AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve revisions to the Iowa State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State on April 28, 2009. The
purpose of these revisions is to update existing air quality rules;
make corrections, clarifications and improvements; and to add
information with regard to the application of permit exemptions. EPA is
proposing to approve the SIP revisions pursuant to section 110 of the
Clean Air Act.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
April 5, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2010-0011, by mail to Tracey Casburn, Environmental Protection
Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th Street,

detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tracey Casburn at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
by e-mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's revision as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse
comments to this action. A detailed rationale for the approval is set
forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are
received in response to this action, no further activity is
contemplated in relation to this action. If EPA receives relevant
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed action. EPA will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this
action should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives
adverse comment on part of this rule and if that part can be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts of
the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For additional
information, see the direct final rule which is located in the rules
section of this Federal Register.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR)
abstracted below is being forwarded to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for review and comments. A Federal Register Notice with a
60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following information
collection was published May 21, 2018, and the comment period ended
July 20, 2018. One comment unrelated to the ICR was submitted into the
docket.

DATES: Written comments should be submitted by August 27, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be submitted to the attention of the
DOT/OST Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th

    Title: Letter of Interest and Application Forms for the Railroad
Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing and Transportation
Infrastructure Financing and Innovation Act Credit Programs.
    Type of Review: Modification of existing information collections.
    Abstract: The Department of Transportation (the Department) has
submitted an ICR to OMB to approve modifications to two currently
approved ICRs. As part of the modifications to the ICRs, one ICR will
be integrated into the other ICR. The modified and integrated ICR will
be used to allow entities to apply for Railroad Rehabilitation and
Improvement Financing (RRIF) and

Transportation Infrastructure Financing and Innovation Act (TIFIA)
credit assistance using a common set of forms, rather than having a
separate set of forms for each of RRIF and TIFIA. The new, integrated
forms have also been updated to reflect changes in law, streamlining of
the credit programs, and efficiencies in the application process
adopted by the Department. However, the general process of applying for
credit assistance is not changing; applications are still accepted on a
rolling basis. The ICR continues to be necessary for the Department to
evaluate projects and project sponsors for credit program eligibility
and creditworthiness as required by law.
    Respondents: State and local governments, transit agencies,
government-sponsored authorities, special authorities, special
districts, ports, private railroads, and certain other private
entities.

of interest (LOIs), twelve (12) TIFIA LOIs, eight (8) RRIF
applications, and twelve (12) TIFIA applications.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: For RRIF LOIs and
applications, 960 hours; for TIFIA LOIs and applications 1,440 hours.
    The estimated burdens are itemized in the following table:

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55232; File No. SR-NYSEArca-2007-09]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
of Proposed Rule Change Relating to Expanding the Business Activities
of Archipelago Securities, L.L.C.

February 2, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on January 25, 2007, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been substantially prepared by NYSE
Arca. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on
the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    NYSE Arca is proposing to expand the business activities of
Archipelago Securities, L.L.C. (``Archipelago Securities''), a
registered broker-dealer, a member of several self-regulatory
organizations including the NASD, and a facility of the Exchange. With
this filing, the Exchange proposes that, in addition to providing an
optional outbound order routing service for the Exchange, Archipelago
Securities shall act as a marketing agent on behalf of NYSE Arca Tech
100 Index (the ``Index'') and NYSE Arca Tech 100 ETF (the ``ETF'') and
provide reasonable services attendant thereto.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, NYSE Arca included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. NYSE Arca has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections
A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    In October 2001, the Commission approved Wave Securities, L.L.C.
(``Wave'') to operate as a facility of the Exchange, as that term is
defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Act.\3\ At that time, the Commission
authorized Wave to perform outbound router services for the Exchange,
as a facility of the Exchange. Archipelago Securities succeeded Wave in
the second quarter of 2003 and assumed certain of Wave's duties,
including the outbound router function. The Commission subsequently re-
approved the outbound router function as a facility of the Exchange in
connection with the acquisition of the Pacific Exchange, Inc. by
Archipelago Holdings, Inc., the parent company of the Exchange.\4\
Pursuant to the Archipelago/PCX Acquisition Release, any expansion of
the business activities of Archipelago Securities must be approved by
the Commission. Most recently, the Commission approved the expansion of
the business activities of Archipelago Securities to include, as a
facility of the Exchange, the function of

