Proposed Project
Pulmonary Function Testing Course
Approval Program, 29 CFR 1910.1043
(OMB No. 0920–0138)—Extension—The
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
NIOSH has the responsibility under
the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration’s Cotton Dust Standard,
29 CFR 1920.1043, for approving
courses to train technicians to perform
pulmonary function testing in the cotton
industry. Successful completion of a
NIOSH-approved course is mandatory
under the Standard. To carry out its
responsibility, NIOSH maintains a
Pulmonary Function Testing Course
Approval Program. The program
consists of an application submitted by
potential sponsors (universities,
hospitals, and private consulting firms)
who seek NIOSH approval to conduct
courses, and if approved, notification to
NIOSH of any course or faculty changes
during the approval period, which is
limited to five years. The application
form and added materials, including an
agenda, curriculum vitae, and course
materials are reviewed by NIOSH to
determine if the applicant has
developed a program which adheres to
the criteria required in the Standard.
Following approval, any subsequent
changes to the course are submitted by
course sponsors via letter or e-mail and
reviewed by NIOSH staff to assure that
the changes in faculty or course content
continue to meet course requirements.
Course sponsors also voluntarily submit
an annual report to inform NIOSH of
their class activity level and any faculty
changes. Sponsors who elect to have
their approval renewed for an additional
5 year period submit a renewal
application and supporting
documentation for review by NIOSH
staff to ensure the course curriculum
meets all current standard requirements.
Approved courses that elect to offer
NIOSH-Approved Spirometry Refresher
Courses must submit a separate
application and supporting documents
for review by NIOSH staff. Institutions
and organizations throughout the
country voluntarily submit applications
and materials to become course sponsor
and carry out training. Submissions are
required for NIOSH to evaluate a course
and determine whether it meets the
criteria in the Standard and whether
technicians will be adequately trained
as mandated under the Standard.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time.
