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.

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.

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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001

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

PO 00000

Frm 00107

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.
