UL LLC: Grant of Expansion of Recognition and Modification to the
NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this notice, OSHA announces the final decision to expand
the scope of recognition for UL LLC as a Nationally Recognized Testing
Laboratory (NRTL). Additionally, OSHA announces the final decision to
add one test standard to the NRTL Program's list of appropriate test
standards.

DATES: The expansion of the scope of recognition becomes effective on
January 12, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of Final Decision

    OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of UL LLC (UL) as a NRTL. UL's expansion covers the
addition of one test standard to the NRTL scope of recognition, which
OSHA will add to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards.
    OSHA recognition of a 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 the
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
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 a preliminary finding. 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,
including UL, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA website at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
    UL submitted an application, dated October 4, 2020 (OSHA-2009-0025-
0037) to add one additional test standard to UL's NRTL recognition.
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 UL's expansion
application in the Federal Register on August 24, 2021 (86 FR 47333).
The agency requested comments by September 8, 2021, but it received no
comments in response to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding with this
final notice to grant expansion of UL's scope of recognition and
modification to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards.
    To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to
UL's application, go to http://www.regulations.gov or contact the
Docket Office, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S.
Department of Labor. Docket No. OSHA-2009-0025 contains all materials
in the record concerning UL's recognition. Please note: Due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the Docket Office is closed to the public at this
time but can be contacted at<PHONE_NUMBER>, TTY<PHONE_NUMBER>.

II. Final Decision and Order

    OSHA staff examined UL's expansion application, its capability to
meet the requirements of the test standard, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that UL
meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its
recognition, subject to the limitations and conditions listed in this
notice. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant
UL's scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of UL's
recognition to testing and certification of products for demonstration
of conformance to the test standard listed below in Table 1.

  Table 1--List of Appropriate Test Standard for Inclusion in UL's NRTL
                          Scope of Recognition
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Represents the standard that OSHA is adding to the NRTL Program's List
  of Appropriate Test Standards.

    In this notice, OSHA also announces the final decision to add one
new test standard to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate Test
Standards. Table 2 below lists the standard that is new to the NRTL
Program. OSHA has determined that this test standard is an appropriate
test standard and will add it to the NRTL Program's List of Appropriate
Test Standards.

     Table 2--Standard OSHA Is Adding to the NRTL Program's List of
                       Appropriate Test Standards
------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Test standard                     Test standard title

                                             Electric Vehicles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OSHA's recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is
limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require
third-party testing and certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products
for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, a
NRTL's scope of recognition does not include these products.
    The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the
test standard listed above as an American National Standard. However,
for convenience, OSHA may use the designation of the standards-
developing organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI
designation. Under the NRTL Program's policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL
01-00-004, Chapter 2, Section VIII), only standards determined to be
appropriate test standards may be approved for NRTL recognition. Any
NRTL recognized for an appropriate test standard may use either the
proprietary version of the test standard or the ANSI version of that
standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a test standard is
currently ANSI-approved.

A. Conditions

    In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7,
UL must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:

    1. UL must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any
change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major
change in its operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the
change(s);
    2. UL must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    3. UL must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on UL's scope of
recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition.

    Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the
scope of recognition of UL, subject to the limitations and conditions
specified above. OSHA also adds one new test standard to the NRTL
Program's List of Appropriate Test Standards.

III. Authority and Signature

    James S. Frederick, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington,
DC 20210, authorized the preparation of this notice. Accordingly, the
agency is issuing this notice pursuant to 29 U.S.C. 657(g)(2),

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2019-07, dated March 4,
2019 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for
certain Viking Air Limited Model CL-215-1A10 and CL-215-6B11 (CL-215T
Variant) airplanes. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2019-0710.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Viking Air
Limited Model CL-215-1A10 and CL-215-6B11 (CL-215T Variant) airplanes.
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on October 4, 2019 (84 FR
53076). The NPRM was prompted by reports of cracks on the wing lower
skin under the drag angle at a certain WS. The NPRM proposed to require
a one-time inspection of the wing lower skin under the drag angle at a
certain WS to determine if a certain repair or modification has been
accomplished; repetitive visual inspections of certain fuselage
structures; repetitive eddy current inspections of the front spar along
a certain WS reference line, the drag angle, and all fastener holes;
repetitive structural gap checks of a certain surface; and corrective
actions if necessary. The NPRM also proposed to require replacing
certain rivets with certain fasteners, and corrective actions if
necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which
if not detected and corrected, may lead to widespread fatigue damage
and wing structure failure. See the MCAI for additional background
information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed,
except for minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these
minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Viking has issued Alert Service Bulletin 215-A568, Revision 4,
dated January 22, 2019. This service information describes procedures
for a one-time inspection of the wing lower skin under the drag angle
at a certain WS to determine if a certain repair or modification has
been accomplished; repetitive visual inspections of fastener
installation for abnormal conditions (missed, sheared, distorted,
deformed or loose fastener heads/collar/nuts, and corrosion) and
corrective actions as necessary; repetitive visual inspections of the
open fastener holes for cracks, burrs, elongation, double or mis-
drilled holes, or corrosion, and corrective actions as necessary;
repetitive visual inspections of drag angles, wing lower skin, lower
stringers, spar lower caps/webs, and fuselage structures (internally
and externally) where fasteners are removed for surface cracks or
evidence of distortion and surface defects (scratches, gouges, nicks,
scores, dents, surface pitting/corrosion, or other surface damage), and
corrective actions as necessary; repetitive bolt hole eddy current
(BHEC) inspections of all identified fastener holes (except reference
holes) for cracks, and corrective actions as necessary; repetitive eddy
current surface scans for surface defects and cracks of the drag angle
(along the bending radius) and all fastener holes in which crack(s)
indication is observed, and corrective actions as necessary; repetitive
structural gap checks of the mating surface between the wing lower skin
and the drag angles and corrective actions as necessary; and procedures
for replacing certain rivets with certain fasteners, and corrective
actions as necessary. Corrective actions include, among other things,
repair, replacement, and oversizing any affected holes.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 4 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                     Estimated Costs for Required Actions *
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Labor cost                   Parts cost         Cost per product         Cost on U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 48 work-hours x $85 per hour = Up               $0  Up to $4,080..............  Up to $16,320.
 to $4,080.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Table does not include estimated costs for reporting.

    The FAA estimates that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
to comply with the reporting requirement in this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, the FAA estimates the
cost of reporting the inspection results on U.S. operators to be $340,
or $85 per product.
    The FAA has received no definitive data that would enable the
agency to provide cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified
in this AD.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation
Administration, 10101

Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
