ACTION: Notice to request public comments. AGENCY: jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES 77759 SUMMARY: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is considering updating the Occupational Exposure Sampling Strategies Manual(OESSM), NIOSH Document Number: DHHS (NIOSH) Publication Number 77–173; and requests user feedback to maximize the relevancy of any revisions to the document. Specifically, NIOSH seeks input in the following areas: 1. The relevance, currency, and appropriateness of the OESSM; identification of the most useful components of the OESSM; information on the disciplines and jobs of current users; and other useful resources related to sampling strategies. 2. The need for an updated/revised OESSM; the types of information needed but not currently included in the OESSM; the revisions needed to make the OESSM more useful; the gaps, VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:43 Dec 26, 2006 Jkt 211001 unmet needs for guidance, or needs for new information; and the topics that do not need to be updated or addressed in the OESSM to avoid duplicating already existing materials. 3. Information needs relative to exposure assessment and sampling strategies (e.g., qualitative vs. quantitative, control banding approaches, etc.). 4. The Action Level approach (decision statistics, utility of the decision logic chart in the current OESSM [p. 11]). 5. Statistical issues, including the need for new sampling strategy statistics, the existing sampling strategy applications, and the need for specific sampling strategies that are currently not addressed. 6. The most appropriate (needed or preferred) dissemination medium for an updated/revised OESSM (hard copy, CD, Web-based, etc.), including the preferred organizational format (e.g., one large document, one overview document with several monographs on specific topics, etc). NIOSH expects to hold a public meeting (date, time, and location to be announced in the Federal Register on a later date) for additional input on future occupational exposure sampling strategies guidance.
