Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

[Docket No. PHMSA-2007-28505]

Pipeline Safety: Special Permits Granted

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA);
DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice provides a list of the special permits PHMSA
granted in calendar year 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal pipeline safety laws in 49
U.S.C. 60118(c)(1) allow a pipeline operator to request and PHMSA to
waive compliance with any part of the Federal pipeline safety
regulations. A special permit is the name PHMSA uses for a decision
granting a pipeline operator's request for waiver. Before granting a
special permit, PHMSA publishes a notice seeking public comment on the
request in the Federal Register. The docket IDs in the list below refer
to dockets established for each request for waiver in the Federal
Docket Management System (FDMS) located on the internet at http://www.Regulations.gov.

    The FDMS allows Federal agencies to post rulemaking and non-
rulemaking documents in dockets. It serves as a one-stop source to
allow anyone to find, view or comment on all Federal regulations and
related materials. The initial requests by the operators, supplemental
written materials, relevant Federal Register notices, public comments,
special permit analyses, and the decision granting the special permits
are located in the applicable dockets in the FDMS on the http://www.Regulations.gov
 Web site. You can find a docket by using the search

function. Simply type in the complete docket number in the search
address box and hit ``go'' or hit enter on your keyboard.
    The PHMSA granted the following special permits in calendar year

1 Exposure scenario titles consist of release activity followed by exposure calculation abbreviation.

2 Release activities are from engineering report's Manufacturing (Mfg), Processing (Proc) and Use release activity labels. Multiple release activities are combined in one exposure scenario if their releases occur at same location.

3 Exposure calculations are Acute Dose Rate (ADR), Lifetime Average Daily Dose (LADD), and Probabilistic Dilution Model (PDM).  There may be one, two, or all three exposure calculations per exposure scenario. CC is the aquatic concentration of concern.

4 This column displays concentration values for the 7Q10 streamflow, which is defined as the average daily streamflow of the seven consecutive days of lowest flow within a ten year period.

Remarks:   Run A – using 6.04% of total releases.

Dicloran and Formetanate; Proposed Tolerance Actions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to revoke certain tolerances for the
fungicide dicloran and the insecticide formetanate hydrochloride
because, in follow-up to voluntary requests from registrants, domestic
registrations were voluntarily amended to delete specific uses, leaving
no dicloran and formetanate hydrochloride registrations for those uses.
Also, in accordance with current Agency practice, EPA is proposing to
make minor revisions to the tolerance expressions for dicloran and
formetanate hydrochloride and to specific tolerance nomenclatures for
dicloran.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an
agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer.
Potentially affected entities may include, but are not limited to:
     Crop production (NAICS code 111).
     Animal production (NAICS code 112).
     Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).
     Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
    This listing is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides
a guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this
action. Other types of entities not listed in this unit could also be
affected. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS)
codes have been provided to assist you and others in determining
whether this action might apply to certain entities. To determine
whether you or your business may be affected by this action, you should
carefully examine the applicability provisions in Unit II.A. If you
have any questions regarding the applicability of this action to a
particular entity, consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked

will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

C. What can I do if I wish the Agency to maintain a tolerance that the
Agency proposes to revoke?

    This proposed rule provides a comment period of 60 days for any
person to state an interest in retaining a tolerance proposed for
revocation. If EPA receives a comment within the 60-day period to that
effect, EPA will not proceed to revoke the tolerance immediately.
However, EPA will take steps to ensure the submission of any needed
supporting data and will issue an order in the Federal Register under
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) section 408(f), if
needed. The order would specify data needed and the timeframes for its
submission, and would require that within 90 days some person or
persons notify EPA that they will submit the data. If the data are not
submitted as required in the order, EPA will take appropriate action
under FFDCA.
    EPA issues a final rule after considering comments that are
submitted in response to this proposed rule. In addition to submitting
comments in response to this proposed rule, you may also submit an
objection at the time of the final rule. If you fail to file an
objection to the final rule within the time period specified, you will
have waived the right to raise any issues resolved in the final rule.
After the specified time, issues resolved in the final rule cannot be
raised again in any subsequent proceedings.

