identify women’s general awareness and 

knowledge about folic acid and its role 

in NTD prevention, perception of their 

risk for having an affected pregnancy, 

awareness and knowledge about 

fortification of cereal grain products, 

whether fortification of corn masa flour 

products would change their current 

reported use of these products, and 

overall reaction to potential folic acid 

fortification of these products. 

For the second data collection activity 

phase, focus group participants will be 

women 18–44 years of age who are not 

pregnant at the time of the focus groups, 

who do not have a child with a birth 

defect such as spina bifida or 

anencephaly. The contractor will 

conduct sixteen (16) focus groups with 

five (5) participants in each focus group. 

It is estimated that 320 respondents will 

have to be screened in order to recruit 

80 focus group participants. Each 

screening will take approximately 6 

minutes. The estimated response burden 

for the screening process is 32 hours. 

Participants will be segmented into 

groups based on whether they selfidentify as either vitamin users (take a 

vitamin containing folic acid 4–7 days 

per week) or non-users (take a vitamin 

containing folic acid less than 4 days 

per week). The focus group session shall 

be structured to identify women’s 

awareness and knowledge about folic 

acid, and how they would like to see 

folic acid information portrayed in a 

written format. Focus group participants 

shall be shown written educational 

materials that are currently being used 

and asked questions designed to address 

whether the materials are effective in 

getting the folic acid message across to 

the audience, whether the visual images 

portrayed in the materials resonate with 

the audience, and how the materials 

could be improved. Also, differences 

based on pregnancy contemplation 

status shall be explored through 

segmentation of the focus groups. 

Sixteen focus groups will be 

conducted in both phase one and phase 

two, with a total of 80 participants in 

each phase. The focus groups will have 

five participants each. Each respondent 

will participate in a 1.5-hour focus 

group, for a total burden of 120 hours. 

Data collection materials will be 

available in both English and Spanish. 

This request is being submitted to 

obtain OMB clearance for one (1) year. 

There are no costs to respondents except 

for their time to participate.

Proposed Project 

Respiratory Protective Devices—42 

CFR part 84—Regulation—(0920– 

0109)—Extension—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 

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 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
14020 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2011 / Notices 

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 NIOSHapproved 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 SAF, Standard 

Application for the Approval of 

Respirators, currently Version 7. A 

replacement instrument, SAF V.8, 

which collects the same information is 

available for applicants without the 

requisite software environment for V.7. 

Respirator manufacturers are the 

respondents (estimated to average 75 

each year over the years 2011–2013) and 

upon completion of the SAF their 

requests for approval are evaluated. 

Although there is no cost to respondents 

to submit an application other than their 

time to participate, respondents 

requesting respirator approval are 

required to submit fees for necessary 

testing as specified in 42 CFR 84.20–22, 

84.66, 84.258 and 84.1102. In calendar 

year 2010 $395,564.00 was accepted. 

Applicants are required to provide test 

data that shows 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 no 

extra burden is expected. 

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. 

There is no fee associated with audits. 

Audits may occur periodically or as a 

result of a reported issue. An average of 

61 site audits were conducted annually 

over the calendar years 2008–2010, and 

this rate is expected to continue. Audits 

take an average of 23.5 burden hours 

from the respondent. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.

Proposed Project 

State and Local Area Integrated 

Telephone Survey (SLAITS), (OMB No. 

0920–0406, Expiration 04/30/2011)— 

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 revision is to 

notify the public of a request to 

continue the SLAITS mechanism for the 

2011 to 2014 survey period. A three year 

clearance is requested. 

SLAITS is an integrated and 

coordinated survey system that has been 

conducted since 1997, in accordance 

with the 1995 initiative to increase the 

integration of surveys within DHHS. It 

is designed to collect needed health and 

well-being data at the national, state, 

and local levels. Using the large 

sampling frame of the ongoing National 

Immunization Survey (NIS) and 

Computer Assisted Telephone 

Interviewing (CATI), and when 

necessary independent samples, mail, 

and Internet modes to support data 

collection activities, SLAITS has 

quickly collected and produced 

household and person-level data to 

monitor health-related areas. 

Questionnaire content is drawn from 

existing surveys within DHHS and other 

Federal agencies, or developed 

specifically to meet project sponsor 

needs.
