This notice announces a 30 day extension of the comment period on the application of the California Division of the United States Testing Company, Inc. for recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) under 29 CFR 1910.7. Interested persons were given until May 22, 1992 in which to comment on the application. OSHA believes a 30 day extension is a sufficient period of time in which to develop comments in view of the fact that the public has already had 60 days in which to submit their comments.

This notice announces the application of Warnock Hersey International, Inc. for recognition as a NRTL under 29 CFR 1910.7, and presents the Agency''s preliminary findings. Warnock Hersey International, Inc. addressed all of the criteria which had to be met for recognition as an NRTL in its initial application and in its further correspondence.

This Notice amends and offers further explanation of the preliminary finding on the application of the Canadian Standards Association for recognition as a nationally recognized testing laboratory which was published on June 3, 1992. Since the U.S. has agreed to accord national treatment to Canadian service organizations, OSHA must accord a Canadian applicant for recognition as a nationally recognized testing laboratory the same treatment it would an American applicant.OSHA believes that there is substantial merit in the opinion of the USTR on this issue.
