Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,
DC or by fax to (202) 395–6974. Written
comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
Proposed Project
Aerosol Generation by Cough—
NEW—The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is authorized to conduct
research to advance the health and
safety of workers under Section 20(a)(1)
of the 1970 Occupational Safety and
Health Act.
Many respiratory diseases are spread
when healthy people come into contact
with infectious fluids from sick
individuals. The most common mode of
transmission is direct contact with
infected persons, or contact with items
or people they have touched. In
addition, however, some respiratory
illnesses can also spread via infectious
aerosols that are generated by coughing
and sneezing. Riley et al. established
that tuberculosis is spread by inhalation
of respirable particles generated by
infected individuals. British studies of
classrooms and offices found aerosols
containing viable salivary streptococci
and other oral bacteria that were
thought to be created during speaking,
coughing, and sneezing. Severe acute
respiratory syndrome (SARS) and avian
influenza are known to spread through
infectious aerosols, and this may
include cough-generated aerosols as
well.
The airborne transmission of disease
is of great concern to the public health
community because of the increasing
prevalence of drug-resistant strains of
tuberculosis, the epidemic potential of
newly-emerging diseases like avian
influenza, and the threat of bioterrorism
using agents such as bubonic plague.
The purpose of this project is to better
understand some of the factors involved
in the production of aerosols of airway
fluids by coughing. The project has two
specific aims: Measure the quantity and
size distribution of aerosol produced
during human coughs and determine
the effectiveness of surgical masks and
N95 respirators at filtering coughgenerated aerosols.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 71.
