45900 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 189 / Monday, October 2, 2017 / Notices 

OSHA staff determined that OSHA 

should grant the application to expand 

IAPMO’s NRTL recognition to include 

four of the eight requested standards. 

OSHA published the preliminary 

notice announcing IAPMO’s expansion 

application in the Federal Register on 

March 15, 2017 (82 FR 13868). The 

Agency requested comments by March 

30, 2017, and received three comments 

in response to this notice. One comment 

supported IAPMO’s expansion 

application (OSHA–2013–0030–0010), 

while the other two (OSHA–2013–0030– 

0008 and OSHA–2013–0030–0009) were 

not specifically related to it, but rather 

questioned the funding and oversight of 

the NRTL Program more generally. 

Because the comments were 

anonymous, the Agency could not 

respond directly to the commenters. 

However, the Agency reiterates that its 

NRTL procedures are governed by 29 

CFR 1910.7 and notes that these 

procedures serve simply to protect 

workers under the OSH Act by allowing 

NRTLs to certify that a particular 

product complies with the requirements 

of one or more appropriate product 

safety test standards. OSHA now is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant expansion of IAPMO’s scope of 

recognition. 

To obtain or review copies of all 

public documents pertaining to 

IAPMO’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–2013–0030 contains 

all materials in the record concerning 

IAPMO’s recognition. 

II. Final Decision and Order 

OSHA staff examined IAPMO’s 

expansion application, its capability to 

meet the requirements of the test 

standards, and other pertinent 

information. Based on its review of this 

evidence, OSHA finds that IAPMO 

meets the requirements of 29 CFR 

1910.7 for expansion of its recognition, 

subject to the limitation and conditions 

listed below. OSHA, therefore, is 

proceeding with this final notice to 

grant IAPMO’s scope of recognition. 

OSHA limits the expansion of IAPMO’s 

recognition to testing and certification 

of products for demonstration of 

conformance to the test standards listed 

in Table 1 below. 

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

Test standard Test standard title 

UL 875 ......................................................................... Standard for Electric Dry-Bath Heaters. 

UL 979 ......................................................................... Standard for Water Treatment Appliances. 

UL 1241 ....................................................................... Standard for Junction Boxes for Swimming Pool Luminaires. 

UL 1261 ....................................................................... Standard for Electric Water Heaters for Pools and Tubs. 

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, OSHA 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, 

IAPMO must abide by the following 

conditions of the recognition: 

1. IAPMO 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. IAPMO must meet all the terms of 

its recognition and comply with all 

OSHA policies pertaining to this 

recognition; and 

3. IAPMO must continue to meet the 

requirements for recognition, including 

all previously published conditions on 

IAPMO’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 IAPMO, subject to the 

limitation and conditions specified 

above. 

III. Authority and Signature

Secretary of Labor for Occupational 

Safety and Health, authorized the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the public with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and continuing information collection 

requirements in accord with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This 

program ensures that information is in 

the desired format, reporting burden 

(time and costs) is minimal, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (the 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 efforts in 

obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). 

The standard on General Working 

Conditions in Shipyard Employment (29 

CFR part 1915, subpart F) covers 

provisions that address conditions and 

operations in shipyard employment that 

may produce hazards for workers. The 

subpart is comprised of 14 sections that 

include housekeeping; lighting; utilities; 

working alone; vessel radar and 

communication systems; lifeboats; 

medical services and first aid; 

sanitation; control of hazardous energy; 

safety color code for marking physical 

hazards; accident prevention signs and 

tags; retention of DOT markings, 

placards, and labels; motor vehicle 

safety equipment, operation and 

maintenance; and servicing multi-piece 

and single-piece rim wheels. 

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 proper performance of the Agency’s 

functions, 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 

OSHA is requesting that OMB extend 

its approval of the information 

collection requirements contained in 

subpart F of the General Working 

Conditions in Shipyard Employment 

Standard (29 CFR 1915). The Agency is 

proposing an adjustment decrease of 

2,471 hours, from 101,376 to 98,905 

hours. The decrease in hours is a result 

of updated data showing a decrease in 

the number of small to large 

establishments covered by the standard. 

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: General Working Conditions in 

Shipyard Employment Standard (29 

CFR part 1915, subpart F) 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0259. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profits. 

Number of Responses: 285,653. 

Frequency of Responses: On occasion. 

Average Time per Response: Various. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

98,905. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $2,726.
