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 collection of

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:41 Jun 27, 2019

Jkt 247001

information requirements in accordance
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 collection of information in the
standard is necessary for
implementation of the requirements of
the standard. The information is used by
employers to ensure that processes
using highly hazardous chemicals with
the potential of a catastrophic release
are operated as safely as possible. The
employer must thoroughly consider all
facets of a process, as well as the
involvement of employees in that
process. Employers analyze processes so
that they can identify, evaluate and
control problems that could lead to a
major release, fire, or explosion. The
major information collection
requirements in this standard include:
Consulting with workers and their
representatives on and providing them
access to process hazard analyses and
the development of other elements of
the standard; developing a written
action plan for implementation of
employee participation in process
hazard analyses and other elements of
the standard; completing a compilation
of written process safety information;
performing a process hazard analysis;
documenting actions taken to resolve
process hazard analysis team findings
and recommendations; updating,
revalidating, and retaining the process
hazard analysis; developing and
implementing written operating
procedures accessible to workers;
reviewing operating procedures as often
as necessary and certifying the
procedures annually; developing and
implementing safe work practices;
preparing training records; informing
contract employers of known hazards
and applicable provisions of the

PO 00000

emergency action plan; maintaining a
contract worker injury and illness log;
establishing written procedures to
maintain the integrity of and
documenting inspections and tests of
process equipment; providing
information on permits issued for hot
work operations; establishing and
implementing written procedures to
manage changes; preparing reports at
the conclusion of incident
investigations, documenting resolutions
and corrective measures, and reviewing
the reports with affected personnel;
establishing and implementing an
emergency action plan; developing a
compliance audit report and certifying
compliance; and disclosing information
necessary to comply with the standard
to persons responsible for compiling
process safety information.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information requirements are necessary
for the 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
collection of information 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
approve the proposed extension and
revision of the collections of
information contained in OSHA’s PSM
Standard.
The agency is requesting an overall
total decrease of 666,965 hours from the
proposed 2016 ongoing burden request
of 6,277,818 to 5,610,853 hours. This
decrease mainly results from a
reduction of the total number of covered
establishments due to the agency
rescinding the interpretation of the
scope of the retail exemption of the PSM
Standard.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Process Safety Management of
Highly Hazardous Chemicals (PSM) (29
CFR 1910.119 and 29 CFR 1926.64).
OMB Control Number: 1218–0200.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
Number of Respondents: 1,206,422.
Frequency of Response: On Occasion:
Annually.

QPS Evaluation Services, Inc.: Grant of
Expansion of Recognition
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

In this notice, OSHA
announces its final decision to expand
the scope of recognition for QPS
Evaluation Services, Inc., as a
Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL).
DATES: The expansion of the scope of
recognition becomes effective on June
28, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Information regarding this notice is
available from the following sources:
Press inquiries: Contact Mr. Frank
Meilinger, Director, OSHA Office of
Communications, U.S. Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Notice of Final Decision
OSHA hereby gives notice of the
expansion of the scope of recognition of

PO 00000

Frm 00105

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

31121

QPS Evaluation Services, Inc. (QPS), as
a NRTL. QPS’s expansion covers the
addition of two test standards to its
scope of recognition.
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies
that the organization meets the
requirements specified by 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
and is not a delegation or grant of
government authority. As a result of
recognition, employers may use
products properly approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that
require testing and certification of the
products.
The agency processes applications by
a NRTL for initial recognition, or for
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 a preliminary
finding and, in the second notice, the
agency provides the 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 that details its scope of
recognition. These pages are available
from the agency’s website at http://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
QPS submitted two applications, one
dated January 16, 2017 (OSHA–2010–
0046–0010) and another dated June 23,
2017 (OSHA–2010–0046–0011), to
expand its recognition to include two
additional test standards. OSHA staff
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.
OSHA published the preliminary
notice announcing QPS’s expansion
application in the Federal Register on
February 12, 2019 (84 FR 3547). The
agency requested comments by February
27, 2019, but it received no comments
in response to this notice. OSHA now is
proceeding with this final notice to
grant expansion of QPS’s scope of
recognition.
To obtain or review copies of all
public documents pertaining to QPS’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.
