Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35). To request a copy of these

requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance

comments should be received within 30

days of this notice.

Proposed Project

Specifications and Tests for Approval

of Coal Mine Dust Personal Sampler

Units—(0920–0148)—Extension—

National Institute for Occupational

Safety and Health (NIOSH)—Under the

Federal Coal Mine Health & Safety Act

of 1977, PL91–173 (amended the

Federal Coal Mine & Safety Act of 1969),

mine operators must periodically

sample mine atmospheres and submit

the samples to the Mine Safety and

Health Administration (MSHA). The Act

states that sampling equipment used

must be approved by the Secretaries of

the Department of Health and Human

Services (DHHS) and the Department of

Labor (DOL). Concurrent permissibility

approval for electrical intrinsic safety is

provided by MSHA while NIOSH

certifies the performance under Title 30

CFR Part 74. Under this regulation,

certification applicants are required to

submit detailed parts lists, drawings,

and inspection instructions, along with

the personal sampler unit to be tested.

These materials are provided to NIOSH

along with a letter from the applicant

requesting certification. After NIOSH

has tested the unit and certifies the

performance of the equipment, a

certificate of approval is issued to the

manufacturer. Should the equipment be

disapproved, a letter is sent to the

manufacturer outlining the details of the

defects resulting in disapproval, with

suggestions for possible corrections to

the unit. Certificates of approval are

accompanied by photographs of designs

for approval labels to be affixed to each

coal mine dust personal sampler unit.

Use of the approval label is authorized

only on sampler units which conform

strictly with the drawings and

specifications upon which the

certificate of approval is based. Changes

or modifications in the unit after

certification will result in the

manufacturer requesting extensions of

approval through the original

certification process.

The information is used by NIOSH to

fulfill its legislatively-mandated

responsibilities to evaluate and approve

coal mine dust personal sampler units

(CMDPSU) submitted for certification

and approval actions (30 U.S.C. 957 and

961). Before NIOSH grants a

certification, it must have sufficient

evidence of safety and adequate

performance. The parts listing,

engineering drawings, and inspection

instructions submitted are used by

NIOSH to assure that descriptions of

tested units are fully detailed and that

future units produced are equivalent to

those currently certified. Without the

information specified in 30 CFR Part 74,

NIOSH will be unable to adequately

evaluate CMDPSU safety and efficacy,

and to determine if functional changes

were made in the manufacture of

certified products. The total annual

burden hours are 44.
