Download as PDF 14019 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2011 / Notices identify women’s general awareness and knowledge about folic acid and its role in NTD prevention, perception of their risk for having an affected pregnancy, awareness and knowledge about fortification of cereal grain products, whether fortification of corn masa flour products would change their current reported use of these products, and overall reaction to potential folic acid fortification of these products. For the second data collection activity phase, focus group participants will be women 18–44 years of age who are not pregnant at the time of the focus groups, who do not have a child with a birth defect such as spina bifida or anencephaly. The contractor will conduct sixteen (16) focus groups with five (5) participants in each focus group. It is estimated that 320 respondents will have to be screened in order to recruit 80 focus group participants. Each screening will take approximately 6 minutes. The estimated response burden for the screening process is 32 hours. Participants will be segmented into groups based on whether they selfidentify as either vitamin users (take a vitamin containing folic acid 4–7 days per week) or non-users (take a vitamin containing folic acid less than 4 days per week). The focus group session shall be structured to identify women’s awareness and knowledge about folic acid, and how they would like to see folic acid information portrayed in a written format. Focus group participants shall be shown written educational materials that are currently being used and asked questions designed to address whether the materials are effective in getting the folic acid message across to the audience, whether the visual images portrayed in the materials resonate with the audience, and how the materials could be improved. Also, differences based on pregnancy contemplation status shall be explored through segmentation of the focus groups. Sixteen focus groups will be conducted in both phase one and phase two, with a total of 80 participants in each phase. The focus groups will have five participants each. Each respondent will participate in a 1.5-hour focus group, for a total burden of 120 hours. Data collection materials will be available in both English and Spanish. This request is being submitted to obtain OMB clearance for one (1) year. There are no costs to respondents except for their time to participate.

Background and Brief Description This data collection was formerly named Respiratory Protective Devices 30 CFR part 11 but in 1995, the 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 E:\FR\FM\15MRN1.SGM 15MRN1 14020 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2011 / Notices removal workers, fabric mill workers, and fire fighters. 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

    Respiratory Protective Devices--42 CFR part 84--Regulation--(0920- 
0109)--Extension--National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health 
(NIOSH), of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    This data collection was formerly named Respiratory Protective 
Devices 30 CFR part 11 but in 1995, the 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. Regulations of 
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC) also require the use of NIOSH-approved 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 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.
