Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork 

Reduction Act Review 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) has submitted the 

following information collection request 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. CDC previously 

published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection 

Submitted for Public Comment and 

Recommendations’’ notice on March 2, 

2017 to obtain comments from the 

public and affected agencies. CDC did 

not receive comments related to the 

notice. The purpose of this notice is to 

allow an additional 30 days for public 

comments. 

Written comments and suggestions 

from the public and affected agencies 

concerning the proposed collection of 

information are encouraged. The Office 

of Management and Budget is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

(a) 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; 

(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agencies estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(d) 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 submission of 

responses; and 

(e) Assess information collection 

costs. 

To request additional information on 

the proposed project or to obtain a copy 

of the information collection plan and

Proposed Project 

Pulmonary Function Testing Course 

Approval Program (OMB Control 

Number 0920–0138, Expired 4/30/ 

2017)—Reinstatement with Change— 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

NIOSH has the responsibility under 

the Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration’s Cotton Dust Standard, 

29 CFR 1920.1043, for approving 

courses to train technicians to perform 

pulmonary function testing in the cotton 

industry. Successful completion of a 

NIOSH-approved course is mandatory 

under this Standard. In addition, 

regulations at 42 CFR 37.95(a) specify 

that persons administering spirometry 

tests for the national Coal Workers’ 

Health Surveillance Program must 

successfully complete a NIOSHapproved spirometry training course 

and maintain a valid certificate by 

periodically completing NIOSHapproved spirometry refresher training 

courses. Also, 29 CFR 

1910.1053(i)(2)(iv), 29 CFR 

1910.1053(i)(3), 29 CFR 

1926.1153(h)(2)(iv) and 29 CFR 

1926.1153(h)(3) specify that pulmonary 

function tests for initial and periodic 

examinations in general industry and 

construction, performed under the 

respirable crystalline silica standard 

should be administered by a spirometry 

technician with a current certificate 

from a NIOSH-approved spirometry 

course. NIOSH is requesting a three-year 

approval. 

To carry out its responsibility, NIOSH 

maintains a Pulmonary Function 

Training Course Approval Program. The 

program consists of an application 

submitted by potential sponsors 

(universities, hospitals, and private 

consulting firms) who seek NIOSH 

approval to conduct courses, and if 

approved, notification to NIOSH of any 

course or faculty changes during the 

approval period, which is limited to five 

years. The primary focus of this program 

is to verify that each course sponsor 

maintains faculty expertise and 

curriculum content that supports the 

training of technicians to perform 

spirometry testing under current 

professional clinical-practice guidelines. 

NIOSH reviews the application form 

and added materials, including an 

agenda, curriculum vitae, and course 

materials to determine if the applicant 

has developed a program that adheres to 

the criteria required in the Standard.

47738 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 197 / Friday, October 13, 2017 / Notices 

Following approval, course sponsors 

submit any subsequent changes to the 

course via letter or email. In addition, 

NIOSH staff review subsequent changes 

to assure that the changes in faculty or 

course content continue to meet course 

requirements. Course sponsors also 

voluntarily submit an annual report to 

inform NIOSH of their class activity 

level and any faculty changes. 

Sponsors who elect to have their 

approval renewed for an additional fiveyear period submit a renewal 

application and supporting 

documentation for review by NIOSH 

staff to ensure the course curriculum 

meets all current standard requirements. 

Approved courses that elect to offer 

NIOSH-Approved Spirometry Refresher 

Courses must submit a separate 

application and supporting documents 

for review by NIOSH staff. Institutions 

and organizations throughout the 

country voluntarily submit applications 

and materials to become course 

sponsors and carry out training. 

Submissions are required for NIOSH to 

evaluate a course and determine 

whether the course meets the Standard’s 

criteria and whether technicians meet 

the training requirements. 

NIOSH will disseminate a one-time 

customer satisfaction survey to course 

directors and sponsor representatives to 

evaluate our service to courses, the 

effectiveness of the program changes 

implemented since 2005, and the 

usefulness of potential Program 

enhancements. The annualized figures 

slightly overestimate the actual burden, 

due to rounding of the number of 

respondents for even allocation over the 

three-year clearance period. 

The respondent burden hours have 

decreased from 201 burden hours to 147 

burden hours. Over the last three-year 

period, there are fewer sponsors, fewer 

refresher course applications, and all 

collection instruments are now available 

in electronic submittal formats. 

There will be no cost to respondents.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

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 OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below.
