60 day federal register notice

performed a 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 MET’s

7497

application for expansion for testing and
certification of products under the
NRTL Program.

Electromechanical Contactors and Motor-Starters.

* Represents the standard that OSHA proposes to add to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards.

III. Proposal To Add New Test
Standard to the NRTL Program’s List of
Appropriate Test Standards
Periodically, OSHA will propose to
add new test standards to the NRTL list
of appropriate test standards following
an evaluation of the test standard
document. To qualify as an appropriate
test standard, the Agency evaluates the
document to (1) verify it represents a
product category for which OSHA
requires certification by a NRTL, (2)
verify the document represents an end
product and not a component, and (3)
verify the document defines safety test
specifications (not installation or

operational performance specifications).
OSHA becomes aware of new test
standards through various avenues. For
example, OSHA may become aware of
new test standards by: (1) Monitoring
notifications issued by certain
Standards Development Organizations;
(2) reviewing applications by NRTLs or
applicants seeking recognition to
include new test standard in their
scopes of recognition; and (3) obtaining
notification from manufacturers,
manufacturing organizations,
government agencies, or other parties.
OSHA may determine to include a new
test standard in the list, for example, if

the test standard is for a particular type
of product that another test standard
also covers or it covers a type of product
that no standard previously covered.
In this notice, OSHA proposes to add
a new test standard to the NRTL
Program’s List of Appropriate Test
Standards. Table 2, below, lists the test
standard that is new to the NRTL
Program. OSHA preliminarily
determined that this test standard is an
appropriate test standard and proposes
to include it in the NRTL Program’s List
of Appropriate Test Standards. OSHA
seeks public comment on this
preliminary determination.

IV. Preliminary Findings on the
Application
MET submitted an acceptable
application for expansion of its scope of
recognition. OSHA’s review of the
application file, and pertinent
documentation, indicate that MET can
meet the requirements prescribed by 29
CFR 1910.7 for expanding its
recognition to include the addition of
these two test standards for NRTL
testing and certification listed above.
This preliminary finding does not
constitute an interim or temporary
approval of MET’s application.
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, 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 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.

Notice of information collection.

The National Aeronautics and

agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing information collections.
DATES: All comments should be
submitted within 60 calendar days from
the date of this publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
Federal agencies are required by
statute not to engage in discrimination
on the bases of race, color, religion, sex,
national origin, age, disability, genetic
information, or retaliation. A federal
employee, former employee, or job
applicant who believes s/he was
discriminated against has a right to file
a complaint with the agency’s office
responsible for its Equal Employment
Opportunity (EEO) programs. Federal
agencies must offer pre-complaint
counseling or EEO alternative dispute
resolution (EEO ADR) to individuals
who allege that they were discriminated
against by the agency. If pre-complaint
counseling or EEO ADR does not resolve
the dispute(s), the individual can file a
formal discrimination complaint with
the agency’s EEO office.

II. Methods of Collection
Title 29 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 1614 Section 104
requires agencies to establish
procedures for processing individual
and class complaints of discrimination
that include the provisions contained in
29 CFR 1614.105 through 1614.110 and
in § 1614.204, which are consistent with
all other applicable Federal EEO
regulations and complaint processing
requirements contained in the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) Management Directives (MD).
When an individual decides to pursue
the formal discrimination complaint
process, EEOC MD 110 requires that the
formal complaint must be:

VerDate Sep<11>2014

• In writing;
• Specific with regard to the claim(s)
that the individual raised in precomplaint counseling and that the
person wishes to pursue;
• Must be signed by the individual
and/or his or her representative; and
• Must be filed within fifteen (15)
calendar days from the date s/he
receives the Notice of Right to File a
Discrimination Complaint.
Consequently, NASA established NF–
1355P form to ensure the individual
who wishes to utilize the EEO process
complies with the requirements listed
above.
