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 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

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

Respiratory Protective Devices—42 

CFR part 84—Regulation—(0920– 

0109)—Revision—National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), of the 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. 

In accordance with 42 CFR part 84, 

NIOSH performs the following 

activities: (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. To 

establish the scope and intent of 

request, NIOSH collects information 

from those who request services under 

42 CFR part 84. 

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 

for the Approval of Respirators (SAF), 

currently Version 9. 

Respirator manufacturers are the 

respondents (estimated to average 73 

each year over the years 2017–2020). 

Upon submission of the SAF, NIOSH 

evaluates their applications for 

approval. Respirator manufacturers 

submit applications according to their 

business needs, which depends upon 

market conditions, technical advances, 

and other factors that are not easy to 

forecast. The best estimate for the 

annual number of respondents is the 

number from the most recent year for 

which data exists, 73 in 2016, an 

increase from 63 in 2014. Those 73 

applicants submitted 542 applications 

in 2016, providing the current best 

estimate. 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. In 

2016, $2,662,329.00 was accepted. 

Applicants are required to provide 

test data that shows that the 

manufacturer is capable of ensuring 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. 

Also, 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. Audits may occur 

periodically, typically every second 

year, or because of a reported issue. 

NIOSH scheduled Sixty-three site audits 

from 92 respirator approval holders for 

the 2016 fiscal year. 

There is an average fee of $8,833 for 

each audit to align with fee collection 

provisions of the Independent Offices 

Appropriations Act of 1952 (31 U.S.C. 

9701), and OMB Circular A–25 Revised.

Proposed Project 

Promoting Adolescent Health through 

School-Based HIV/STD Prevention 

(OMB Control Number 0920–1049, 

Expiration Date 2/28/2018)— 

Extension—National Center for HIV/ 

AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 

Prevention, Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The proposed project is a semi-annual 

Web-based questionnaire to assess 

programmatic activities among funded 

agencies which include local education 

agencies (LEA), state education agencies 

(SEA), and non-governmental 

organizations (NGO) funded by the 

Division of Adolescent and School 

Health (DASH), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention. 

Currently, the questionnaires are the 

only standardized reporting process for 

HIV/STD prevention activities among 

LEAs, SEAs, and NGOs funded by 

DASH. The nine questionnaires will 

seek data that: (1) Provides standardized 

information about how HIV/STD 

prevention funds are used by funded 

agencies; (2) provides descriptive and 

process information about program 

activities; and (3) provides greater 

accountability for use of public funds. 

Funded agencies will complete the 

questionnaires on a Web site managed 

by DASH and its contractor, Karna. 

Respondents will complete the 

questionnaires on a semi-annual basis. 

The questionnaires pertain to the 

approaches that funded agencies are 

using to meet their goals. Approaches 

include helping districts and schools 

deliver exemplary sexual health 

education (ESHE) emphasizing HIV and 

other STD prevention; increasing 

adolescent access to key sexual health 

services (SHS); and establishing safe 

and supportive environments (SSE) for 

students and staff. 

Each SEA complete activities for all 

approaches. Therefore, each SEA will 

complete a questionnaire for each 

approach (ESHE, SHS, and SSE). 

Likewise, each LEA will be completing 

activities for all approaches. Therefore, 

each LEA will complete a questionnaire 

for each approach (ESHE, SHS, and 

SSE). Each NGO will respond to the 

questionnaire for the approach they are 

implementing in support of SEAs or 

LEAs. Two NGOs will respond to the 

ESHE questionnaire, two NGOs will 

respond to the SHS questionnaire, and 

two NGOs will respond to the SSE 

questionnaire. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The estimated 

annualized time burden for all funded 

agencies is 820 hours.
