Bureau of Labor Statistics

Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Department of Labor.
ACTION: Notice of information collection;
request for comment.
AGENCY:

The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed reinstatement,
with change of the Survey of Respirator
Use and Practices.’’ A copy of the

DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice on or
before May 10, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Nora
Kincaid, BLS Clearance Officer,
Division of Management Systems,
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Room 4080,
2 Massachusetts Avenue NE,
Washington, DC 20212. Written
comments also may be transmitted by

number). (See ADDRESSES section.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Survey of Respirator Use and
Practices (SRUP) is a nationwide survey
that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
will conduct at the request of the
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH). Data
collection for the SRUP will start in
early 2022.
In 2001, NIOSH partnered with BLS
to conduct the first voluntary Survey of
Respirator Use and Practices. This
survey revealed important insights into
respiratory use and hazards in the U.S.
used by researchers, policy advisors,
and regulators to further the mission of
protecting U.S. workers from airborne
hazards. Since then, there have been
major shifts in the U.S. economy
representing the potential for a drastic
change in how respirators are used and
the workers who may be at risk for
occupational respiratory disease across
a vast array of industrial settings. This
calls for a contemporary understanding
of the types of establishments,
industries, and occupations that use
respirators, why they use them, and
how they manage them.
In a 2007 assessment of the survey
conducted by the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
(NASEM), both NIOSH and BLS were
applauded ‘‘for undertaking this
pioneering data collection in order to
improve understanding of respirator use
in industry.’’ The NASEM assessment
further suggested that the survey
fulfilled a necessary function of
NIOSH’s surveillance efforts. The
committee recommended that NIOSH
continue to address data needs to
evaluate and improve NIOSH’s
respirator approval program by
periodically updating the data to ensure
that a current understanding of

respirator use in the U.S. is maintained
to inform accurate decision making in
this area. This survey thereby follows
the National Academies’ research
committee recommendations to provide
a current understanding of respirator
use in industry.
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for the Survey
of Respirator Use and Practices.
NIOSH has a continuing need for
more in-depth usage data to evaluate the
approval of respiratory protective
devices under 42 CFR 84 CFR to
pinpoint areas of non-conformance and
where education and training efforts are
needed. The data collected from the
survey of Respirator use and Practices
will be used by NIOSH to (1) establish
prevalence of exposure to hazardous
atmospheres, (2) determine the
prevalence of respirator use, (3)
determine the type of respirators being
used and what types of contaminants
they are being used to mitigate, (4)
determine how respirators are used in
the workplace, (5) whether employers
optimally manage use for maximum
worker protection, and (6) determine
opportunities for improving respirator
technologies. The survey also has the
additional, newly added objective of
determining the impact of the COVID–
19 pandemic on respirator use in the
workplace.
Twenty years after the initial survey,
NIOSH again is collaborating with BLS
to administer a voluntary Survey of
Respirator Use and Practices, thereby
following the National Academies’
research committee recommendations to
provide a current understanding of
respirator use in industry. By
establishing the current state of practice,
high yield endeavors designed to reduce
fatalities, injuries and illnesses related
to occupational respiratory hazards in
the U.S. may be targeted for policy,
funding, outreach, and education by
NIOSH’s respirator approval program,
the programs of occupational safety and
health regulatory bodies within the U.S.
(OSHA and MSHA), U.S. employers,
and respiratory protection research and
development.

• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Title of Collection: Survey of
Respirator Use and Practices.
OMB Number: 1220–0171.
Type of Review: Reinstatement, with
change.
Affected Public: Private Sector,
Business or other for-profits, Not-forprofit institutions, Farms.
Total Respondents: 90,000.
Frequency: One time collection.
Total Responses: 90,000.
Average Time per Response: 28.5
minutes.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 42,750
hours.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they also
will become a matter of public record.
Signed at Washington, DC, on March 4,
