SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Recognition and Correction

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) hereby 
gives notice that the recognition of Intertek Testing Services NA, Inc. 
(ITS) as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory is expanded to 
include the additional specific standards listed below. ITS applied for 
an expansion of its recognition as a NRTL for equipment or materials 
(standards), pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.7, which was announced on August 
9, 1996 (61 FR 41659). No comments were received concerning the request 
for expansion. OSHA then granted the expansion of recognition for 
additional standards on November 20, 1996 (61 FR 59111). Through no 
fault of ITS, four standards were excluded, but should have been 
included, in the list of standards recognized. In connection with the 
November 20, 1996 expansion, OSHA had determined that ITS has the 
necessary personnel and equipment, and meets other criteria and 
requirements to perform testing and certification to these four 
standards. OSHA is therefore correcting the recognition granted on 
November 20, 1996, and recognizes ITS for the additional standards 
listed below.
    ITS is recognized for the following standards when applicable to 
equipment or materials that will be used in environments under OSHA's 
jurisdiction. ITS is recognized for testing and certification of 
products when tested for compliance with these test standards, which 
are appropriate within the meaning of 29 CFR 1910.7(c):

UL 8730-1 Electrical Controls for Household and Similar Use; Part 1: 
General
UL 8730-2-4 Automatic Electrical Controls for Household and Similar 
Use; Part 2: Particular Requirements for Thermal Motor Protectors 
for Motor Compressors or Hermetic and Semi-Hermetic Type
UL 8730-2-7 Automatic Electrical Controls for Household and Similar 
Use; Part 2:

[[Page 1127]]

Particular Requirements for Timers and Time Switches
UL 8730-2-8 Automatic Electrical Controls for Household and Similar 
Use; Part 2: Particular Requirements for Electrically Operated Water 
Valves

    The recognition of these additional standards is the only 
recognition granted in this notice. All other conditions and 
requirements of ITS's recognition remain the same.
    Since this correction does not fall within the public notice 
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7, this is the only notice that OSHA will 
publish on this decision. A copy of the ITS application for expansion 
of recognition is available for inspection and duplication at the 
Docket Office, Room N-2634, Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, 
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210, (Docket No. NRTL-1-89).

    Signed at Washington, D.C. this 23rd day of December, 1997.
Charles N. Jeffress,
Assistant Secretary.