routing option orders for members of the Exchange.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 44983 (October 25,
2001), 66 FR 55225 (November 1, 2001) (SR-PCX-00-25).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52497 (September 22,
2005), 70 FR 56949 (September 29, 2005) (SR-PCX-2005-90)
(``Archipelago/PCX Acquisition Release'').
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54238 (July 28,
2006), 71 FR 44758 (August 7, 2006) (SR-NYSEArca-2006-13).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With this filing, the Exchange proposes that Archipelago Securities
act as a marketing agent on behalf of the Index and the ETF and provide
reasonable services attendant thereto. This proposed business activity
has no connection to Archipelago Securities' facility functions
described above. As marketing agent for the Index and the ETF,
Archipelago Securities will develop a marketing plan designed to
advertise, promote, and increase public awareness of the Index and the
ETF within the financial services industry and investing public
(``Marketing Plan''), including: branding, promotional activities,
development and design of marketing materials, collateral and media
campaigns (i.e., electronic media, print media, Internet, etc.), and
hosting a Web site for the ETF. Pursuant to this Marketing Plan,
Archipelago Securities has drafted and expects to imminently execute an
agreement with B.C. Zeigler and Company to provide the foregoing
services for a period of one (1) year and renewable, upon agreement of
both parties, annually thereafter.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) \6\ of the
Act, in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(8) \7\ of
the Act, in particular, in that it does not impose any burden on
competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes
of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received from Members, Participants or Others

    The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on
the proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the Exchange consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve such proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2013-25-11, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A318-111, -112, -121,
and -122 airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132,
and -133 airplanes; Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -
233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231,
and -232 airplanes. AD 2013-25-11 requires repetitive inspections of
the 80VU rack lower lateral fittings, upper fittings, and shelves for
damage, repetitive inspections of the 80VU rack lower central support
for cracking, and corrective action if necessary. AD 2013-25-11 also
specifies optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections.
Since the FAA issued AD 2013-25-11, new damage was reported on
airplanes that had complied with certain actions in that AD. This
proposed AD would expand the applicability, remove the optional
terminating action, and require new repetitive inspections, as
specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which
is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 6,
2021.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this proposed AD.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily

airplanes; Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233
airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and
-232 airplanes. AD 2013-25-11 requires repetitive inspections of the
80VU rack lower lateral fittings, upper fittings, and shelves for
damage, repetitive inspections of the 80VU rack lower central support
for cracking, and corrective action if necessary. AD 2013-25-11 also
specifies optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections.
The FAA issued AD 2013-25-11 to address damage or cracking of the 80VU
fittings and supports, which could lead to possible disconnection of
the cable harnesses to one or more computers, and if occurring during a
critical phase of flight, could result in reduced control of the
airplane.

