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
The regulatory authority for the
National Institute for 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

forecast. The best estimate for the
annual number of respondents is the
number from the most recent year for
which data exists, 73 in 2016, an
increase from 63 in 2014. Those 73
applicants submitted 542 applications
in 2016, providing the current best
estimate. A $200 fee is required for each
application. Respondents requesting
respirator approval or certain extensions
of approval are required to submit
additional fees for necessary testing and
evaluation as specified in 42 CFR parts
84.20–22, 84.66, 84.258 and 84.1102. In
2016, $2,662,329.00 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.
Also, 42 CFR part 84 approvals offer
corroboration that approved respirators
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. Audits may occur
periodically, typically every second
year, or because of a reported issue.
NIOSH scheduled Sixty-three site audits
from 92 respirator approval holders for
the 2016 fiscal year.
There is an average fee of $8,833 for
each audit to align with fee collection
provisions of the Independent Offices
Appropriations Act of 1952 (31 U.S.C.
9701), and OMB Circular A–25 Revised.

they meet the criteria given in the above
regulation. 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.
In accordance with 42 CFR part 84,
NIOSH performs the following
activities: (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. To
establish the scope and intent of
request, NIOSH collects information
from those who request services under
42 CFR part 84.
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 9.
Respirator manufacturers are the
respondents (estimated to average 73
each year over the years 2017–2020).
Upon submission of the SAF, NIOSH
evaluates their applications for
approval. Respirator manufacturers
submit applications according to their
business needs, which depends upon
market conditions, technical advances,
and other factors that are not easy to

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled National
Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval. CDC
previously published a ‘‘Proposed Data
Collection Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations’’
notice on April 26, 2017 to obtain
comments from the public and affected
agencies. CDC received three comments
related to the previous notice. This
notice serves to allow an additional 30
days for public and affected agency
comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the

Health (DASH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Currently, the questionnaires are the
only standardized reporting process for
HIV/STD prevention activities among
LEAs, SEAs, and NGOs funded by
DASH. The nine questionnaires will
seek data that: (1) Provides standardized
information about how HIV/STD
prevention funds are used by funded
agencies; (2) provides descriptive and
process information about program
activities; and (3) provides greater
accountability for use of public funds.
Funded agencies will complete the
questionnaires on a Web site managed
by DASH and its contractor, Karna.
Respondents will complete the
questionnaires on a semi-annual basis.
The questionnaires pertain to the
approaches that funded agencies are
using to meet their goals. Approaches
include helping districts and schools
deliver exemplary sexual health
education (ESHE) emphasizing HIV and
other STD prevention; increasing
adolescent access to key sexual health
services (SHS); and establishing safe
and supportive environments (SSE) for
students and staff.
Each SEA complete activities for all
approaches. Therefore, each SEA will
complete a questionnaire for each
approach (ESHE, SHS, and SSE).
Likewise, each LEA will be completing
activities for all approaches. Therefore,
each LEA will complete a questionnaire
for each approach (ESHE, SHS, and
SSE). Each NGO will respond to the
questionnaire for the approach they are
implementing in support of SEAs or
LEAs. Two NGOs will respond to the
ESHE questionnaire, two NGOs will
respond to the SHS questionnaire, and
two NGOs will respond to the SSE
questionnaire.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The estimated
annualized time burden for all funded
agencies is 820 hours.
