DOL/OSHA RIN: 1218-AB57 Publication ID: Fall 1998 
Title: Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories Programs: Fees 
Abstract: A number of OSHA standards require that certain products and equipment used in the workplace be tested and certified by a laboratory that has been recognized and accredited by OSHA. Through the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory Program, OSHA has, to date, recognized 15 laboratories operating 37 sites in the U.S., Canada, and the Far East as NRTLs. OSHA is proposing to revise 29 CFR 1910.7 to allow OSHA to charge fees to NRTLs for services that are provided to the NRTLs. The fees will be computed on the basis of the cost of the services to the Government. In determining the amount of such fees, OSHA will follow the guidelines established by the Office of Management and Budget in Circular Number A-25.
