SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of the Application for Expansion

    OSHA is providing notice that Bureau Veritas Consumer Product
Services, Inc. (BVCPS), is applying for expansion of recognition as a
NRTL. BVCPS requests the addition of two recognized testing sites and
twenty-two test standards 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 applications by a NRTL for initial recognition
and for an expansion or renewal of this recognition, following
requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix requires
that the agency publish two notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides a preliminary finding. In the second notice,
the agency provides the final decision on the application. These
notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or modifications of
that scope. OSHA maintains an informational web page for each NRTL,
including BVCPS, 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.
    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.

II. General Background on the Application

    BVCPS submitted an application, dated June 28, 2018 (OSHA-2009-
0026-0084), 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-two
recognized test standards. The first 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 site is located at: LCIE China Company Limited, Building 4, No.
518, Xin Zhuan Road, CaoHejiing Songjiang High-Tech Park, Shanghai,
201612 China. One of the standards requested in the application, UL
962, is already included in BVCPS's current NRTL scope of recognition
and will not be considered in this notice. OSHA staff performed on-site
reviews of BVCPS's Shanghai China 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 has made a preliminary decision to approve the
application.

    Table 1 below lists the appropriate test standards found in BVCPS's
application to expand BVCPS's NRTL scope of recognition for testing and
certification of products under the NRTL Program.

III. Preliminary Findings on the Application

    BVCPS submitted an acceptable application for expansion of the
scope of recognition. OSHA's review of the application file and
pertinent documentation indicates BVCPS can meet the requirements
prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding recognition to include the
addition of the twenty-one test standards for NRTL testing and
certification, as well as the two testing sites listed above. This
preliminary finding does not constitute an interim or temporary
approval of BVCPS's application.
    OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether BVCPS meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of recognition as a NRTL.
Comments should consist of pertinent written documents and exhibits.
Commenters needing more time to comment must submit a request in
writing, stating the reasons for the request. Commenters must submit
the written request for an extension by the due date for comments. OSHA
will limit any extension to 10 days unless the requester justifies a
longer period. OSHA may deny a request for an extension if the request
is not adequately justified. To obtain or review copies of the exhibits
identified in this notice, as well as comments submitted to the docket,
contact the Docket Office, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor. These materials also are
available online at http://www.regulations.gov under Docket No. OSHA-
2009-0026.
    OSHA staff will review all comments to the docket submitted in a
timely manner. After addressing the issues raised by these comments,
the agency will make a recommendation to the Assistant Secretary for
Occupational Safety and Health whether to grant BVCPS's application for
expansion of the scope of recognition. The Assistant Secretary will
make the final decision on granting the application. In making this
decision, the Assistant Secretary may undertake other proceedings
prescribed in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7.
    OSHA will publish a public notice of its final decision in the
Federal Register.

II. Background

    EPA has granted emergency exemptions to the following State and
Federal agencies. The emergency exemptions may take the following form:
Crisis, public health, quarantine, or specific.
    Under FIFRA section 18 (7 U.S.C. 136p), EPA can authorize the use
of a pesticide when emergency conditions exist. Authorizations
(commonly called emergency exemptions) are granted to State and Federal
agencies and are of four types:
    1. A ``specific exemption'' authorizes use of a pesticide against
specific pests on a limited acreage in a particular State. Most
emergency exemptions are specific exemptions.
    2. ``Quarantine'' and ``public health'' exemptions are emergency
exemptions issued for quarantine or public health purposes. These are
rarely requested.
    3. A ``crisis exemption'' is initiated by a State or Federal agency
(and is confirmed by EPA) when there is insufficient time to request
and obtain EPA permission for use of a pesticide in an emergency.
    EPA may deny an emergency exemption: If the State or Federal agency
cannot demonstrate that an emergency exists, if the use poses
unacceptable risks to the environment, or if EPA cannot reach a
conclusion that the proposed pesticide use is likely to result in ``a
reasonable certainty of no harm'' to human health, including exposure
of residues of the pesticide to infants and children.
    If the emergency use of the pesticide on a food or feed commodity
would result in pesticide chemical residues, EPA establishes a time-
limited tolerance meeting the ``reasonable certainty of no harm
standard'' of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA).
    In this document: EPA identifies the State or Federal agency
granted the exemption, the type of exemption, the pesticide authorized
and the pests, the crop or use for which authorized, and the duration
of the exemption.
