The first submissions were received in early 1999. The next submissions for most facilities are due by June 21, 2004. EPA is proposing to revise the risk management program regulations ( codified in 40 CFR part 68) to add three data elements to the risk management plan, to modify the re submission schedule for those sources who have significant accidents and for those who change the information for the emergency contacts. EPA is also proposing to remove the requirement to discuss the off site consequence analysis in the executive summary of the RMP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of the Application for Expansion

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is providing
notice that TUV SUD America Inc. (TUVAM) is applying for expansion of
its current recognition as an NRTL. TUVAM requests the addition of two
recognized testing and certification sites to its scope of NRTL
recognition.
    OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified in 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. Recognition enables employers to use products approved by
the NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require product testing and
certification.
    The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial
recognition and for an 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 its preliminary finding. In the second notice,
the Agency provides its 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,
including TUVAM, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA Web site at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
    Each NRTL's scope of recognition includes: (1) The type of products
the NRTL may test, with each type specified by its applicable test
standard; and (2) the recognized site(s) that has/have the technical
capability to perform the product testing and product-certification
activities for test standards within the NRTL's scope.
    TUVAM currently has four facilities (sites) recognized by OSHA for
product testing and certification, with its headquarters located at:
TUV SUD America, Inc., 10 Technology Drive, Peabody, MA 01960. A
complete list of TUVAM's scope of recognition (including sites)
recognized by OSHA is available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/tuvam.html.

II. General Background on the Application

    TUVAM submitted an application, dated May 19, 2015 (OSHA-2007-0043-
0020), to expand its recognition to include the addition of two
recognized testing and certification sites located at: TUV SUD,
Ridlerstrasse 65, D-80339, Munich, Germany; and TUV SUD, Daimlerstrasse
11, D-85748, Garching, Germany. OSHA staff also performed an on-site
review of TUVAM's testing facilities at TUV SUD Munich on June 6, 2016,
and at TUV SUD Garching on June 7, 2016, in which the assessors

found some nonconformances with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7.
TUVAM addressed these issues sufficiently, and OSHA staff preliminarily
determined that OSHA should grant the application.

III. Preliminary Finding on the Application

    TUVAM submitted an acceptable application for expansion of its
scope of recognition. OSHA's review of the application file and its
detailed on-site assessments indicate that TUVAM can meet the
requirements prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its recognition
to include the addition of two sites for NRTL testing and
certification. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim
or temporary approval of TUVAM's application.
    OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether TUVAM meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition as an
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 it 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, Room N-3508, 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-2007-0043.
    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 TUVAM'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 this final decision in the
Federal Register.
