additional three-year period. Responses
will be submitted electronically using a
web-based survey instrument. Minor
changes to the instrument are proposed
to address compliance with
recommendations made in the updated
PHS clinical practice guideline issued
in May of 2008, such as coverage for
combination therapies, smokeless
tobacco use, and states’ familiarity with
and use of the 2000 PHS guideline. The
minor changes are not expected to affect
the overall burden estimate. To
minimize burden, each respondent will
only be asked to record changes that
occurred since the time of the previous
submission. As in previous years, each
respondent will also attach a copy of the
state’s Medicaid coverage plan to their
completed survey, in order to assist the
research team with the interpretation of
responses.
The information to be collected will
allow CDC to continue monitoring
compliance with the most recent PHS
recommendations and the progress of
State Medicaid Programs toward the
2010 National Health Objectives and
Healthy People 2010 goals.
There are no costs to respondents
except the time to complete the survey.
The total estimated burden hours are 26.

The National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) of the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) Announces an
Evaluation of Downdraft Vented Nail
Salon Tables (VNTs)
Authority: 29 U.S.C. Sections 651 et seq.
AGENCY: National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC),

Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice.
The Division of Applied
Research and Technology (DART),
NIOSH, is conducting an evaluation of
downdraft vented salon nail tables
(VNTs). This notice invites developers,
manufacturers, and vendors of VNTs to
submit new, unused, downdraft VNTs
for evaluation of operational
characteristics and effectiveness in
reducing levels of a source point tracer
gas at standard distances from the vent.
A 6-month supply of manufacturer
recommended filters is to be submitted
to NIOSH at the address below, together
with the VNT.
Evaluation parameters for the VNTs
will include, but are not limited to:

Airflow and capture characteristics,
noise level, ergonomic features, and
filter life. Manufacturers, vendors, and
developers who wish to submit VNTs
with filters for evaluation are invited to
respond to this announcement. A report
on each VNT submitted for evaluation,
including feedback on the evaluation
parameters and staff recommendations,
will be sent to the submitter. Results of
the evaluation will potentially be used
to develop educational materials for nail
technicians and may also be
disseminated through reports,
publications, or presentations. NIOSH
does not intend to identify
manufacturers in its publications but
testing information referencing
particular manufacturers would be
releasable if requested under the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
DATES: Written letter of interest must be
received within 90 calendar days of
publication in the Federal Register. The
deadline for receipt of VNT and filter
submissions is June 30, 2009.
Evaluations will begin subject to the
dates VNT and filter submissions are
received. The VNTs will be retained for
up to 10 months while being evaluated,
after which they will be returned.
ADDRESSES: Manufacturers, vendors,
and developers who wish to submit
VNTs with filters for evaluation are
invited to respond to this
announcement by sending a written
letter of interest to NIOSH/DART,

which VNT submissions will be
evaluated based on compliance with the
specifications described above. NIOSH