II. Background

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    EPA is proposing to revoke the potato tolerance for the fungicide
dicloran and the apple, peach, and pear tolerances for the insecticide
formetanate hydrochloride.
    EPA is proposing the tolerance revocations in follow-up to the
Agency's approval (as described in Unit II.A.) of voluntary requests
from registrants to amend dicloran and formetanate product labels to
delete uses for specific food commodities. Also, in accordance with
current Agency practice, EPA is proposing to make minor revisions to
the tolerance expression for dicloran and to specific tolerance
nomenclatures for dicloran. In addition, in accordance with current
Agency practice to describe more clearly the measurement and scope or
coverage of the tolerances, including applicable metabolites and
degradates, EPA is proposing minor revisions to the tolerance
expression for formetanate hydrochloride. The revisions do not
substantively change the tolerance or, in any way, modify the
permissible level of residues permitted by the tolerance. It is EPA's
general practice to propose revocation of those tolerances for residues
of pesticide active ingredients on crop uses for which there are no
active registrations under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), unless someone submits comments on the
proposed rule indicating a need for the tolerance to cover residues in
or on imported commodities or legally treated domestic commodities. The
following discussion explains the specific changes and the reasons for
the changes.
    1. Dicloran. Because it is no longer Agency practice to distinguish
between preharvest and postharvest applications in the tolerance
expression, in 40 CFR 180.200, EPA is proposing to remove paragraph
(a)(2), redesignate paragraph (a)(1) as paragraph (a), and revise the
introductory text containing the tolerance expression in newly
designated paragraph (a) by removing the reference concerning
preharvest and postharvest applications, to read as set out in the
proposed regulatory text at the end of this document.
    Also, in the Federal Register of December 1, 2010 (75 FR 74714)
(FRL-8854-3), EPA published a notice of receipt of requests to
voluntarily amend certain dicloran (DCNA) registrations to delete the
use for potato, and therefore terminate the last registrations for use
of dicloran in or on potato. In the Federal Register of November 16,
2011 (76 FR 71022) (FRL-8883-8), EPA approved the cancellation order
for amendments to terminate product uses and allowed registrants to
sell and distribute existing stocks of the affected products until
November 16, 2012. The Agency allowed persons other than the registrant
to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks of the affected products
until they are exhausted, provided that it complies with the EPA
approved labeling. Recently, the registrant has been in further
communication with the Agency, and based on the information provided,
EPA believes that existing stocks are likely to be exhausted by
December 31, 2014. Therefore, EPA is proposing to revoke the tolerance
in newly designated 40 CFR 180.200(a) on potato with an expiration/
revocation date of December 31, 2014.
    In addition, because it is no longer Agency practice to distinguish
between preharvest and postharvest applications in the tolerance
definitions, EPA is proposing to revise the commodity terminology in
newly designated 40 CFR 180.200(a) from ``apricot, postharvest'' to
``apricot,'' ``carrot, roots, postharvest'' to ``carrot, roots,''
``cherry, sweet, postharvest,'' to ``cherry, sweet,'' ``nectarine,
postharvest'' to ``nectarine,'' ``peach, postharvest,'' to ``peach,''
``plum, prune, fresh, postharvest'' to ``plum, prune, fresh,'' and
``sweet potato, postharvest,'' to ``sweet potato, roots.''
    2. Formetanate hydrochloride. In the Federal Register of July 13,
2011 (76 FR 41250) (FRL-8879-7), EPA published a notice of receipt of
requests to voluntarily amend certain formetanate registrations to
delete uses for apple, peach, and pear, and therefore terminate the
last registrations for use of formetanate hydrochloride in or on those
commodities. In the Federal Registers of September 14, 2011 (76 FR
56753) (FRL-8888-2) and November 16, 2011 (76 FR 71021) (FRL-9327-1),
EPA approved the cancellation order for amendments to terminate product
uses and amended the order to allow registrants to sell and distribute
existing stocks of the affected products until January 31, 2012 (which
extended the deadline by 60 days beyond that previously allowed in the
September 14, 2011 cancellation order). The Agency allowed persons
other than the registrant to sell, distribute, or use existing stocks
of the affected products until December 31, 2013. Therefore, EPA is
proposing to revoke the tolerances in 40 CFR 180.276(a) on

apple; apple, wet pomace; peach; and pear with expiration/revocation
dates of December 31, 2013.
    In order to describe more clearly the measurement and scope or
coverage of the tolerances, EPA is proposing to revise the introductory
text containing the tolerance expression in 40 CFR 180.276(a) to read
as set out in the proposed regulatory text at the end of this document.

