SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Application

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) hereby 
gives notice that Detroit Testing Laboratory, Inc. (DTL), has 
voluntarily decided not to renew its recognition as a Nationally 
Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). OSHA's current scope of 
recognition for DTL may be found in the following informational Web 
page: http://www.osha-slc.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/dtl.html.
    The only Federal Register notices published by OSHA for DTL's 
recognition covered its recognition as an NRTL, which became effective 
on April 27, 1998 (63 FR 20661).
    The current address of the DTL facility (site) already recognized 
by OSHA is: Detroit Testing Laboratory, Inc., 7111 E. Eleven Mile, 
Warren, Michigan 48092.

General Background on the Expiration of Recognition

    Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7 stipulates that a recognized NRTL may 
renew its recognition by filing a renewal request not less than nine 
months, nor more than one year, before the expiration date of its 
current recognition.
    On June 18, 2002, OSHA sent DTL a reminder indicating that OSHA's 
recognition of Detroit Testing Lab, Inc. (DTL), as a Nationally 
Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) would expire on April 28, 2003. 
DTL did not submit a renewal request within the stipulated time frame 
of less than nine months

[[Page 19856]]

before the expiration date of its current recognition. On July 29, 
2002, DTL indicated it will not be renewing its recognition as an NRTL. 
DTL's recognition will expire on April 28, 2003.
    In accordance with OSHA policy pertaining to expiration of 
recognition, the Agency only publishes one Federal Register notice 
without a comment period to note the expiration of DTL's recognition as 
an NRTL.

    Signed in Washington, DC this 11th day of April, 2003.
John L. Henshaw,
Assistant Secretary.