Actions Since AD 2013-25-11 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2013-25-11, new damage was reported on
airplanes that had accomplished the actions specified in Airbus Service
Bulletin A320-53-1215 and Airbus Service Bulletin A320-25-1557, which
AD 2013-25-11 specified as optional terminating action for the
repetitive inspections. Damage was also found on airplanes on which
Airbus mod 34804 (which provides the same modifications specified in
Airbus Service Bulletin A320-53-1215 and Airbus Service Bulletin A320-
25-1557) was embodied. Additional airplane models have also been
determined to be subject to the unsafe condition. The FAA has therefore
determined that new repetitive inspections of the 80VU rack are
necessary to address the unsafe condition, and the applicability needs
to be revised to include the additional airplane models.
    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0045, dated February 16, 2021
(EASA AD 2021-0045) (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
for all Airbus SAS Model A318-111, A318-112, A319-111, A319-112, A319-
113, A319-114, A319-115, A319-131, A319-132, A319-133, A320-211, A320-
212, A320-214, A320-215, A320-216, A320-231, A320-232, A320-233, A321-
111, A321-112, A321-131, A321-211, A321-212, A321-213, A321-231 and
A321-232 airplanes. EASA AD 2021-0045 supersedes EASA AD 2012-0134
(which corresponds to FAA AD 2013-25-11). Model A320-215 airplanes are
not certificated by the FAA and are not included on the U.S. type
certificate data sheet; this AD therefore does not include those
airplanes in the applicability.
    This proposed AD was prompted by reports of damaged lower lateral
fittings of the 80VU rack, and reports of new damage on airplanes on
which certain optional service information had been accomplished. The
FAA is proposing this AD to address damage or cracking of the 80VU
fittings and supports, which could lead to possible disconnection of
the cable harnesses to one or more computers, and if occurring during a
critical phase of flight, could result in reduced control of the
airplane. See the MCAI for additional background information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0045 describes procedures for repetitive special
detailed inspections of the 80VU rack lower lateral fittings, lower
central support, upper fittings, central post, and shelves attachments
for discrepancies (including broken fittings, missing bolts, an
electronics rack FIN 80VU that is in contact with structure, any bush
that has migrated, burred material, and cracks), and corrective action
if necessary. Corrective actions include modification, repair, and
replacement. EASA AD 2021-0045 also describes procedures for reporting
inspection results to Airbus.
    This material 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.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD because the FAA
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2021-0045 described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2021-0045
will be incorporated by reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed
AD would, therefore, require compliance with EASA AD 2021-0045 in its
entirety, through that incorporation, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.
Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular
section in the EASA AD does not mean that operators need comply only
with that section. For example, where the AD requirement refers to
``all required actions and compliance times,'' compliance with this AD
requirement is not limited to the section titled ``Required Action(s)
and Compliance Time(s)'' in the EASA AD. Service information specified
in EASA AD 2021-0045 that is required for compliance with EASA AD 2021-
0045 will be available on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov
by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-0506 after the FAA
final rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 1,528 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 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 proposed reporting requirement in this proposed 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 $129,880, or $85 per product.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition actions that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these on-condition actions:

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

    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this
proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost
impact on affected operators. The FAA does not control warranty
coverage for affected operators. As a result, the FAA has included all
known costs in the cost estimate.

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 proposed AD
is 2120-0056. The paperwork cost associated with this proposed 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 proposed 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.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

[EPA-R05-OAR-2012-0891; FRL-9900-17-Region 5]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Wisconsin; Removal of Gasoline Vapor Recovery From Southeast Wisconsin

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a state implementation plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources on November
12, 2012, concerning the state's Stage II vapor recovery (Stage II)
program in southeast Wisconsin. The revision removes Stage II
requirements as a component of the Wisconsin ozone SIP. The submittal
also includes a demonstration under section 110(l) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) that addresses emissions impacts associated with the removal of
the program.

DATES: This final rule is effective on December 4, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information
section is arranged as follows:

I. What is being addressed by this document?
II. What comments did we receive on the proposed SIP revision?
III. What action is EPA taking?
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What is being addressed by this document?

    On June 11, 2013, at 78 FR 34966, EPA proposed to remove the Stage
II requirements under NR 420.045 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code
from the state's Federally-approved SIP. The revision included copies
of 2011 Wisconsin Act 196 enacted on April 2, 2012, authorizing the
termination of Stage II requirements in Wisconsin; a summary of
MOVES2010b modeling results and Wisconsin specific calculations based
on EPA guidance used to calculate program benefits and demonstrate
widespread use of onboard refueling vapor recovery systems in southeast
Wisconsin; and a demonstration under section 110(l) of the CAA that
includes offset emission credits.