B. What is the agency's authority for taking this action?

    A ``tolerance'' represents the maximum level for residues of
pesticide chemicals legally allowed in or on raw agricultural
commodities and processed foods. Section 408 of FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a,
as amended by FQPA of 1996, Public Law 104-170, authorizes the
establishment of tolerances, exemptions from tolerance requirements,
modifications in tolerances, and revocation of tolerances for residues
of pesticide chemicals in or on raw agricultural commodities and
processed foods. Without a tolerance or exemption, food containing
pesticide residues is considered to be unsafe and therefore
``adulterated'' under FFDCA section 402(a), 21 U.S.C. 342(a). Such food
may not be distributed in interstate commerce (21 U.S.C. 331(a)). For a
food-use pesticide to be sold and distributed, the pesticide must not
only have appropriate tolerances under the FFDCA, but also must be
registered under FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.). Food-use pesticides not
registered in the United States must have tolerances in order for
commodities treated with those pesticides to be imported into the
United States.
    EPA's general practice is to propose revocation of tolerances for
residues of pesticide active ingredients on crops for which FIFRA
registrations no longer exist and on which the pesticide may therefore
no longer be used in the United States. EPA has historically been
concerned that retention of tolerances that are not necessary to cover
residues in or on legally treated foods may encourage misuse of
pesticides within the United States. Nonetheless, EPA will establish
and maintain tolerances even when corresponding domestic uses are
canceled if the tolerances, which EPA refers to as ``import
tolerances,'' are necessary to allow importation into the United States
of food containing such pesticide residues. However, where there are no
imported commodities that require these import tolerances, the Agency
believes it is appropriate to revoke tolerances for unregistered
pesticides in order to prevent potential misuse.
    Furthermore, as a general matter, the Agency believes that
retention of import tolerances not needed to cover any imported food
may result in unnecessary restriction on trade of pesticides and foods.
Under FFDCA section 408, a tolerance may only be established or
maintained if EPA determines that the tolerance is safe based on a
number of factors, including an assessment of the aggregate exposure to
the pesticide and an assessment of the cumulative effects of such
pesticide and other substances that have a common mechanism of
toxicity. In doing so, EPA must consider potential contributions to
such exposure from all tolerances. If the cumulative risk is such that
the tolerances in aggregate are not safe, then every one of these
tolerances is potentially vulnerable to revocation. Furthermore, if
unneeded tolerances are included in the aggregate and cumulative risk
assessments, the estimated exposure to the pesticide would be inflated.
Consequently, it may be more difficult for others to obtain needed
tolerances or to register needed new uses. To avoid potential trade
restrictions, the Agency is proposing to revoke tolerances for residues
on crops for which FIFRA registrations no longer exist, unless someone
expresses a need for such tolerances. Through this proposed rule, the
Agency is inviting individuals who need these import tolerances to
identify themselves and the tolerances that are needed to cover
imported commodities.
    Parties interested in retention of the tolerances should be aware
that additional data may be needed to support retention. These parties
should be aware that, under FFDCA section 408(f), if EPA determines
that additional information is reasonably required to support the
continuation of a tolerance, EPA may require that parties interested in
maintaining the tolerances provide the necessary information. If the
requisite information is not submitted, EPA may issue an order revoking
the tolerance at issue.

C. When do these actions become effective?

    EPA is proposing that the actions proposed in this document will
become effective on the date of publication of the final rule in the
Federal Register. EPA is proposing an expiration/revocation date of
December 31, 2014 for revocation of the dicloran tolerance on potato
and December 31, 2013 for revocation of the formetanate hydrochloride
tolerances on apple; apple, wet pomace; peach; and pear. The Agency
believes that these revocation dates allow users to exhaust stocks and
allow sufficient time for passage of treated commodities through the
channels of trade. However, if EPA is presented with information that
existing stocks would still be available and that information is
verified, the Agency will consider extending the expiration date of the
tolerance. If you have comments regarding existing stocks and whether
the effective date allows sufficient time for treated commodities to
clear the channels of trade, please submit comments as described under
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
    Any commodities listed in this proposed rule treated with the
pesticides subject to this proposed rule, and in the channels of trade
following the tolerance revocations, shall be subject to FFDCA section
408(1)(5), as established by FQPA. Under this unit, any residues of
these pesticides in or on such food shall not render the food
adulterated so long as it is shown to the satisfaction of the Food and
Drug Administration that:
    1. The residue is present as the result of an application or use of
the pesticide at a time and in a manner that was lawful under FIFRA,
and
    2. The residue does not exceed the level that was authorized at the
time of the application or use to be present on the food under a
tolerance or exemption from tolerance. Evidence to show that food was
lawfully treated may include records that verify the dates when the
pesticide was applied to such food.

