A. Purpose

C. Public Comments

The General Services Administration
Acquisition Regulation (GSAR)
552.236–79, Construction-Contractor-asConstructor, requires the contractor to
submit proposals to establish the final
estimated cost of the work, to convert
the contract to a firm-fixed-price, and to
determine the final settlement for
construction-manager-as-constructor
(CMc) projects.
The CMc refers to a project
management and contracting technique
that is one of three predominant
methods used for acquiring construction
services by GSA. The other two methods
are design-bid-build and design-build.
The information is used by
contracting officers to evaluate
proposals and negotiate contract
modifications during contract
administration. GSA would be unable to
assess readily and equitably offers fairly
and competitively if they were not
allowed to collect data required in the
information collection.

A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register at 87 FR 55007 on
September 8, 2022. No comments were
received.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals:
Requesters may obtain a copy of the
information collection documents from
the GSA Regulatory Secretariat Division,
by calling 202–501–4755 or emailing
[email protected]. Please cite OMB
Control No. 3090–0320, Construction
Manager as Constructor, in all
correspondence.

B. Annual Reporting Burden
Total public reporting burden for this
collection of information is estimated to
average 400 total hours ($33,004)
annually, including the time for
reviewing instructions, searching
existing data sources, gathering, and
maintaining the data needed, and
completing and reviewing the collection
of information. The estimated burden
hours to the public for the below clauses
are as follows:
GSAR 552.236–79, ConstructionContractor-as-Constructor, requires the
contractor to submit proposals to
establish the final estimated cost of the
work, to convert the contract to a firmfixed-price, and to determine the final
settlement.
Respondents: 5.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Annual Responses: 10.
Hours per Response: 40.
Total Response Burden Hours: 400.
Cost per Hour: $82.51.
Estimated Cost Burden to the Public:
$33,004.
GSAR 552.236–80, Accounting
Records, contains a recordkeeping
requirement that is subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501, et seq.). The clause requires the
contractor to keep all relevant
documents for a period of three years
after the final payment. However, the
clause does not add burden to what is
already estimated for the existing FAR
clause at 52.215–2, Audit and Records
by a previous information collection
(see OMB Control Number 9000–0034).

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. 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;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the

Proposed Project
Respiratory Protective Devices—42
CFR part 84 (OMB Control No. 0920–
0109, Exp. 03/31/2024)—Revision—
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), 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
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.
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 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
Form for the Approval of Respirators
(SAF), currently Version 9. Respirator
manufacturers are the respondents
(estimated to average 140 each year over
the years 2020–2023) and upon
completion of the SAF their requests for
approval are evaluated. A total of 375
applications were submitted in CY2019.
To date, 300 applications have been
submitted in CY2020. The increased
submission rate is due to the
publication of a new respirator class,
PAPR100, as well as increased
certification requests due to COVID–19.
The applications are submitted, at will,
and taking into account both historical
conditions as well as the current
situation, our prediction of the number
of respondents each year between
CY2020 and CY2022 is 140. 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.
Applicants are required to provide
test data that shows that the
manufacturer is able to ensure 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.
The secondary instruments for data
collection for respirator approval
functions are instruments used to
collect data from human subjects who
are serving as test fixture surrogates to
perform tests while wearing the
respirator being evaluated. Such
instruments are completed by the
human subject or test operator and are
limited to specific information required
for the test.
Approvals under 42 CFR part 84 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

42 CFR part 84.
Manufacturers with current approvals
are subject to site audits by the Institute
or its agents. Audits may occur
