications only to the test 

standards for which the site has the 

proper capability and programs, and for 

test standards in UL’s scope of 

recognition. This limitation is consistent 

with the recognition that OSHA grants 

to other NRTLs that operate multiple 

sites. 

A. Conditions 

In addition to those conditions 

already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, UL

1With respect to the rates for the 2020–2024 

period, the Judges adopted a settlement proposed 

by the participants to leave the then-current rates 

unchanged. 86 FR 72845, 72846 (Dec. 23, 2021). 

also must abide by the following 

conditions of the recognition: 

1. UL must inform OSHA as soon as 

possible, in writing, of any change of 

ownership, facilities, or key personnel, 

and of any major change in its 

operations as a NRTL, and provide 

details of the change(s); 

2. UL must meet all the terms of its 

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; 

and 

3. UL must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

UL’s scope of recognition, in all areas 

for which it has recognition. 

OSHA hereby expands the NRTL 

scope of recognition for UL to include 

one additional test site in Uiwang, 

Korea.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 111 of the Copyright Act 

grants a statutory copyright license to 

cable television systems for the 

retransmission of over-the-air television 

and radio broadcast stations to their 

subscribers. 17 U.S.C. 111(c). In 

exchange for the license, cable operators 

submit royalty payments and statements 

of account detailing their 

retransmissions semiannually to the 

Copyright Office. 17 U.S.C. 111(d)(1). 

The Copyright Office deposits the 

royalties into the United States Treasury 

for later distribution to copyright 

owners of the broadcast programming 

that the cable systems retransmit. 17 

U.S.C. 111(d)(2). 

A cable system calculates its royalty 

payments in accordance with the 

statutory formula described in 17 U.S.C. 

111(d)(1). See 37 CFR part 387. Royalty 

rates are based upon a cable system’s 

gross receipts from subscribers who 

receive retransmitted broadcast signals. 

For rate calculation purposes, cable 

systems are divided into three tiers 

based on their gross receipts (small, 

medium, and large). 17 U.S.C. 

111(d)(1)(B) through (F). Both the 

applicable rates and the tiers are subject 

to adjustment. 17 U.S.C. 801(b)(2). 

Section 804 of the Copyright Act 

provides that the gross receipts and 

royalty rates may be adjusted every five 

years beginning with 2005, thus making 

2025 a royalty adjustment year, upon 

the filing of a petition to initiate a 

proceeding. 17 U.S.C. 804(b)(1). 

However, since no petition has been 

filed pursuant to section 804(b)(1), 

section 803(b)(1)(A)(i)(V) requires the 

Judges to publish a Federal Register 

notice no later than January 5, 2025, 

commencing this proceeding. 

No person with a significant interest 

has filed a petition to initiate a 

proceeding in 2024.1 The Judges must, 

therefore, publish notice in the Federal 

Register announcing the 

commencement of a proceeding and 

calling for Petitions to Participate. See 

17 U.S.C. 803(b)(1). 

Petitions to Participate 

Parties filing Petitions to Participate 

should use the interactive form in eCRB, 

instead of uploading a document, and 

must comply with the requirements of 

§ 351.1(b) of the Copyright Royalty 

Board’s regulations. 

Dated: December 19, 2024. 

David P. Shaw, 

Chief Copyright Royalty Judge.