III. International Residue Limits

    In making its tolerance decisions, EPA seeks to harmonize U.S.
tolerances with international standards whenever possible, consistent
with U.S. food safety standards and agricultural practices. EPA
considers the international maximum residue limits (MRLs) established
by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), as required by FFDCA
section 408(b)(4). The Codex Alimentarius is a joint United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization food
standards program, and it is recognized as an international food safety
standards-setting organization in trade agreements to which the United
States is a party. EPA may establish a tolerance that is different from
a Codex MRL; however, FFDCA section 408(b)(4) requires that EPA explain
the reasons for departing from the Codex level.
    The Codex has not established a MRL for formetanate hydrochloride
or MRL for dicloran in or on potatoes.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    In this proposed rule, EPA is proposing to revoke specific
tolerances established under FFDCA section 408. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this type of action (e.g.,
tolerance revocation for which extraordinary circumstances do not
exist) from review under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory
Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this
proposed rule has been exempted from review under Executive Order 12866
due to its lack of significance, this proposed rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13211, entitled ``Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001). This proposed rule does not contain any
information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., or impose any enforceable
duty or contain any unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4). Nor does
it require any special considerations as required by Executive Order
12898, entitled ``Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in
Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February
16, 1994); or OMB review or any other Agency action under Executive
Order 13045, entitled ``Protection of Children from Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This
action does not involve any technical standards that would require
Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant to
section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note). Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.), the Agency previously assessed whether revocations of
tolerances might significantly impact a substantial number of small
entities and concluded that, as a general matter, these actions do not
impose a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. This analysis was published on December 17, 1997 (62 FR
66020) (FRL-5753-1), and was provided to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy
of the Small Business Administration. Taking into account this
analysis, and available information concerning the pesticides listed in
this proposed rule, the Agency hereby certifies that this proposed rule
will not have a significant negative economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. In a memorandum dated May 25, 2001, EPA
determined that eight conditions must all be satisfied in order for an
import tolerance or tolerance exemption revocation to adversely affect
a significant number of small entity importers, and that there is a
negligible joint probability of all eight conditions holding
simultaneously with respect to any particular revocation. This Agency
document is available in the docket of this proposed rule. Furthermore,
for the pesticides named in this proposed rule, the Agency knows of no
extraordinary circumstances that exist as to the present proposed rule
that would change the EPA's previous analysis. Any comments about the
Agency's determination should be submitted to the EPA along with
comments on the proposed rule, and will be addressed prior to issuing a
final rule. In addition, the Agency has determined that this action
will not have a substantial direct effect on 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132, entitled
``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). Executive Order 13132
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by State and local officials in the development of
regulatory policies that have federalism implications.'' ``Policies
that have federalism implications'' is defined in the Executive order
to include regulations that have ``substantial direct effects 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.'' This proposed rule directly regulates
growers, food processors, food handlers, and food retailers, not
States. This action does not alter the relationships or distribution of
power and responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption
provisions of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). For these same reasons, the
Agency has determined that this proposed rule does not have any
``tribal implications'' as described in Executive Order 13175, entitled
``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000). Executive Order 13175 requires EPA to develop
an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input by
tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies that have
tribal implications.'' ``Policies that have tribal implications'' is
defined in the Executive order to include regulations that have
``substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the
relationship between the Federal Government and the Indian tribes, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.'' This proposed rule will not have
substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, as specified in Executive Order 13175.
Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this proposed rule.

