* Represents the standards that OSHA is adding to the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate Test Standards
In this notice, OSHA also announces
the final decision to add two new test
standards to the NRTL Program’s List of
Appropriate Test Standards. Table 2
below lists the standards that are new to
the NRTL Program. OSHA has
determined that these test standards are
appropriate test standards and will add
them to the NRTL Program’s List of
Appropriate Test Standards.

UL 248–19 .............
Test standard title
Requirements for Process Sealing Between Electrical Systems and Flammable or Combustible Process Fluids.
Standard for Low-Voltage Fuses—Part 19: Photovoltaic Fuses.
OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for
a particular test standard is limited to
equipment or materials for which OSHA
standards require third-party testing and
certification before using them in the
workplace. Consequently, if a test
standard also covers any products for
which OSHA does not require such
testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope
of recognition does not include these
products.
The American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) may approve the test
standard listed above as an American
National Standard. However, for
convenience, we may use the
designation of the standards-developing
organization for the standard as opposed
to the ANSI designation. Under the
NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA
Instruction CPL 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, UL
must abide by the following conditions
of the recognition:
1. UL must inform OSHA as soon as
possible, in writing, of any change of
ownership, facilities, or key personnel,
and of any major change in its
operations as a NRTL, and provide
details of the change(s);
2. UL must meet all the terms of its
recognition and comply with all OSHA
policies pertaining to this recognition;
and

3. UL must continue to meet the
requirements for recognition, including
all previously published conditions on
UL’s scope of recognition, in all areas
for which it has recognition.
Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR
1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope
of recognition of UL, subject to the
limitations and conditions specified
above. OSHA also adds two standards to
the NRTL Program’s List of Appropriate
Test Standards.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program ensures that information is in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (OSHA Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.)
authorizes information collection by
employers as necessary or appropriate
for enforcement of the OSH Act, or for
developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29
U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
that OSHA obtain such information
with minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of efforts in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The information collection
requirements in the Inorganic Arsenic
Standard provide protection for workers
from the adverse health effects
associated with exposure to inorganic
arsenic. The Inorganic Arsenic Standard
requires employers to: Monitor workers’
exposure to inorganic arsenic, and
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:50 Mar 04, 2022
Jkt 256001
notify workers of exposure-monitoring
results; establish, implement, and
update at least annually a written
compliance program to reduce
exposures to or below the permissible
exposure limit by means of engineering
and work practice controls; notify
anyone who cleans protective clothing
or equipment of the potentially harmful
effects of inorganic arsenic exposure;
develop, update, and maintain a
housekeeping and maintenance plan;
monitor worker health by providing
medical surveillance; post warning
signs, and apply labels to shipping and
storage containers of inorganic arsenic;
develop and maintain worker exposure
monitoring and medical records; and
provide workers with information about
their exposures and the health effects of
exposure to inorganic arsenic.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply. For
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the
Inorganic Arsenic Standard (29 CFR
1910.1018). The agency is proposing an
adjustment increase of 32 burden hours,
from 10,389 hours to 10,430 hours. The
increase in burden is due to an error in
the calculations and a change in
rounding of the burden hours and cost.
The numbers are not rounded until the
totals. The number of workers being
monitored and receiving medical exams
remains the same. The total capital cost
remains the same $1,120,896.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Inorganic Arsenic Standard (29
CFR 1910.1018).
OMB Number: 1218–0104.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits.
Number of Respondents: 889.
Frequency of Response: On occasion;

Notice.
AGENCY:
The Office of Polar Programs,
National Science Foundation, is giving
notice that an emergency relating to
considerations of human health and
safety caused hazardous waste to be
stored at McMurdo Station for more
than 15 months.
Hazardous waste in the form of
batteries, biomedical waste, laboratory
chemical waste, gas cylinders,
hazardous debris, glycol, PCBs,
petroleum-based compounds, solvents/
paints/adhesives, radioactive material,
and fuel contaminated soils and
materials, with an aggregate of
approximately 22,140 lbs. net weight,
was, consistent with waste management
best practices, segregated, packaged, and
stored in a secured location for removal
from the station.

AGENCY:
BILLING CODE 7555–01–P
ACTION:
The waste
was to be removed in February 2022, at
the end of the 2021–2022 season. In
January 2022, the annual cargo vessel
sustained electrical damage on its
voyage to Antarctica, and had to return
to port in California for repairs. Due to
this delay, the ship arrived to McMurdo
Station later than anticipated, and the
ice pier at McMurdo cracked during the
off-load and on-load of material. This
crack posed a serious safety concern for
human life and the vessel, making
further waste removal operations
impossible. The removal of the
remaining hazardous waste is a priority
for removal during the January–
February 2023 time period.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) staff has received an
application from Sensor Concepts and
Applications, Incorporated (SCA or the
licensee) to renew Special Nuclear
Materials (SNM) License No. SNM–
2017. The renewed license would
authorize the applicant to continue to
use SNM in greater than critical mass
quantities for research and development
of radiation detection instrumentation at
its location in Glen Arm, Maryland as
well as other locations selected by the
United States Department of Defense.
This license renewal, if approved,
would authorize SCA to continue
licensed activities for 10 years beyond
its current license.
DATES: A request for a hearing or
petition for leave to intervene must be
filed by May 6, 2022.
