Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 98 / Friday, May 20, 2022 / Notices 31001 

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 information collection 

requirements in the DBCP Standard 

provide protection for workers from the 

adverse health effects associated with 

exposure to DBCP. In this regard, the 

DBCP Standard requires employers to: 

monitor workers’ exposure to DBCP; 

monitor worker health and provide 

workers with information about their 

exposures and the health effects of 

exposure to DBCP. 

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 

EPA canceled the registration of 1,2- 

dibromo-3-chloropropane in 1985. 

According to the TRI (Toxic Release 

Inventory) (2017), a single facility was 

associated with 1,2-dibromo-3- 

chloropropane in the United States in 

2016. This facility is a waste disposal 

company in Ohio. (https://

www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp36- 

c5.pdf). This information will not affect 

the 1-hour place holder for burden 

purposes because there are less than 10 

respondents (industry) that currently 

follow the standard. There are no 

program changes or adjustments 

associated with this ICR. 

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. 

Title: The 1,2-Dibromo-3- 

Chloropropane (DBCP) Standard (29 

CFR 1910.1044). 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0101. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 1. 

Number of Responses: 1. 

Frequency of Responses: On occasion. 

Average Time per Response: N/A. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Final Decision 

OSHA hereby gives notice of the 

expansion of the scope of recognition 

for SGS North America, Inc. (SGS) as a 

NRTL. SGS’s expansion covers the 

addition of two test standards 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 

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, or for 

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 the 

preliminary finding and, 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 

that details the scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

agency’s website at http://

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

index.html. 

SGS submitted an application to 

OSHA to expand the scope of 

recognition as a NRTL to include six 

additional test standards on April 19, 

2018 (OSHA–2006–0040–0074). This 

application was amended on January 19, 

2022 (OSHA–2006–0040–0075), to 

remove four standards from the original 

application. 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 SGS’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

March 21, 2022 (87 FR 16031). The 

agency requested comments by April 5, 

2022, but it received no comments in 

response to this notice. OSHA is now 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant expansion to SGS’s scope of 

recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to SGS’s 

application, go to http://

www.regulations.gov or contact the 

Docket Office, Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration, U.S. Department 

of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, 

Room N–3653, Washington, DC 20210. 

Docket No. OSHA–2006–0040 contains 

all materials in the record concerning 

SGS’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. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined SGS’s 

expansion application, the capability to 

meet the requirements of the test 

standards, and other pertinent 

information. Based on the review of this 

evidence, OSHA finds that SGS meets 

the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for 

expansion of the NRTL scope of 

recognition, subject to the limitation 

and conditions listed below. OSHA, 

therefore, is proceeding with this final 

notice to grant SGS’s scope of 

recognition. OSHA limits the expansion 

of SGS’s recognition to testing and 

certification of products for 

demonstration of conformance to the 

test standards listed in Table 1. 

TABLE 1—LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST

STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN

SGS’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 991 ........... Tests for Safety-Related 

Controls Employing SolidState Devices. 

UL 2111 ......... Overheating Protection for 

Motors. 

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. 

The American National Standards 

Institute (ANSI) may approve the test 

standards listed above as American 

National Standards. However, for 

convenience, the use of the designation 

of the standards-developing 

organization for the standard as opposed 

to the ANSI designation may occur. 

Under the NRTL Program’s policy (see 

OSHA Instruction CPL 01–00–004, 

Chapter 2, Section VIII), only standards 

determined to be appropriate test 

standards may be approved for NRTL 

recognition. Any NRTL recognized for a 

particular test standard may use either 

the proprietary version of the test 

standard or the ANSI version of that 

standard. Contact ANSI to determine 

whether a test standard is currently 

ANSI-approved. 

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 their 

operations as a NRTL, and provide 

details of the change(s); 

2. SGS must meet all the terms of the 

NRTL 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, subject to the 

limitations and conditions specified 

above. 

III. Authority and Signature 

James S. Frederick, Deputy Assistant 

Secretary of Labor for Occupational 

Safety and Health, authorized the 

preparation of this notice. Accordingly, 

the agency is issuing this notice 

pursuant to 29 U.S.C. 657(g)(2), 

Secretary of Labor’s Order No. 8–2020 

(85 FR 58393, Sept. 18, 2020)), and 29 

CFR 1910.7. 

Signed at Washington, DC, on May 12, 

2022.
