workplace. Consequently, if a test
standard also covers any product(s) for
which OSHA does not require such
testing and certification, an NRTL’s
scope of recognition does not include
that product(s).
Many UL test standards also are
approved as American National
Standards by the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI). However, for
convenience, we use the designation of
the standards developing organization
for the standard as opposed to the ANSI
designation. Under our procedures, any
NRTL recognized for an ANSI-approved
test standard may use either the latest
proprietary version of the test standard
or the latest ANSI version of that
standard. You may contact ANSI to find
out whether or not a test standard is
currently ANSI-approved.

2. Supplemental Programs
The renewal is also limited to
continued use by NTS of the following
supplemental programs, all of which are
currently in its scope.
Program 4: Acceptance of witnessed
testing data.
Program 8: Acceptance of product
evaluations from organizations that
function as part of the International
Electrical Commission Certification
Body (IEC–CB) Scheme.
Program 9: Acceptance of services
other than testing or evaluation
performed by subcontractors or agents.
In developing these programs, OSHA
responded to industry requests and
allowed certain of their ongoing
practices to continue but in a manner
controlled by OSHA criteria. In this
sense, they are special conditions that
the Agency places on an NRTL’s
recognition. OSHA does not consider
these programs in determining whether
an NRTL meets the requirements for
recognition under 29 CFR 1910.7.
However, these programs help to define
the scope of that recognition.
Conditions
NTS must also abide by the following
conditions of the recognition, in
addition to those already required by 29
CFR 1910.7:
OSHA must be allowed access to
NTS’s facility and records for purposes
of ascertaining continuing compliance
with the terms of its recognition and to
investigate as OSHA deems necessary;
If NTS has reason to doubt the
efficacy of any test standard it is using
under this program, it must promptly
inform the test standard developing
organization of this fact and provide
that organization with appropriate
relevant information upon which its
concerns are based;

NTS must not engage in or permit
others to engage in any
misrepresentation of the scope or
conditions of its recognition. As part of
this condition, NTS agrees that it will
allow no representation that it is either
a recognized or an accredited Nationally
Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL)
without clearly indicating the specific
equipment or material to which this
recognition is tied, or that its
recognition is limited to certain
products;
NTS must inform OSHA as soon as
possible, in writing, of any change of
ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major changes in its
operations as an NRTL, including
details;
NTS will meet all the terms of its
recognition and will always comply
with all OSHA policies pertaining to
this recognition; and
NTS will continue to meet the
requirements for recognition in all areas
where it has been recognized.

June, 2007.

Safety and Health.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
Notice of Intent To Seek Approval To
Revise an Information Collection
National Science Foundation.
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104–13
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), and as part of
its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden, the
National Science Foundation (NSF) is
inviting the general public and other
Federal agencies to comment on this
proposed continuing information
collection. This is the third notice for
public comment; the first was published
in the Federal Register at 71 FR 38428
and one comment that had no
significant suggestions for altering the
data plans was received. The second
notice was published at 71 FR 78226,
simultaneous with submission of the
clearance package to OMB. The
information collection request was
withdrawn on March 29, 2007 to allow
the program to clarify burden hours and
participants. NSF is now forwarding the
proposed submission to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
clearance simultaneously with the
publication of this third notice.

Comments regarding these
information collections are best assured
of having their full effect if received by
OMB within 30 days of publication in
the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Written comments
regarding (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of NSF,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
NSF’s estimate of burden including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; or (d) ways
to 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 should be
addressed to: Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs of OMB, Attention:
Desk Officer for National Science
Foundation, 725–17th Street, NW.,

An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control
number and the agency informs
potential persons who are to respond to
the collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Evaluation of the
Research Experiences for
Undergraduates (REU) Program in the
NSF Directorate for Engineering (ENG).
OMB Number: 3145–0121.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval to renew an information
collection for three years.
Proposed Project: NSF has supported
the REU Program since 1987. The
Program was evaluated after three and
five years and as part of a larger study
of all NSF undergraduate research
opportunities (URO) in 2003. The
proposed project will enable NSF’s
Directorate for Engineering (ENG) to
learn about the activities, outcomes, and

impacts of the REU awards made by that
Directorate, as well as lessons learned to
improve the results of future REU
awards. Two types of REU awards will
be studied, REU sites and REU
supplements. REU Site awards fund
groups of undergraduates to work with
faculty members at an institution. Half
of the undergraduates in an REU site
must come from other institutions. ENG
also makes REU Supplement awards to
NSF-funded Engineering Research
Centers and to other NSF-funded
researchers for comparable involvement
of undergraduates.
The proposed study will be similar to
the 2003 URO study. It will focus on
undergraduate ENG REU participants
and the faculty members who are
responsible for the ENG REU awards
during summer 2006 through spring
2007, and will examine in detail for the
first time the activities, outcomes, and
impacts of REU awards made in a single
NSF directorate—ENG. The study will
evaluate the longer-term effects of REU
experiences with a follow-up survey of
the students approximately two years
later. The REU program officers in the
NSF’s Division of Engineering
Education and Centers (EEC)
particularly want to learn in depth
about the EEC REU Site and ERC REU
Supplement awards from former REU
students and awardees, any differences
between the Sites and ERC
Supplements, and lessons learned for
subsequent proposal review and
advising prospective PIs. Information
will also be used for ENG Program
reporting requirements. The study will
examine (1) the role of the REU program
in aiding participating undergraduates
in a decision to pursue graduate
education or careers in engineering; and
(2) the relationship between how REU
activities are structured and managed
and participants’ subsequent education
and career decisions and actions.
The survey data collection will be
done on the World Wide Web.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 30 minutes per
response.
Respondents: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
10,529.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 5,094 hours.
Frequency of Response: One time for
faculty, two times for students.
Dated: June 15, 2007.