II. What comments did we receive on the proposed SIP revision?

    EPA provided a 30 day review and comment period on the proposed
action. The comment period closed on July 11, 2013. EPA received no
adverse comments. EPA did however, receive one comment supporting EPA's
approval of this revision. The commenter also requested that EPA
``confirm and identify in the final approval whether Wisconsin intended
to voluntarily use more emissions credits than necessary, and if so,
identify the fact that the quantity of emission credits that were
necessary to offset the shortfall were only those that were equal to
the shortfall''. EPA notes that nothing in the state's submittal or the
proposal was intended to suggest that Wisconsin was using more
emissions credits than were necessary to offset the stated shortfall
identified by Wisconsin. The column entitled ``Difference (Shortfall-
Credit),'' presented in Table 3 of the proposal, highlights the amount
of equivalent VOC emissions credits that remain available to Wisconsin
after fully addressing the interim emissions shortfall from the removal
of the Stage II program in southeast Wisconsin. They are intended to
demonstrate that the available equivalent VOC emissions credits
identified by the state are more than adequate to cover the interim
Stage II shortfall.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving the revision to the Wisconsin ozone SIP submitted
on November 12, 2012, concerning the Stage II program in southeast
Wisconsin. EPA finds that the revision meets all applicable
requirements and will not interfere with reasonable further progress or
attainment of any of the national ambient air quality standards.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by January 3, 2014. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

[Loveland Products, Inc.]

[IN-10704]

	EPA has received a pesticide petition (IN-10704) from Loveland Products, Inc., 3005 Rocky Mountain Avenue, Loveland, CO 80538 proposing, pursuant to section 408(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), to amend 40 CFR part 180 to amend the exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for

	[Phenol, 2-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-6-dodecyl-4-methyl- (CAS No. 23328-53-2)] as an inert ingredient (UV stabilizer) not to exceed 10% w/w in pesticide formulations under 40 CFR §180.920 (pre-harvest uses).  The petition proposes to amend the exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of Phenol, 2-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-6-dodecyl-4-methyl- in or on [all] raw agricultural commodities. CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 is approved as an inert ingredient (UV stabilizer) for use at no more than 0.6% in insecticide formulations applied to adzuki beans, canola, chickpeas, cotton, faba beans, field peas, lentils, linola, linseed, lucerne, lupins, mung beans, navy beans, pigeon peas, safflower, sunflower, and vetch (40 CFR 180.920).  EPA has determined that the petition contains data or information regarding the elements set forth in section 408 (d)(2) of FDDCA; however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data supports granting of the petition. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on the petition.

A. Residue Chemistry

	1. Plant metabolism. [Not applicable. Remove based on the fact that this information is not required for the establishment of a tolerance exemption.]

	2. Analytical method. [Not applicable.  The petition proposes to amend the exemption from the requirement of a tolerance and no analytical method is required for establishing or amending a tolerance exemption.]

	3. Magnitude of residues. [Not applicable.  Remove based on the fact that this information is not required for the establishment of a tolerance exemption.]

B. Toxicological Profile
[In addition to data on phenol, 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-6-dodecyl-4-methyl- (CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2; Tinuvin(R) 571), toxicity data are available on five surrogates:  drometrizole (Tinuvin(R) P), octrizole (UV 329), Tinuvin(R) 328, Tinuvin(R) 234, and 2-(2'-hydroxy-3,5;-di-tert-butylphenyl benzotriazole (HDBB; UV-320).  The five surrogates have an identical molecular base, a benzotriazole moiety plus a mono- or di-substituted phenol.  Therefore, data on these five surrogates is used to the support the toxicity database for CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2.

EPA previously considered data for CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 and structurally-related surrogate chemicals (Petition Nos. 8E7362 and 8E7363) and the data considered in those petitions, publicly available data not considered in previous risk assessments, and new data for CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 are summarized below.  .  Based on discussions with the Agency and on EPA's previous risk assessment that retained the 10X FQPA safety factor due to an incomplete database (lack of a reproduction study), Loveland Products Inc. conducted an extended one-generation rat reproduction study with CAS 23328-53-2.  That report is submitted with this petition.  These data in addition to other available data not considered previously should allow the Agency to remove the 10X FQPA safety factor.]

	1. Acute toxicity.  [Acute toxicity studies on CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 are not available; however, studies are available on drometrizole, octrizole, Tinuvin 328 and Tinuvin 234.  The acute oral toxicity of drometrizole, octrizole, Tinuvin 328 and Tinuvin 234 is low with LD50s ranging from <1000 mg/kg (octrizole) to >10000 mg/kg (drometrizole).  The acute dermal LD50 of Tinuvin 234 is >2000 mg/kg.  The acute inhalation LC50 of drometrizole is >1420 mg/m[3] or 1.42 mg/L. Drometrizole is minimally irritating to the rabbit eye and was not irritating to rabbit skin.  Drometrizole was tested in a maximization test in guinea pigs (positive), a human patch test (negative) and a LLNA assay (negative).]

