SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
OSHA recognition of a NRTL signifies
that the organization meets the
requirements in Section 1910.7 of Title
29, Code of Federal Regulations (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. OSHA
maintains an informational web page for
each NRTL that details its scope of
recognition available at http://
www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/
index.html.
The agency processes applications by
a NRTL for renewal of recognition
following requirements in Appendix A
to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA conducts
renewals in accordance with the
procedures in 29 CFR 1910.7, Appendix
A, Section II.C. In accordance with these
procedures, NRTLs would submit a
renewal request to OSHA, not less than
nine months or no more than one year,
before the expiration date of its current
recognition. A request would include a
request for renewal and any additional
information the NRTL wishes to submit
to demonstrate its continued
compliance with the terms of its
recognition and 29 CFR 1910.7. If OSHA
has not conducted an on-site assessment
of the NRTL headquarters and any key
sites within the past 18 months, it will
schedule the necessary on-site
assessments prior to the expiration date
of the NRTL’s recognition. Upon review
of the submitted material and, as
necessary, the successful completion of
the on-site assessment, OSHA
announces its preliminary decision to
grant or deny renewal in the Federal
Register and solicit comments from the
public. OSHA then publishes a final
Federal Register notice responding to
any comments and renewing the NRTL’s
recognition for a period of five years, or
denying the renewal of recognition.
¨ V SU
¨ D Product Services GmbH
TU
(TUVPSG) initially received OSHA
recognition as a NRTL on July 20, 2001
(66 FR 38032). TUVPSG’s most recent
renewal was granted on January 30,
2014, for a five year period ending on
January 30, 2019. TUVPSG submitted a
timely request for renewal, dated April
16, 2018 (OSHA–2005–0022–0012), and

retains its recognition pending OSHA’s
final decision in this renewal process.
The current addresses of TUVPSG
facilities recognized by OSHA and
included as part of the renewal request
are:
¨ V SU
¨ D Product Services GmbH
1. TU
Munich, Ridlerstrasse 65 D–80339

Germany.
II. Notice of Preliminary Findings
OSHA is providing notice that
TUVPSG is applying for renewal of its
recognition as a NRTL. This renewal
covers TUVPSG’s existing NRTL scope
of recognition. TUVPSG submitted an
acceptable application for renewal of its
recognition as a NRTL on April 16,
2018. OSHA evaluated TUVPSG’s
application for renewal and
preliminarily determined that TUVPSG
can continue to meet the requirements
prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for
recognition. Accordingly, OSHA is
making a determination that it does not
need to conduct an additional on-site
review of TUVPSG’s facilities based on
its evaluations of TUVPSG’s application
and all other available information. This
information includes OSHA’s audits of
TUVPSG’s recognized NRTL sites
during this recognition period, and the
satisfactory resolution of nonconformances with the requirements of
29 CFR 1910.7. This preliminary finding
does not constitute an interim or
temporary approval of the request.
OSHA welcomes public comment as
to whether TUVPSG meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for
renewal of their 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. OSHA must receive the written
request for an extension by the due date
for comments. OSHA will limit any
extension to 30 days unless the
requester justifies a longer period.
OSHA may deny a request for an
extension if it is not adequately
justified. To obtain or review copies of
the publicly available information in
TUVPSG’s application and other
pertinent documents (including
exhibits), as well as all submitted
comments, contact the Docket Office,
Room N–3653, Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, at the above address; these
materials also are available online at
http://www.regulations.gov under
Docket No. OSHA–2005–0022.

OSHA staff will review all comments
to the docket submitted in a timely
manner and, after addressing the issues
raised by these comments, will make a
recommendation to the Assistant
Secretary on whether to grant TUVPSG’s
application for renewal. The Assistant
Secretary will make the final decision
on granting the application and, in
making this decision, may undertake
other proceedings prescribed in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7.
OSHA will publish a public notice of
this final decision in the Federal
Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e.,
employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to

VerDate Sep<11>2014

20:25 Jul 10, 2020

Jkt 250001

provide the public with an opportunity
to comment on proposed and
continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (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
contained in the Hydrostatic Testing
Provision of the Portable Fire
Extinguishers Standard are necessary to
reduce workers’ risk of death or serious
injury by ensuring that portable fire
extinguishers are in safe operating
condition. The following paragraphs
describe who uses the information in
the testing certification record, as well
as how they use it.
Test Records

(§ 1910.157(f)(16))

Paragraph (f)(16) requires employers
to develop and maintain a certification
record of hydrostatic testing of portable
fire extinguishers. The certification
record must include the date of
inspection, the signature of the person
who performed the test, and the serial
number (or other identifier) of the fire
extinguisher that was tested.
Disclosure of Test Certification Records
The certification record must be made
available to the Assistant Secretary or
his/her representative upon request. The
certification record provides assurance
to employers, workers, and OSHA
compliance officers that the fire
extinguishers have been hydrostatically
tested in accordance with and at the
intervals specified in § 1910.157(f)(16),
thereby ensuring that they will operate
properly in the event workers need to
use them. Additionally, these records
provide the most efficient means for the
compliance officers to determine that an
employer is complying with the
hydrostatic testing provision.

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 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
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
the approval of the collection of
information (paperwork) requirements
contained in the Hydrostatic Testing
Provision of the Standard on Portable
Fire Extinguishers. There is an
adjustment decrease in burden hours for
this ICR. The burden hours have
decreased a total of 14,784 hours (from
519,161 to 504,377 hours).
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Hydrostatic Testing Provision of
the Standard on Portable Fire
Extinguishers. (29 CFR 1910.157(f)(16)).
OMB Number: 1218–0218.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; farms.
Number of Respondents: 5,869,911.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Total Responses: 5,217,699.
Average Time per Response: Ranges
from one minute (1/60 hour) to maintain
the certification records to 33 minutes
(33/60 hour) to test an extinguisher, and
generate and maintain the certification
record.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
504,377.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $76,637,563.
