60054 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 241 / Monday, December 18, 2017 / Notices 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

MET submitted four applications, one 

dated July 7, 2015 (OSHA–2006–0028– 

0037), two dated December 14, 2016 

(OSHA–2006–0028–0038 and OSHA– 

2006–0028–0039), and a fourth dated 

January 11, 2017 (OSHA–2006–0028– 

0040), to expand its recognition to 

include four additional test standards. 

OSHA staff performed a detailed 

analysis of the application packets and 

reviewed other pertinent information. 

OSHA did not perform any on-site 

reviews in relation to these applications. 

Table 1 below lists the appropriate 

test standards found in MET’s 

applications for expansion for testing 

and certification of products under the 

NRTL Program. 

TABLE 1—PROPOSED LIST OF APPROPRIATE TEST STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION IN MET’S NRTL SCOPE OF RECOGNITION

UL 50E ..................... Enclosures for Electrical Equipment, Environmental Considerations. 

UL 60079–1 ............. Standard for Explosive Atmospheres—Part 1: Equipment Protection by Flameproof Enclosures ‘‘d’’. 

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

Conditioners and Dehumidifiers. 

UL 61800–5–1 ......... Standard for Adjustable Speed Electrical Power Drive Systems—Part 5–1: Safety Requirements—Electrical, Thermal and 

Energy. 

III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

MET submitted acceptable 

applications for expansion of its scope 

of recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application file, and pertinent 

information, indicate that MET can meet 

the requirements prescribed by 29 CFR 

1910.7 for expanding its recognition to 

include the addition of these four test 

standards for NRTL testing and 

certification listed above. This 

preliminary finding does not constitute 

an interim or temporary approval of 

MET’s applications. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether MET meets the requirements 

of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its 

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. Commenters 

must submit the written request for an 

extension by the due date for comments. 

OSHA will limit any extension to 10 

days unless the requester justifies a 

longer period. OSHA may deny a 

request for an extension if the request is 

not adequately justified. To obtain or 

review copies of the exhibits identified 

in this notice, as well as comments 

submitted to the docket, contact the 

Docket Office, Room N–3655, 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Labor, at the above address. These 

materials also are available online at 

http://www.regulations.gov under 

Docket No. OSHA–2006–0028. 

OSHA staff will review all comments 

to the docket submitted in a timely 

manner and, after addressing the issues 

raised by these comments, will 

recommend to the Assistant Secretary 

for Occupational Safety and Health 

whether to grant MET’s applications for 

expansion of its 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 

its final decision in the Federal 

Register.

space policy and strategy. Members of 

the UAG will serve either as 

‘‘Representatives’’ (representing 

industry, other non-Federal entities, and 

other recognizable groups of persons 

involved in aeronautical and space 

activities), or as ‘‘Special Government 

Employees’’ (individual subject matter 

experts or consultants).