	2. Genotoxicty. [Genotoxicity studies are not available on CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2; however, studies are available on drometrizole, octrizole, Tinuvin 328 and Tinuvin 234.  Drometrizole was tested in a dominant lethal assay in mice, a somatic mutation assay in Chinese hamsters (in vivo), a chromosomal aberration assay in Chinese hamsters (in vivo), in two Ames Salmonella assays and a UDS assay in primary rat hepatocytes.  Drometrizole was negative in all of the assays except for the UDS assay.  Octrizole was tested in an Ames Salmonella assay in which it was negative.  Tinuvin 328 was tested in two Ames Salmonella assays and was negative in both assays.  Tinuvin 234 was tested in a nucleus anomaly assay (in vivo), a sister chromatid exchange assay (in vivo), an Ames Salmonella assay and an UDS assay in primary rat hepatocytes.  The results of all assays were negative.  A weight of the evidence on the results of the genotoxicity studies conducted on phenol benzotriazole would indicate that they have no genotoxic potential.]

	3. Reproductive and developmental toxicity. [An extended one-generation rat reproduction study is available on CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 and a combined repeated dose toxicity reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test is available on drometrizole.  In the CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 study, the NOAEL for parental and reproductive toxicity was 10,000 ppm (500 mg/kg/d).  The NOEL for offspring toxicity was considered to be 2500 ppm based on effects on body temperature in PND 4 pups and on TSH levels in PND 22 female pups and the NOAEL was considered to be 5,000 ppm (250 mg/kg/d) based on the decreased body weight and body weight gain observed in pups at 10000 ppm from PND 4 to 21.  After weaning, body weights were comparable to control body weights.  In the drometrizole study, the reproductive/developmental toxicity NOAEL was the highest dose tested, 300 mg/kg/day.  The NOEL in males was considered to be <30 mg/kg/day based on increased relative liver weights observed in all dose groups and 30 mg/kg/day based on effects on liver and kidney weights and kidney histopathology.  The NOAEL was concluded to be 300 mg/kg/day for males and 30 mg/kg/day in females based on kidney lesions.

Developmental toxicity studies are not available on CAS 23328-53-2; however, studies are available on drometrizole (mouse and rat) and Tinuvin 234 (rat).  In the rat and mouse studies on drometrizole, the NOAEL for maternal and developmental toxicity was considered to 1000 mg/kg/day, the limit dose for studies of this type.  For the Tinuvin 234 study, the maternal NOAEL was considered to be 3000 mg/kg/day and the developmental NOAEL was considered to be 300 mg/kg/day based on the findings at 1000 mg/kg/day.]

	4. Subchronic toxicity. [Subchronic toxicity studies are not available on CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2; however, 28-day and/or 90-day rat studies are available on drometrizole, octrizole, Tinuvin 328, Tinuvin 234 and HDBB and 90-day dog studies are available on drometrizole and Tinuvin 328.  The liver and kidney were the primary target organs in these studies.  The NOAEL in a 90-day dietary rata study on drometrizole was considered to be the low dose (0.2% in diet) based on the effects on body weights, hematology parameters and kidney histopathology observed at the mid and high dose.  The NOAEL in a 30-day dietary rat study on octrizole was considered to be 5.658 mg/kg/day, the highest dose tested.  Based on the results from a 90-day dietary rat study on Tinuvin 238, the NOAEL was considered to be < 100 ppm and the NOAEL was considered to be 100 ppm (approximately 20 mg/kg/day) based on increased liver weights and microscopic findings in the liver.  In a 90-day dietary rat study on Tinuvin 234, the NOAEL was considered to be 50 ppm or approximately 2.5 mg/kg/day, based upon findings in the liver (increased liver weights and microscopic findings) at 300 ppm (approximately 15 mg/kg/day).  Seventeen-day, 28-day and 90-day gavage studies on HDBB were conducted in rats.  The 17-day study was conducted using PND 4 to PND 21 rat pups.  The NOAEL was 2.5 mg/kg/day in male and female pups based on liver pathology observed at 12.5 mg/kg/day.  The 28-day and 90-day studies were conducted in adult rats.  The NOAEL in the 28-day study was determined to be <0.5 mg/kg/day in males and 2.5 mg/kg/day in females based on the increased A/G ratio observed in males at all dose levels and effects on liver weights and liver histopathology in in females observed at 12.5 mg/kg/day.  The NOAEL in the 90-day study was 0.1 mg/kg/day in males and 2.5 mg/kg/day in females based on hematology and clinical chemistry findings, increased liver weights and liver pathology observed in males at 0.5 mg/kg/day and in females at 12.5 mg/kg/day.  In the 90-day non-rodent drometrizole, the NOAEL was considered to be 1000 ppm or 31.75 mg/kg/day in males and 34.6 mg/kg/day in females based on increased levels of alanine aminotransferase at 3000 ppm and above.  For Tinuvin 328 90-dog study, the NOAEL was considered to be 30 mg/kg/day based on body weight effects and histopathology (primarily in the liver) observed at 60 mg/kg/day.]

