                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                I. Background
                 The NRTL Program recognizes organizations that provide product-
                safety testing and certification services to manufacturers. These
                organizations perform testing and certification for purposes of the
                program, to U.S. consensus-based product-safety test standards. The
                products covered by the NRTL Program consist of those items for which
                OSHA safety standards require ``certification'' by a NRTL. The
                requirements affect electrical products and 36 other types of products.
                OSHA does not develop or issue these test standards, but generally
                relies on standards development organizations (SDOs), which develop and
                maintain the standards using a method that provides for input and
                consideration of views of industry groups, experts, users, consumers,
                governmental authorities, and others having broad experience in the
                safety field involved.
                A. Deletion and Replacement of Test Standards
                 The NRTL Program regulations require that appropriate test
                standards be maintained and current (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test standard
                withdrawn by an SDO is no longer considered an appropriate test
                standard (CPL 01-00-004, NRTL Program Policies, Procedures and
                Guidelines Directive (NRTL Program Directive), Ch. 2.IX.C.1). It is
                OSHA's policy to remove recognition of withdrawn test standards by
                issuing a correction notice in the Federal Register for all NRTLs
                recognized for the withdrawn test standards (Id.). However, SDOs
                frequently will designate a replacement standard for withdrawn
                standards. OSHA will recognize a NRTL for an appropriate replacement
                test standard if the NRTL has the requisite testing and evaluation
                capability for the replacement test standard (NRTL Program Directive,
                Ch. 2.IX.C.2).
                 One method that NRTLs may use to show such capability involves an
                analysis to determine whether any testing and evaluation requirements
                of existing test standards in a NRTL's scope are comparable (i.e., are
                completely or substantially identical) to the requirements in the
                replacement test standard (NRTL Program Directive, Ch. 2.IX.C.3). If
                OSHA's analysis shows the replacement test standard does not require
                additional or different technical capability than an existing test
                standard(s), and the replacement test standard is comparable to the
                existing test standard(s), then OSHA can add the replacement test
                standard to affected NRTLs' scope of recognition. If OSHA's analysis
                shows the replacement test standard requires an additional or different
                technical capability, or the replacement test standard is not
                comparable to any existing test standards, each affected NRTL seeking
                to have OSHA add the replacement test standard to the NRTL's scope of
                recognition must provide information to OSHA that demonstrates
                technical capability (NRTL Program Directive, Ch. 2.IX.D).
                B. Other Reasons for Removal of Test Standards From the NRTL List of
                Appropriate Test Standards
                 OSHA may choose to remove a test standard from the NRTL list of
                appropriate test standards based on an internal review in which NRTL
                Program staff review the NRTL list of appropriate test standards to
                determine if the test standards conform to the definition of an
                appropriate test standard defined in NRTL Program regulations and
                policy. There are several reasons for removing a test standard based on
                this review. First, a document that provides the methodology for a
                single test is a test method rather than an appropriate test standard
                (29 CFR 1910.7(c)). A test standard must specify the safety
                requirements for a specific type of product(s) (NRTL Program Directive,
                Ch. 2.VIII.C.1). A test method, however, is a specified technical
                procedure for performing a test. As such, a test method is not an
                appropriate test standard. While a NRTL may use a test method to
                determine if certain safety requirements are met, a test method is not
                itself a safety requirement for a specific product category.
                 Second, a document that focuses primarily on usage, installation,
                or maintenance requirements, and not
                [[Page 62822]]
                safety requirements (i.e., features, parts, capabilities, usage
                limitations, or installation requirements that would create a potential
                hazard in operating the equipment if not properly used), would also not
                be considered an appropriate test standard (NRTL Program Directive, Ch.
                2.VIII.C.1). In some cases, however, a document may also provide safety
                test specifications in addition to usage, installation, and maintenance
                requirements. In such cases, the document would be retained as an
                appropriate test standard based on the safety test specifications.
                 Finally, a document may not be considered an appropriate test
                standard if the document covers products for which OSHA does not
                require testing and certification (NRTL Program Directive, Ch.
                2.VIII.C.2). Similarly, a document that covers electrical product
                components would not be considered an appropriate test standard. These
                documents apply to types of components that have limitation(s) or
                condition(s) on their use, which are not appropriate for use as end-use
                products. These documents also specify that these types of components
                are for use only as part of an end-use product. NRTLs, however,
                evaluate such components only in the context of evaluating whether end-
                use products requiring NRTL approval are safe for use in the workplace.
                Accordingly, as a matter of policy, OSHA considers that documents
                covering such components are not appropriate test standards under the
                NRTL Program. OSHA notes, however, that it is not proposing to delete
                from NRTLs' scope of recognition any test standards covering end-use
                products that contain such components.
                 In addition, OSHA notes that, to conform to a test standard
                covering an end-use product, a NRTL must still determine that the
                components in the product comply with the components' specific test
                standards. In making this determination, NRTLs may (within the confines
                of the requirements of Annex B, Section 7.4 G and H of the NRTL Program
                Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines, OSHA Instruction CPL 01-00-004
                (Oct. 1, 2019) (the NRTL Program Directive, available at https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/enforcement/directives/CPL_01-00-004.pdf)) test the components themselves or accept the testing of a
                qualified testing organization that a given component conforms to the
                particular test standard. OSHA reviews each NRTL's procedures to
                determine which approach the NRTL will use to address components and
                reviews the end-use product testing to verify that the NRTL
                appropriately addresses that product's components.
                II. Summary of Proposed Actions
                 In a July 12, 2023 Federal Register notice (88 FR 44406, referred
                to in this notice as ``Proposed Modification,'' and available at
                www.regulations.gov under Docket ID OSHA-2013-0012-0030), OSHA proposed
                to delete several test standards from the NRTL Program's list of
                appropriate test standards; incorporate two replacement standards into
                the NRTL Program's list of appropriate test standards; remove deleted
                test standards from the scopes of recognition of several NRTLs; and add
                to the scopes of recognition of some of these NRTLs replacement test
                standards, as applicable. The notice requested public comment on the
                proposal; however, no comments were received in response to the Federal
                Register notice. As will be explained below, OSHA is issuing a final
                decision on these matters as proposed, without modification.
                III. Final Decision To Remove Test Standards From the NRTL Program's
                List of Appropriate Test Standards
                 In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to delete several
                withdrawn test standards from the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate
                Test Standards. OSHA also announces the final decision to incorporate
                into the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards two
                replacement test standards. These final actions are detailed below in
                Table 1.

                IV. Final Decision To Modify Affected NRTLs' Scope of Recognition
                 In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to remove test
                standards (those listed in Table 1, above) from the scopes of
                recognition of several NRTLs and to add to the scopes of recognition of
                some of these NRTLs replacement test standards, as applicable. The
                tables in this section (Table 2 through Table 16) list, for each
                affected NRTL, the test standard(s) that OSHA is removing from the
                scope of recognition of the NRTL, along with the test standard(s) that
                OSHA will incorporate into the scope of recognition to replace
                withdrawn (and deleted) test standards, as applicable.

                 OSHA will place on its informational web pages the modifications to
                each NRTL's scope of recognition. These web pages detail the scope of
                recognition for each NRTL, including the test standards the NRTL may
                use to test and certify products under OSHA's NRTL Program. OSHA also
                will add to the list of ``Appropriate Test Standards'' web page those
                test standards added to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test
                Standards. The agency will add to the ``Standards No Longer
                Recognized'' web page those test standards that OSHA no longer
                recognizes or permits under the NRTL Program. Access to these web pages
                is available at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
