do not recall a diagnosis of arthritis are

free of the condition. It is essential to

know the validity of the BRFSS case

definition because this survey is

currently being used to estimate the

burden of arthritis on the population.

To assess whether the BRFSS case

definition of arthritis is valid, patients

aged 45 and older who are enrolled in

the Fallon Clinic, (a health maintenance

organization in central and eastern

Massachusetts), and have an upcoming

annual physical examination with a

primary care physician will be

identified through the computerized

appointment system. A letter will be

sent to 2,100 patients aged 45 to 64 and

2,900 patients aged 65 and older two

weeks prior to their scheduled visit

informing them of this study and that a

research assistant will be calling to

conduct a 10 minute interview in the

next few days. The telephone survey

will identify patients in each age group

(aged 45 to 64 and aged 65 and older),

who fall into the four following

categories: (1) Chronic joint symptoms

without a diagnosis of arthritis from a

health care provider; (2) a diagnosis of

arthritis by a health care provider

without chronic joint symptoms; (3)

both chronic joint symptoms and a

diagnosis of arthritis by a health care

provider; and (4) no chronic joint

symptoms and no diagnosis of arthritis

by a health care provider. A

standardized history and physical

examination will be performed on at

least 50 persons in the two age groups

who fall in the 4 categories described

above. Those patients who complete the

examination will receive a $20.00 gift

certificate. Results of this clinical

evaluation will be compared to the

telephone survey responses and also

data derived from ambulatory

encounters to assess the validity of the

arthritis case definition. The total

burden for this data collection is 750

hours.

Proposed Project: Tests and

Requirements for Certification and

Approval of Respiratory Protective

Devices (42 CFR 84 Regulation) OMB

No. 0920–0109—Extension—National

Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC). 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. In addition to

benefitting industrial workers, the

improved testing requirements also

benefit health care workers

implementing the current CDC

Guidelines for Preventing the

Transmission of Tuberculosis.

Regulations of the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) and the

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

also require the use of NIOSH-approved

respirators. NIOSH, in accordance with

implementing regulations 42 CFR 84: (1)

Issues certificates of approval for

respirators which have met improved

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. The

total annual burden for this data

collection is 97,783 hours.

Proposed Project: National Survey of

STD Services Provided to U.S. College

Students—New—The National Center

for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention

(NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC) plans to conduct

a survey of a sample of U.S. colleges

asking about health services available to

students with focus on sexually

transmitted disease (STD) testing and

management. The sample shall include

a broad range of colleges including 2

and 4 year, public and private, and rural

and urban colleges to determine under

what conditions, for which STDs, and

how colleges educate about STDs,

conduct testing and provide partner

management.

STDs have a large economic and

health impact throughout the United

States. Most college students are within

the age range with the highest rates for

STDs (15–24 year olds). Chlamydia

trachomatis is the most frequently

reported infectious disease in the

United States with prevalence rates of

4% to 18% in 16–24 year old women.

Infections with Chlamydia trachomatis

can result in pelvic inflammatory

disease and infertility. Many STDs

increase the risk of HIV transmission

and acquisition. Genital infections with

herpes simplex virus, human

papillomavirus, and Trichomonas

vaginalis have been reported at

increasing rates over the last 10 years.

This national survey will provide data

that will broaden the scientific

knowledge related to STD services and

management available to students at

U.S. colleges. The survey is intended to

(a) describe health insurance policies of

colleges; (b) describe preventive services

such as health education and condom

availability at colleges; (c) identify

characteristics of student health centers

including staffing, type of care, and

number of students seen; (d) identify

possible obstacles to accessing STD

services; (e) describe which STDs are

being tested for and what testing criteria

are applied; and (f) describe current

partner services including partner

notification practices and use of partnerdelivered therapy. The total response

burden is estimated at 455 hours.