	5. Neurotoxicity:  [No neurotoxicity studies were available on CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 or its surrogates; however, no indications of neurotoxicity were observed in any of the repeated dose studies summarized above.  In addition, some FOB parameters and motor activity was evaluated in the extended one-generation rat reproduction study with CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 and no effects were observed up to a dose of 10000 ppm (~500 mg/kg/day).  Body temperature was reduced in PND 4 pups, but not PND 0 pups in the absence of any other indications of neurotoxicity.  Since the effect occurred in conjunction with other toxicity in the pups (reduced body weight and body weight gain), it was attributed to general toxicity.]

      6.  Chronic toxicity. [A chronic toxicity study is not available on CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2; however, a study (gavage) is available on HDBB in rats.  In this study, the NOAEL was 0.1 mg/kg/day in males and 2.5 mg/kg/day in females based on hematology and clinical chemistry findings, increased liver weights and liver pathology observed in males at 0.5 mg/kg/day and of hematology findings, increased liver weights and liver pathology in females at 12.5 mg/kg/day.  The study authors concluded from the results of a second study that castration reduced but did not abolish the gender differences in susceptibility of male and female rats to the effects of HDBB.  A carcinogenicity study on CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 is not available; however, a study in mice is available on drometrizole.  The NOAEL in this study was greater than 64 mg/kg/day in male mice and 62 mg/kg/day in female mice.  Drometrizole was not carcinogenic to mice under the conditions of this study.

	7. Animal metabolism. [A metabolism study is not available on CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2; however, a study in male rats is available on drometrizole.  Drometrizole was mainly excreted in the urine and was completely eliminated by 168 hours after administration.  Residual radioactivity was found in the liver, blood, kidney and aorta.]

	8. Metabolite toxicology. [No studies are available on the toxicity of CAS 23328-53-2 or its surrogates.]

	9. Endocrine disruption. [No studies on the potential endocrine disruption potential of CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 have been conducted.  However, estrogen receptor competitive binding assays are available on drometrizole, Tinuvin 328 and HDBB and yeast two-hybrid estrogen assays (which tested for agonist and antagonist activity) have been conducted on drometrizole, Tinuvin 328, Tinuvin 234 and HDBB.  The results of these assays indicate that these compounds have no estrogen agonist or antagonist activity.]

C. Aggregate Exposure

	1. Dietary exposure. [Concentrations of CAS Reg. No. will be 10% in pesticide formulations applied to growing crops.  As a result, humans may be exposed to very low residue levels through the diet from food and water.  The lowest NOAEL of 250 mg/kg/day (extended one-generation rat reproduction study) is selected for risk characterization of chronic dietary exposures to CAS Reg. No 23328-53-2.  Although the NOAEL in this study was lower in pups than adults, the pup body weight effects were observed only during lactation when dietary intake for offspring is the highest; therefore, an additional FQPA safety factor is not considered necessary.  Assuming standard 100X uncertainty factors for inter- and intra-species variability and an FQPA safety factor of 1X, the reference dose for chronic dietary exposures of CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2, cRfD, is 2.5 mg/kg/day.]

