and other emergency evacuation 

personnel will use the notations on the 

maps should a rescue or recovery 

operation be necessary. Miners use the 

escapeway maps in training and during 

mine evacuations. Escapeway maps are 

required to be posted or readily 

accessible for all miners in each 

working section, areas where 

mechanized mining equipment is being 

installed or removed, at surface 

locations where miners congregate, and 

in each refuge alternative. The persons 

that test SCSRs are required to certify 

that the tests were completed and record 

all corrective actions. 

MSHA inspectors use these records to 

determine compliance with the 

standards which includes requirements 

for compiling, maintaining, and 

reporting an inventory of all SCSRs at 

the mine, and for reporting defects, 

performance problems, or malfunctions 

with SCSRs. This will assure that 

MSHA can investigate SCSR problems, 

if necessary, notify other users of these 

problems before accidents occur, and 

require manufacturers to address 

potential problems with these critical 

devices. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

MSHA is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed information 

collection related to Emergency Mine 

Evacuation. MSHA is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information has practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

• Suggest methods to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

The information collection request 

will be available on http://

www.regulations.gov. MSHA cautions 

the commenter against providing any 

information in the submission that 

should not be publicly disclosed. Full 

comments, including personal 

information provided, will be made 

available on www.regulations.gov and 

www.reginfo.gov. 

The public may also examine publicly 

available documents at DOL–MSHA, 

Office of Standards, Regulations, and 

Variances, 201 12th Street South, Suite 

4E401, Arlington, VA 22202–5452. Sign 

in at the receptionist’s desk on the 4th 

floor via the East elevator. Before 

visiting MSHA in person, call 202–693– 

9455 to make an appointment, in 

keeping with the Department of Labor’s 

COVID–19 policy. Special health 

precautions may be required. 

Questions about the information 

collection requirements may be directed 

to the person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION section of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

OSHA is providing notice that 

Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. 

(ITSNA), is applying for expansion of 

the current recognition as a NRTL. 

ITSNA requests the addition of one test 

standard 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 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 ITSNA, which 

details the NRTL’s scope of recognition. 

These pages are available from the 

OSHA website at https://www.osha.gov/ 

dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

ITSNA currently has thirteen facilities 

(sites) recognized by OSHA for product 

testing and certification, with the 

headquarters located at: Intertek Testing 

Services NA, Inc., 545 East Algonquin 

Road, Suite F, Arlington Heights, 

Illinois 60005. A complete list of 

ITSNA’s scope of recognition is 

available at https://www.osha.gov/ 

nationally-recognized-testinglaboratory-program/its. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

ITSNA submitted one application, 

dated November 23, 2021 (OSHA–2007– 

0039–0035), to expand the recognition 

to include one additional test standard. 

The standard requested in the 

expansion application is a replacement 

standard for ISA 12.12.01, which is 

currently included in ITSNA’s NRTL 

scope of recognition. 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. 

Table 1, below, lists the appropriate 

test standard found in ITSNA’s 

application for expansion for testing and 

certification of products under the 

NRTL Program. 

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

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 121201 ............. Nonincendive Electrical Equipment for Use in Class I and Class II, Division 2 and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2 Hazardous 

(Classified) Locations. 

III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

ITSNA submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of the scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application file, and pertinent 

documentation, indicate that ITSNA 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 

ITSNA’s application. 

OSHA seeks comment on this 

preliminary determination. 

IV. Public Participation 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether ITSNA 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–2007–0039 (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 

ITSNA’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.
