7710 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 13 / Wednesday, January 22, 2025 / Notices 

City, Taiwan and one in Gunpo-si, 

Gyeonggi-do, Korea. In total, the 

applications requested the addition of 

six sites and one test standard to the 

NRTL scope of recognition. 

OSHA staff performed a detailed 

analysis of the application packets and 

reviewed other pertinent information. 

OTPCA staff also performed on-site 

reviews of SGS’s Korea site on April 25 

and May 7, 2024; SGS’s two Taiwan 

sites on February 29–March 1, 2024; 

SGS’s Germany site on June 15–16, 

2023; SGS’s Belgium site on June 15–16, 

2023; and SGS’s Japan on May 9–10, 

2024, in which the assessors found 

some nonconformances with the 

requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. SGS 

addressed these issues sufficiently and 

OTPCA has preliminarily determined 

that OSHA should grant the application 

requests to add these six test sites and 

one test standard to SGS’s NRTL scope 

of recognition. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing SGS’s expansion 

applications in the Federal Register on 

November 5, 2024 (89 FR 87895). The 

agency requested comments by 

November 20, 2024, however no 

comments were received in response to 

this notice. OSHA is now proceeding 

with this notice to grant expansion to 

SGS’s scope of recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to the SGS 

expansion applications, go to 

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office (202) 693–2350 (TTY 

(877) 889–5627. Docket No. OSHA– 

2006–0040 contains all materials in the 

record containing SGS’s recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined SGS’s 

expansion applications, conducted 

detailed on-site assessments, and 

examined other pertinent information. 

Based on review of this evidence, OSHA 

finds that SGS 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 SGS’s scope of 

recognition. OSHA limits the expansion 

of SGS’s recognition to include the sites 

listed below:

Table 2 lists the one test standard 

included in SGS’s applications for 

expansion for testing and certification of 

products under the NRTL Program. 

TABLE 2—APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARD FOR INCLUSION IN SGS’S NRTL 

SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

ASME A17.5 .. Elevator and Escalator Electrical Equipment. 

OSHA’s recognition of the sites listed 

in table 1 above, limits SGS 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 SGS’s scope of recognition. 

This limitation is consistent with the 

recognition that OSHA grants to other 

NRTLs that operate multiple sites. 

OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for a 

particular test standard is limited to 

equipment or materials for which OSHA 

standards require third-party testing and 

certification before using them in the 

workplace. Consequently, if a test 

standard also covers any products for 

which OSHA does not require such 

testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope 

of recognition does not include these 

products. 

A. Conditions 

In addition to those conditions 

already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, SGS 

must abide by the following conditions 

of the recognition: 

1. SGS 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. SGS must meet all the terms of its 

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; 

and 

3. SGS must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

SGS’s scope of recognition, in all areas 

for which it has recognition. 

Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 

1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope 

of recognition of SGS as a NRTL, to 

include six recognized testing sites and 

one recognized test standard, subject to 

the limitations and conditions specified 

above.

Mine Safety and Health Administration 

Affirmative Decisions on Petitions for 

Modification Granted in Whole or in 

Part 

AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA), Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Mine Safety and 

Health Act of 1977 governs the 

application, processing, and disposition 

of petitions for modification of 

mandatory safety standards. Any mine 

operator or representative of miners may 

petition for an alternative method of 

complying with an existing safety 

standard. MSHA reviews the content of 

each submitted petition, assesses the 

mine in question, and ultimately issues 

a decision on the petition. This notice 

includes a list of petitions for 

modification that were granted after 

MSHA’s review and investigation, 

between July 1, 2024, and December 31, 

2024. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the final decisions 

are posted on MSHA’s website at 

https://www.msha.gov/regulations/ 

rulemaking/petitions-modification. The 

public may inspect the petitions and 

final decisions in person at MSHA. To 

arrange an in-person visit, call 202–693– 

9455 or contact 

petitionsformodification@dol.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: S. 

Aromie Noe, Director, Office of 

Standards, Regulations, and Variances

(facsimile). These are not toll-free 

numbers. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

Under section 101(c) of the Federal 

Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, any 

mine operator or representative of 

miners may petition to use an 

alternative approach to comply with a 

mandatory safety standard. In response, 

the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) or his 

or her designee may modify the 

application of a mandatory safety 

standard to that mine if the Secretary 

determines that: (1) An alternative 

method exists that will guarantee no 

less protection for the miners affected 

than that provided by the standard; or 

(2) the application of the standard will 

result in a diminution of safety to the 

affected miners. 

MSHA bases the final decision on the 

petitioner’s statements, any comments 

and information submitted by interested 

persons, and a field investigation of the 

conditions at the mine. In some 

instances, MSHA may approve a 

petition for modification on the 

condition that the mine operator 

complies with other requirements noted 

in the decision. In other instances, 

MSHA may deny, dismiss, or revoke a 

petition for modification. In accordance 

with 30 CFR 44.5, MSHA publishes 

every final action granting a petition for 

modification. 

II. Granted Petitions for Modification 

On the basis of the findings of 

MSHA’s investigation, and as designee 

of the Secretary, MSHA granted or 

partially granted the petitions for 

modification below. Since the previous 

Federal Register notice (89 FR 68208) 

included petitions granted through June 

30, 2024, the following are petitions 

granted between July 1, 2024, and 

December 31, 2024. The granted 

petitions are shown in the order that 

MSHA received them.