	i. Food. [Using I-DEEM, the estimated chronic dietary exposure estimates for a generic inert ingredient that is assumed to constitute up to 50% of a formulated pesticide product are presented Table 1.  Chronic dietary exposures based on default residues on all foods range from 0.142 mg/kg/day for Youth 13-19 years old to 0.621 mg/kg/day for children aged 1-2 years old.  CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 is proposed to be used at no more than 10% in pesticide formulations so the dietary exposures are lower ranging from 0.0288 mg/kg/day for Youth 13-19 years old to 0.125 mg/kg/day for children aged 1-2 years old.]

	ii. Drinking water. [Chronic dietary exposures based on default residues on all foods and drinking water at 100 ppb range from 0.144 mg/kg/day for Youth 13-19 years old to 0.624 mg/kg/day for children aged 1-2 years old (Table 1).  CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 is proposed to be used at no more than 10% in pesticide formulations so the chronic dietary (food + water) exposure ranges from 0.0303 mg/kg/day for Youth 13-19 years old to 0.128 mg/kg/day for children aged 1-2 years old.

	2. Non-dietary exposure. [There are no proposed uses for CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 that would result in residential exposures to the U.S. population.  Workers may experience dermal exposure during application of pesticide formulations if personal protective clothing is not worn.  Concentrations of CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 are less than 10% in the formulation and dermal exposure will be limited by the irritation potential of the formulation.  Thus, a safety finding for CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 can be concluded for non-dietary exposures.]

D. Cumulative Effects

	[It has not been determined that CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 has a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances.]

E. Safety Determination

	1. U.S. population. [A dietary exposure assessment using current EPA inert screening level methodology (I-DEEM) was conducted.  Based on the conservative I-DEEM dietary exposure estimates, there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the US population from the aggregate exposure to CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 used at 10% w/w in pesticide formulations.  The chronic dietary exposure is estimated to be 0.1915 mg/kg/day (1.62% cPAD) for the general U.S. population.]

	2. Infants and children. [FFDCA section 408 provides that EPA shall apply an additional tenfold (10X) margin of safety for infants and children in the case of threshold effects to account for pre- and post-natal toxicity and the completeness of the data base and exposure, unless EPA determines that a different margin of exposure (safety) will be safe for infants and children.  Based on the available information discussed herein, Loveland Products Inc. believes that the FQPA safety factor should be reduced to 1X for the reasons described below.  The cRfD is therefore equivalent to the chronic population adjusted dose (cPAD).

   * The use of CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 at 10% w/w in pesticide formulations resulted in I-DEEM estimated chronic dietary exposures to children 1-2 years of age, the potentially most exposed population, of 0.624 mg/kg/d (5.12% cPAD).
   * There is a scientifically sound mammalian toxicity database for CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 and structurally related surrogate compounds that includes acute, subchronic, developmental, reproductive, and genotoxicity data.  The data did not indicate developmental, reproductive, or neurological endpoints or genotoxic effects.
   * There was also no consistent evidence of effects on the nervous system in the acute, repeated-dose oral toxicity or reproduction studies.
   * CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2 does not belong to a class of chemicals known or suspected of having adverse effects on the estrogen receptor or endocrine system.]

F. International Tolerances

	[There are no known CODEX or international tolerances or tolerance exemptions established for CAS Reg. No. 23328-53-2.]

[Docket No. FAA-2022-0436; Airspace Docket No. 22-ASW-1]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment and Establishment of Air Traffic Service (ATS) Routes;
South Central United States

