SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Escape and Evacuation Plans 

information collection requirements 

codified in regulations 30 CFR 

57.11053, which requires the 

development of an escape and 

evacuation plan specifically addressing 

the unique conditions of each 

underground metal and nonmetal mine 

and requires that revisions be made as 

mining progresses. The plan must be 

available to MSHA representatives and 

conspicuously posted at locations 

convenient to all persons on the surface 

and underground. The mine operator 

and the MSHA are required jointly to 

review the plan at least once every six 

months. Federal Mine Safety and Health 

Act of 1977, as amended section 103(h) 

authorizes this information collection. 

See 30 U.S.C. 813(h). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1219–0046. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

August 31, 2017. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 22, 2017 (82 FR 14752). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1219–0046. The OMB is particularly 

interested in comments that: 

• 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, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of the Application for 

Expansion 

The Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration is providing notice that 

Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. 

(ITSNA), is applying for expansion of its 

current recognition as a NRTL. ITSNA 

requests the addition of seven test 

standards to its 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 its scope of recognition. 

Each NRTL’s scope of recognition 

includes (1) the type of products the 

NRTL may test, with each type specified 

by its 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 its preliminary 

finding. In the second notice, the 

Agency provides its 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 Web site at http://www.osha.gov/ 

dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html. 

ITSNA currently has fourteen 

facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA for 

product testing and certification, with 

its 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/dts/ 

otpca/nrtl/its.html. 

II. General Background on the 

Application 

ITSNA submitted an application, 

dated April 21, 2015 (OSHA–2007– 

0039–0026), to expand its recognition to 

include seven additional test standards. 

OSHA staff performed 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 standards found in ITSNA’s 

application for expansion for testing and 

certification of products under the 

NRTL Program.

III. Preliminary Findings on the 

Application 

ITSNA submitted an acceptable 

application for expansion of its scope of 

recognition. OSHA’s review of the 

application file, and pertinent 

documentation, indicate that ITSNA can 

meet the requirements prescribed by 29 

CFR 1910.7 for expanding its 

recognition to include the addition of 

these seven test standards for NRTL 

testing and certification listed above. 

This preliminary finding does not 

constitute an interim or temporary 

approval of ITSNA’s application. 

OSHA welcomes public comment as 

to whether ITSNA 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–3508, 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–2007–0039. 

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 ITSNA’s application 

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. 

IV. Authority and Signature

Secretary of Labor for Occupational