New Tolerance

    PP 6F7057. Syngenta Crop Protection, 410 Swing Road, P.O. Box
18300, Greensboro, NC 27419, proposes to establish a tolerance for
residues of the fungicide mandipropamid, benzeneacetamide, 4-chloro-N-
[2-[3-methoxy-4-(2-propynyloxy) phenyl]ethyl]-alpha-(2-propynyloxy) in
or on food commodities Brassica, Head and Stem, Subgroup 5A at 3 parts
per million (ppm); Brassica, Head and Stem, Subgroup 5B at 30 ppm;
Cucurbit Vegetables, Group 9 at 0.3 ppm; Fruiting Vegetables, Group 8
at 1 ppm; Tuberous and Corm Vegetables, Subgroup 1C at 0.01 ppm; Grapes
at 2 ppm; Raisins at 4 ppm; Onions, dry bulb at 0.05 ppm; Onions, green
at 4 ppm; and Tomato, paste at 1.3 ppm. The analytical method involves
extraction of mandipropamid residues from crop samples by
homogenization with acetonitrile:water (80:20 v/v). Extracts are
centrifuged and aliquots diluted with water prior to being cleaned-up
using polymeric solid-phase extraction cartridges. Residues of
mandipropamid are quantified using high performance liquid
chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (LC-MS/MS). This
method has been successfully validated at an independent facility and
therefore, suitable for use as the enforcement method for the
determination of residues of mandipropamid in crops. The multi-residue
method was not successful at determining residues of mandipropamid.

[Docket No. OSHA-2009-0026]

Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services, Inc.: Grant of
Expansion of Recognition

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 of Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services,
Inc. (BVCPS) as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).

DATES: The expansion of the scope of recognition becomes effective on
April 22, 2021.

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 Labor, telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>;
email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    General and technical information: Contact Mr. Kevin Robinson,
Director, Office of Technical Programs and Coordination Activities,
Directorate of Technical Support and Emergency Management, Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, phone:
(202) 693-2110 or email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of Final Decision

    OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of Bureau Veritas Consumer Product Services (BVCPS) as a
NRTL. BVCPS's expansion covers the addition of two recognized test
sites and twenty-one

recognized test standards to the 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.
    BVCPS currently has one facility (site) recognized by OSHA for
product testing and certification, with headquarters located at: Bureau
Veritas Consumer Products Services, Inc., One Distribution Circle,
Suite #1, Littleton, MA 01460. A complete list of BVCPS's scope of
recognition is available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/csl.html.
    BVCPS submitted an application, dated June 28, 2018 (OSHA-2009-
0026-0083), to expand recognition to include the addition of two
recognized testing and certification sites. BVCPS amended this
application on May 20, 2020, to include the addition of twenty-one
recognized test standards. The amended application listed an additional
standard, UL 962, which is already included in BVCPS's NRTL scope of
recognition and will not be considered in this notice. The first new
site is located at: Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services (H.K.)
Ltd. Taoyuan Branch, No. 19, Hwa Ya 2nd Rd., Wen Hwa Vil., Kewi Shan
Dist., Taoyuan City, Taiwan. The second new site is located at: LCIE
China Company Limited, Building 4, No. 518, Xin Zhuan Road, CaoHejiing
Songjiang High-Tech Park, Shanghai 201612 China. OSHA staff performed
on-site reviews of BVCPS Shanghai, China's testing facility on February
27-28, 2019 and BVCPS Taoyuan Branch's testing facility on March 5-6,
2019, in which the assessors found some non-conformances with the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7. BVCPS addressed these non-conformances
satisfactorily, and OSHA made a preliminary decision to approve the
application.
    OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing BVCPS's expansion
application in the Federal Register on February 23, 2021 (86 FR 11001).
The agency requested comments by March 10, 2021, but received no
comments in response to this notice. OSHA now is proceeding with this
final notice to grant expansion of BVCPS's scope of recognition.
    To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to
BVCPS'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. Docket No. OSHA-2009-0026 contains all materials
in the record concerning BVCPS'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>.

II. Final Decision and Order

    OSHA staff examined BVCPS's expansion application, the capability
to meet the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on a review of this evidence, OSHA finds that BVCPS
meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of the
recognition, subject to the specified limitations, and conditions
listed. OSHA, therefore, is proceeding with this final notice to grant
BVCPS's scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of BVCPS's
recognition to include the sites at Shanghai, China and Taoyuan City,
Taiwan, in addition to the testing and certification of products for
demonstration of conformance to the test standards listed below in
Table 1.

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

    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 standards listed above as American National Standards. However,
for convenience, the use of the designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation may
occur. Under the NRTL Program's policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 1-0.3,
Appendix C, paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized for a particular 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,
BVCPS must abide by the following conditions of the recognition:
    1. BVCPS 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. BVCPS must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    3. BVCPS must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on BVCPS'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 BVCPS, subject to the limitations and
conditions specified above.