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This action corrects a final rule published by the FAA in the
Federal Register on October 27, 2022, that amends VHF Omnidirectional
Range (VOR) Federal airways V-198, V-212, V-556, and V-558; amends Area
Navigation (RNAV) route T-256; and establishes RNAV route T-466. In the
new RNAV route T-466, the final rule identified the CHILD, TX, route
point as a waypoint (WP) and the SEEDS, TX, route point as a Fix, in
error. This action makes editorial corrections to the reference of the
CHILD, TX, WP to change it to be reflected as a Fix and to the SEEDS,
TX, Fix to change it to be reflected as a WP. These corrections are
necessary to match the FAA National Airspace System Resource (NASR)
database information.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, December 29, 2022. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and
publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register (87 FR
65011; October 27, 2022), amending VOR Federal airways V-198, V-212, V-
556, and V-558; amending RNAV route T-256; and establishing RNAV route
T-466. Subsequent to publication, the FAA determined that the CHILD,
TX, route point was inadvertently identified as a WP and the SEEDS, TX,
route point was inadvertently identified as a Fix, in error. The
correct route point references are the CHILD, TX, Fix and the SEEDS,
TX, WP. This rule corrects those errors by changing the reference of
the CHILD, TX, WP to the CHILD, TX, Fix; and the reference of the
SEEDS, TX, Fix to the SEEDS, TX, WP.
    These are editorial changes only to match the FAA NASR database
information and do not alter the alignment of the affected T-466 route.
    United States Area Navigation Routes are published in paragraph
6011 of FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective
September 15, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The RNAV T-route listed in this document will be published subsequently
in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Correction to Final Rule

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, references
to the CHILD, TX, WP and to the SEEDS, TX, Fix that are reflected in
Docket No. FAA-2022-0436, as published in the Federal Register of
October 27, 2022 (87 FR 65011), FR Doc. 2022-22164, are corrected as

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

[Docket No. OSHA-2007-0039]

Intertek Testing Services NA, 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 for Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc., as a
Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).

DATES: The expansion of the scope of recognition becomes effective on
August 19, 2022.

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>
or email [email protected].
    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; telephone
(202) 693-2110 or email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of Final Decision

    OSHA hereby gives notice of the expansion of the scope of
recognition of Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. (ITSNA) as a NRTL.
ITSNA's expansion covers the addition of one test standard to the NRTL
scope of recognition.
    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. Each NRTL's scope of recognition includes (1) the
type of products the NRTL may test, with each type specified by the
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.
Recognition is not a delegation or grant of government authority;
however, recognition enables employers to use products approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require product testing and
certification.
    The agency processes an application by a NRTL for initial
recognition and for an expansion or renewal of this

recognition, following requirements in Appendix A, 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 the 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 ITSNA, 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.
    ITSNA submitted an application dated November 23, 2021, (OSHA-2007-
0039-0035), to expand their recognition to include one additional test
standard. The standard requested in the expansion application and
addressed here is a replacement standard for ISA 12.12.01, which is
currently included in ITSNA's NRTL Scope of Recognition. OSHA staff
performed detailed analysis of the application packets and reviewed
other pertinent information. OSHA did not perform any on-site reviews
in relation to this application.
    OSHA published the preliminary notice announcing ITSNA's expansion
application in the Federal Register on June 17, 2022 (87 FR 36539). The
agency requested comments by July 5, 2022, but it received no comments
in response to this notice. OSHA is now proceeding with this final
grant of expansion of ITSNA's NRTL recognition.
    To obtain or review copies of all public documents pertaining to
ITSNA's expansion 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-2007-0039
contains all materials in the record concerning ITSNA'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 ITSNA's expansion application, its capability
to meet the requirements of the test standards, and other pertinent
information. Based on its review of this evidence, OSHA finds that
ITSNA 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
ITSNA's expanded scope of recognition. OSHA limits the expansion of
ITSNA'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 ITSNA's NRTL
                          Scope of Recognition
------------------------------------------------------------------------
           Test standard                     Test standard title
------------------------------------------------------------------------
UL 121201.........................  Nonincendive Electrical Equipment
                                     for Use in Class I and Class II,
                                     Division 2 and Class III, Divisions
                                     1 and 2 Hazardous (Classified)
                                     Locations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

A. Conditions

    Recognition is contingent on continued compliance with 29 CFR
1910.7, including, but not limited to, abiding by the following
conditions of the recognition:
    1. ITSNA 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. ITSNA must meet all the terms of its recognition and comply with
all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and
    3. ITSNA must continue to meet the requirements for recognition,
including all previously published conditions on ITSNA'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 ITSNA as a NRTL, subject to the limitations and
conditions specified above.

III. Authority and Signature

    James S. Frederick, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington,
