Wyle Laboratories, Inc., Request for Change of Recognition

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); Labor.

ACTION: Notice of change in recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).

SUMMARY: This notice announces the Agency's final decision on the Wyle Laboratories' request to remove a restriction in its recognition as a NRTL under 29 CFR 1910.7.

DATES: The change is effective this January 16, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bernard Pasquet, Office of Variance Determination, NRTL Recognition Program, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room N3653, Washington, D.C. 20210, (202) 219-7056.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Final Decision

Wyle Laboratories, Inc. (Wyle), previously made application pursuant to 29 CFR 1910.7, for recognition as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (see 59 FR 783, 1/6/94), and was so recognized (see 59 FR 37509, 7/22/94). As a part of this notice of recognition, a condition was imposed by OSHA that Wyle "will not test certify any equipment or materials for a client which installs its equipment in an electronic enclosure cabinet manufactured or distributed by Wyle." This condition stemmed from the ownership by Wyle of an Electronic Enclosures Division, which manufactured and distributed electronic enclosures. Wyle Laboratories informed OSHA by letter dated July 15, 1997, that it has sold its Electronic Enclosure Division in its entirety to Electronic Enclosures, Inc., a U.S. subsidiary of the Walker Dickson Group of Edinburgh, Scotland. Wyle also requested that OSHA remove the previously described condition, and notice is hereby given that this condition of Wyle's recognition is removed. While the sale of Division moots this restriction, a notice is appropriate to amend the public record of Wyle's recognition.

The address of the laboratory covered by this request is: Wyle Laboratories, 7800 Highway 20 West, Huntsville, Alabama 35807.

All other conditions and requirements of Wyle's recognition remain the same.

Since this request by Wyle 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 Wyle's July 15, 1997 letter to OSHA 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-1-93).

(Authority: 29 CFR 1910.7)

Signed at Washington, D.C. this 7th day of January 1998.

Charles N. Jeffress,
Assistant Secretary.
