SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that CSA 

Group Testing & Certification Inc. 

(CSA), is applying for expansion of the 

current recognition as a NRTL. CSA 

requests the addition of one test 

standard to the NRTL scope of 

recognition. 

OSHA’s 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 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 a 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 CSA, 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. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

CSA submitted an application to 

OSHA for expansion of the NRTL scope 

of recognition on May 30, 2024 (OSHA– 

2006–0042–0045), requesting the 

addition of one standard to the NRTL 

scope of recognition. OSHA staff 

performed a detailed analysis of the 

application packet and reviewed other 

pertinent information. OSHA did not 

perform an on-site review in response to 

this application. OSHA staff has 

preliminarily determined that OSHA 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
107168 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 250 / Tuesday, December 31, 2024 / Notices 

should grant the application for test 

standard expansion. 

Table 1, below, lists the appropriate 

test standard found in CSA’s application 

for expansion for testing and 

certification of products under the 

NRTL Program. 

TABLE 1—PROPOSED APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARD FOR INCLUSION IN CSA’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 60335–2–40 ... Household and Similar Electrical Appliances—Safety—Part 2–40: Particular Requirements for Electrical Heat Pumps, AirConditioners and Dehumidifiers. 

III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

CSA submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application files and pertinent 

documentation indicates that CSA has 

met the requirements prescribed by 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expanding the 

recognition to include the addition of 

the one test standard for NRTL testing 

and certification listed in Table 1. This 

preliminary finding does not constitute 

an interim or temporary approval of 

CSA’s application. 

OSHA seeks comment on this 

preliminary determination. 

IV. Public Participation 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether CSA meets the requirements 

of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of 

recognition as a NRTL. Comments 

should consist of pertinent written 

documents and exhibits. 

Commenters needing more time to 

comment must submit a request in 

writing, stating the reasons for the 

request by the due date for comments. 

OSHA will limit any extension to 10 

days unless the requester justifies a 

longer time period. OSHA may deny a 

request for an extension if it is not 

adequately justified. 

To review copies of the exhibits 

identified in this notice, as well as 

comments submitted to the docket, 

contact the Docket Office, Occupational 

Safety and Health Administration, U.S. 

Department of Labor. These materials 

also are generally available online at 

https://www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. OSHA–2006–0042 (for 

further information, see the ‘‘Docket’’ 

heading in the section of this notice 

titled ADDRESSES). 

OSHA staff will review all comments 

to the docket submitted in a timely 

manner. After addressing the issues 

raised by these comments, staff will 

make a recommendation to the Assistant 

Secretary of Labor for Occupational 

Safety and Health on whether to grant 

CSA’s application for expansion of the 

scope of recognition. The Assistant 

Secretary will make the final decision 

on granting the application. In making 

this decision, the Assistant Secretary 

may undertake other proceedings 

prescribed in Appendix A to 29 CFR 

1910.7. 

OSHA will publish a public notice of 

the final decision in the Federal 

Register.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 70–7004; NRC–2024–0219] 

American Centrifuge Operating, LLC; 

American Centrifuge Plant; 

Environmental Assessment and 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice; issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering 

amending Special Nuclear Material 

(SNM) License No. SNM–2011, issued 

on April 13, 2007, to American 

Centrifuge Operating, LLC (ACO) for the 

operation of the American Centrifuge 

Plant (ACP). The NRC is considering 

extending authorization of the highassay, low-enriched uranium (HALEU) 

demonstration program operations to 

continue beyond December 31, 2024, 

through June 30, 2025. In the event of 

an extension of ACO’s HALEU contract 

with the U.S. Department of Energy 

(DOE), potentially the authorization 

would be extended through the revised 

contract period. For this proposed 

action, the NRC staff is issuing an 

environmental assessment (EA) and 

finding of no significant impact 

(FONSI). 

DATES: The EA and FONSI referenced in 

this document are available on 

December 31, 2024.
