respirator standard was moved to 42
CFR part 84. 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
benefiting industrial workers, the 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. Recent developments in this
program have provided approvals for
self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA), Air-Purifying respirators,
Powered Air-Purifying (PAPR) and AirPurifying Escape respirators for use by
fire fighters and other first responders to
potential terrorist attacks. 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.
NIOSH, in accordance with 42 CFR 84:
(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.
Information is collected from those who
apply for certification in order to
properly establish the scope and intent
of request. Contact information, type of
respirator, quality assurance plans and
procedures that are used in producing
the respirator, and draft labels, as
specified in the regulation, are the types
of data collected. Respirator
manufacturers (approximately 43), are
the respondents and upon completion of

Board on Radiation and Worker Health
(ABRWH or Advisory Board)
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of
the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(Pub. L. 92–463), the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention announces the
following committee meeting:
Name: Advisory Board on Radiation and
Worker Health, National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health.
Audio Conference Call Time and Date: 11
a.m.–4 p.m., EST, Tuesday, September 4,
2007.
Place: Audio Conference Call via FTS
Conferencing. The USA toll free dial in
number is 1–866–643–6504 with a pass code
of 9448550.
Status: Open to the public, but without a
public comment period.
Background: The Advisory Board was
established under the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation Program
Act of 2000 to advise the President on a
variety of policy and technical functions
required to implement and effectively
manage the new compensation program. Key
functions of the Advisory Board include
providing advice on the development of
probability of causation guidelines which
have been promulgated by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) as a final
rule, advice on methods of dose
reconstruction which have also been
promulgated by HHS as a final rule, advice
on the scientific validity and quality of dose
estimation and reconstruction efforts being
performed for purposes of the compensation

program, and advice on petitions to add
classes of workers to the Special Exposure
Cohort (SEC).
In December 2000, the President delegated
responsibility for funding, staffing, and
operating the Advisory Board to HHS, which
subsequently delegated this authority to the
CDC. NIOSH implements this responsibility
for CDC. The charter was issued on August
3, 2001, renewed at appropriate intervals,
most recently, August 3, 2007, and will
expire on August 3, 2009.
Purpose: This Advisory Board is charged
with (a) providing advice to the Secretary,
HHS, on the development of guidelines
under Executive Order 13179; (b) providing
advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the
scientific validity and quality of dose
reconstruction efforts performed for this
program; and (c) upon request by the
Secretary, HHS, advising the Secretary on
whether there is a class of employees at any
Department of Energy facility who were
exposed to radiation but for whom it is not
feasible to estimate their radiation dose, and
on whether there is reasonable likelihood
that such radiation doses may have
endangered the health of members of this
class.
Matters To Be Discussed: The agenda for
the conference call includes: Report of Board
Member Votes Recorded Since the Last Board
Meeting; Update on Rocky Flats Follow-Up
Actions; Update on SC&A Review of TBD
6000 and General Steel Industries Appendix;
Report on SC&A Contract Talks for FY08;
Discussions of Initial Steps for a Board
Contractor for FY09 and Beyond; Report on
Privacy Act ‘‘Clearance’’ Procedures; Update
on Letters to DOE and DOL on Chapman
Valve; Work Group Updates; Status of and
Plans for Future Board Activities; and Board
Working Time.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate.
Recommended changes to the agenda from
the Office of General Counsel resulted in the
Federal Register notice being published less
that fifteen days before the date of the
meeting.
Because there is not a public comment
period, written comments may be submitted.
Any written comments received will be
included in the official record of the meeting
