The American National Standards 

Institute (ANSI) may approve the test 

standards listed above as American 

National Standards. However, for 

convenience, we may use the 

designation of the standards-developing 

organization for the standard as opposed 

to the ANSI designation. Under the 

NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA 

Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix C, 

paragraph XIV), 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, MET 

must abide by the following conditions 

of the recognition: 

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

recognition and comply with all OSHA 

policies pertaining to this recognition; 

and 

3. MET must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

MET’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 MET, subject to the 

limitation and conditions specified 

above.

Division of Federal Employees’ 

Compensation Proposed Extension of 

Existing Collection; Comment Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95). This program helps to ensure 

that requested data can be provided in 

the desired format, reporting burden 

(time and financial resources) is 

minimized, collection instruments are 

clearly understood, and the impact of 

collection requirements on respondents 

can be properly assessed. Currently, the 

Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed collection: 

Claim for Continuance of Compensation 

(CA–12). A copy of the proposed 

information collection request can be 

obtained by contacting the office listed 

below in the addresses section of this 

Notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

addresses section below on or before 

June 5, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Ms. Yoon Ferguson, U.S. 

Department of Labor, 200 Constitution 

Ave. NW., Room S–3323, Washington, 

DC 20210, telephone/fax (202) 354– 

9647, Email Ferguson.Yoon@dol.gov. 

Please use only one method of 

transmission for comments (mail, fax, or 

Email). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs administers the Federal 

Employees’ Compensation Act, 5 U.S.C. 

8133. Under the Act, eligible 

dependents of deceased employees 

receive compensation benefits on 

account of the employee’s death. OWCP 

has to monitor death benefits for current 

marital status, potential for dual 

benefits, and other criteria for qualifying 

as a survivor under the law. The CA–12 

is sent annually to beneficiaries in death 

cases to verify that their status has not 

changed and that they remain entitled to 

benefits. The information collected is 

used by OWCP claims examiners to help 

ensure that death benefits being paid are 

correct, and that payments are not made 

to ineligible survivors. This information 

collection is currently approved for use 

through July 31, 2017. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

* Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

* evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information,
