A number of standards issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) contain requirements for equipment, products, or materials. These standards often specify that employers use only equipment, products, or material tested or approved by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL). This requirement ensures that employers use safe equipment, products, or materials in complying with the standards. Accordingly, OSHA promulgated the regulation 29 CFR 1910.7, "definition and requirements for a nationally recognized testing laboratory" (the Regulation). The Regulation specifies procedures that organizations must follow to apply for, and to maintain, OSHA's recognition to test and certify equipment, products, or material for this purpose.

The Agency increased the number of respondents resulting in a 125 hour adjustment increase in total burden hours, and an increase of 22 responses. The $348,192 adjustment cost increase results from a determination that the costs should be considered a cost to respondents rather than a cost to the Federal government, since respondents reimburse the Government for expenses related to this program.
