Proposed Project
Respiratory Protective Devices—42
CFR part 84—Regulation—(0920–
0109)—Revision—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This data collection was formerly
named Respiratory Protective Devices
30 CFR part 11 but in 1995, the
respirator standard was moved to 42
CFR Part 84. The regulatory authority
for the National Institute for

PO 00000

Frm 00042

Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) certification program for
respiratory protective devices is found
in the Mine Safety and Health
Amendments Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C.
577a, 651 et seq., and 657(g)) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (30 U.S.C. 3, 5, 7, 811, 842(h),
844). These regulations have, as their
basis, the performance tests and criteria
for approval of respirators used by
millions of American construction
workers, miners, painters, asbestos
removal workers, fabric mill workers,
and fire fighters.
Regulations of the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
also require the use of NIOSH-approved
respirators. These regulations also
establish methods for respirator
manufacturers to submit respirators for
testing under the regulation and have
them certified as NIOSH-approved if
they meet the criteria given in the above
regulation.
NIOSH, in accordance with 42 CFR
Part 84: (1) Issues certificates of
approval for respirators which have met
specified construction, performance,
and protection requirements; (2)
establishes procedures and
requirements to be met in filing
applications for approval; (3) specifies
minimum requirements and methods to
be employed by NIOSH and by
applicants in conducting inspections,
examinations, and tests to determine
effectiveness of respirators; (4)
establishes a schedule of fees to be
charged applicants for testing and
certification, and (5) establishes
approval labeling requirements.
Information is collected from those who
request services under 42 CFR Part 84
in order to properly establish the scope
and intent of request.
Information collected from requests
for respirator approval functions
includes contact information and
information about factors likely to affect
respirator performance and use. Such
information includes, but is not
necessarily limited to, respirator design,
manufacturing methods and materials,
quality assurance plans and procedures,
and user instruction and draft labels, as
specified in the regulation.
The main instrument for data
collection for respirator approval
functions is the Standard Application
for the Approval of Respirators (SAF),
currently Version 7. A replacement
instrument which will collect the same
information is in development.
Respirator manufacturers are the
respondents (estimated to average 63
each year over the years 2014–2016) and
upon completion of the SAF their

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 66 / Monday, April 7, 2014 / Notices
requests for approval are evaluated. The
applications are submitted at will and
the most reasonable prediction of
respondents is the number from the
most recent year, 63 in 2013. The
decrease is likely due to random
fluctuations and changes in business
conditions. No survey was conducted to
more thoroughly analyze the reasons for
the change in number of respondents.
Although there is no cost to respondents
to submit other than their time to
participate, respondents requesting
respirator approval are required to
submit fees for necessary testing as
specified in 42 CFR Parts 84.20–22,

are produced to certain quality
standards. Although 42 CFR Part 84
Subpart E prescribes certain quality
standards, it is not expected that
requiring approved quality standards
will impose an additional cost burden
over similarly effective quality
standards that are not approved under
42 CFR Part 84.
Manufacturers with current approvals
are subject to site audits by the Institute
or its agents. There is no fee associated
with audits. Audits may occur
periodically or as a result of a reported
issue. Sixty site audits were scheduled
for the 2013 calendar year.

84.66, 84.258 and 84.1102. In calendar
year 2013 $449,610.135 was accepted.
Applicants are required to provide
test data that shows that the
manufacturer is capable of ensuring that
the respirator is capable of meeting the
specified requirements in 42 CFR Part
84. The requirement for submitted test
data is likely to be satisfied by standard
testing performed by the manufacturer,
and is not required to follow the
relevant NIOSH Standard Test
Procedures. As additional testing is not
required, providing proof that an
adequate test has been performed is
limited to providing existing paperwork.
42 CFR Part 84 approvals offer
corroboration that approved respirators

Proposed Project
Customer Surveys Generic Clearance
for the National Center for Health
Statistics (0920–0729, Expiration
04/30/2014)—Revision—National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on ‘‘the extent and nature of
illness and disability of the population
of the United States.’’ This is a revision
request for a generic approval from
OMB to conduct customer surveys over
the next three years.
As part of a comprehensive program,
the National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS) plans to continue to assess its
customers’ satisfaction with the content,
quality and relevance of the information
it produces. NCHS will conduct
voluntary customer surveys to assess
strengths in agency products and
services and to evaluate how well it
addresses the emerging needs of its data
users. Results of these surveys will be
used in future planning initiatives.
The data will be collected using a
combination of methodologies
appropriate to each survey. These may

include: Evaluation forms, mail surveys,
focus groups, automated and electronic
technology (e.g., email, Web-based
surveys), and telephone surveys.
Systematic surveys of several groups
will be folded into the program. Among
these are Federal customers and policy
makers, state and local officials who
rely on NCHS data, the broader
educational, research, and public health
community, and other data users.
Respondents may include data users
who register for and/or attend NCHS
sponsored conferences; persons who
access the NCHS Web site and the
detailed data available through it;
consultants; and others. Respondent
data items may include (in broad
categories) information regarding
respondent’s gender, age, occupation,
affiliation, location, etc., to be used to
characterize responses only. Other
questions will attempt to obtain
information that will characterize the
respondents’ familiarity with and use of
NCHS data, their assessment of data
content and usefulness, general
satisfaction with available services and
products, and suggestions for
improvement of surveys, services and
products.
The resulting information will be for
NCHS internal use. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time to
participate in the survey. The total
