Regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) also require the use of NIOSHapproved 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. NIOSH, in accordance with 42 CFR Part 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 request services under 42 CFR part 84 in order to properly establish the scope and intent of request. 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 SAF, Standard Application for the Approval of Respirators, currently Version 7. A replacement instrument, SAF V.8, which collects the same information is available for applicants without the requisite software environment for V.7. Respirator manufacturers are the respondents (estimated to average 75 each year over the years 2011–2013) and upon completion of the SAF their requests for approval are evaluated. Although there is no cost to respondents to submit an application other than their time to participate, respondents requesting respirator approval are required to submit fees for necessary testing as specified in 42 CFR 84.20–22, 84.66, 84.258 and 84.1102. In calendar No. of responses per respondent Number of respondents Form year 2010 $395,564.00 was accepted. Applicants are required to provide test data that shows 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 no extra burden is expected. 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. There is no fee associated with audits. Audits may occur periodically or as a result of a reported issue. An average of 61 site audits were conducted annually over the calendar years 2008–2010, and this rate is expected to continue. Audits take an average of 23.5 burden hours from the respondent. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

Proposed Project Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI) Surveillance—New—National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC). Background and Brief Description Steady increases in the rate and severity of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) indicate a clear need to conduct longitudinal assessments of the impact of CDI in the United States. C. difficile is an anaerobic, spore-forming, gram positive bacillus that produces two pathogenic toxins: A and B. CDI ranges in severity from mild diarrhea to fulminant colitis and death. Transmission of C. difficile occurs primarily in healthcare facilities, where environmental contamination by C. difficile spores and exposure to antimicrobial drugs are common. No longer limited to healthcare environments, community-associated CDI is the focus of increasing attention. Recently, several cases of serious CDI have been reported in what have been considered low-risk populations, including healthy persons living in the community and peri-partum women. The surveillance population will consist of persons residing in the Average burden per response (in hours) Number of responses per respondent 1,800,000 306,000 12,300 1 1 1 2/60 25/60 35/60 catchment area of the participating Emerging Infections Program (EIP) sites. This surveillance poses no more than minimal risk to the study participants as there will be no interventions or modifications to the care study participants receive. EIP surveillance personnel will perform active case finding from laboratory reports of stool specimens testing positive for C. difficile toxin and abstract data on cases using a standardized case report form. For a subset of cases (e.g., communityassociated C. difficile cases) sites will administer a health interview. Remnant stool specimens from cases testing positive for C. difficile toxin will be submitted to reference laboratories for culturing, and isolates will be sent to CDC for confirmation and molecular typing. Outcomes of this surveillance project will include the populationbased incidence of community- and healthcare-associated CDI, and a description of the molecular characteristics of C. difficile strains and the epidemiology of this infection among the population under surveillance. There is no cost to respondents to participate in this program. The total annualized burden for this data collection is 5,840 hours.

Proposed Project

    State and Local Area Integrated Telephone Survey (SLAITS), (OMB No. 
0920-0406, Expiration 04/30/2011)--Revision--National Center for Health 
Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 
242k), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the 
extent and nature of illness and disability of the population of the 
United States. This revision is to notify the public of a request to 
continue the SLAITS mechanism for the 2011 to 2014 survey period. A 
three year clearance is requested.
    SLAITS is an integrated and coordinated survey system that has been 
conducted since 1997, in accordance with the 1995 initiative to 
increase the integration of surveys within DHHS. It is designed to 
collect needed health and well-being data at the national, state, and 
local levels. Using the large sampling frame of the ongoing National 
Immunization Survey (NIS) and Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing 
(CATI), and when necessary independent samples, mail, and Internet 
modes to support data collection activities, SLAITS has quickly 
collected and produced household and person-level data to monitor 
health-related areas. Questionnaire content is drawn from existing 
surveys within DHHS and other Federal agencies, or developed 
specifically to meet project sponsor needs.

    Examples of topical areas include infant, child, adolescent, 
parent, and family health, well-being, and knowledge, attitude, and 
behaviors; children with special health care needs (CSHCN); 
functioning; life course and social determinants of health; 
developmental delays and disabilities; acute and chronic conditions; 
immunizations; access to and use of health care; program participation; 
adoption; and changes in health insurance coverage and experiences.
    Users of SLAITS data include, but are not limited to, Congressional 
offices, Federal agencies, state and local governments, schools of 
public health, colleges and universities, private industry, nonprofit 
foundations, professional associations, clinicians, researchers, 
administrators, advocates, and health planners, to evaluate content 
and/or programs. SLAITS data continue to be heavily used by Federal and 
state Maternal and Child Health Bureau Directors to evaluate programs 
and service needs. Several SLAITS modules provided data for multiple 
Congressionally-mandated reports on healthcare disparities and quality; 
at least one report to Congress on health insurance coverage among 
children; and reports of the National Academy of Sciences. Within DHHS, 
the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation and 
the Administration for Children and Families used SLAITS to collect 
data for the first nationally representative survey of adoptive 
families across adoption types for children with and without special 
health care needs, and to assess their post-adoption service use and 
unmet needs.
    There is no cost to respondents other than their time to
