Generic Information Collection Request
(Generic ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery’’ to OMB for
approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et.
seq.).
Background and Brief Description
The information collection activity
will garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
In accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d),
Vol. 79, No. 83/Wednesday, April 30,
2014, a 60-day notice for public
comment was published in the Federal
Register. No public comments were
received in response to this notice.
This is a new collection of
information. Respondents will take
online surveys or participate in Web site
usability testing, interviews, discussion
groups, or focus groups. Below is
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), National Center for
Immunization and Respiratory Diseases
(NCIRD) projected annualized estimate
for the next three years. There is no cost
to respondents other than their time.
The estimated annualized burden hours
for this data collection activity are
6,588.
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data

Proposed Project
Registration of Closed-Circuit Escape
Respirator (CCER) units upon
purchase—42 CFR part 84—
Regulation—New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This project partially satisfies the
requirement created by 42 CFR 84.311,
Registration of CCER Units upon
purchase. Applicants for approval of
closed-circuit escape respirator (CCER)
units must request respirator purchasers
register their respirators with the
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH). The
purpose of the information collection, is
given in § 84.311c: ‘‘The National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) requests, but does not
require, that purchasers of this
respirator register each unit with
NIOSH. Registration will enable NIOSH,
which approved this model of
respirator, to attempt to notify you if a
problem is discovered that might affect
the safety or performance of this
respirator. Registration will also assist
NIOSH in locating deployed units to
periodically evaluate whether this
respirator model is remaining effective
under field conditions of storage and
use.’’
CCER units are respirators designed
for escape from certain hazardous
atmospheres, notably atmospheres that
may be encountered during mining
incidents. Subpart O, Closed-Circuit
Escape Respirators, (§§ 84.300—84.311)
was added to 42 CFR Part 84, Approval
of Respiratory Protective Devices,
describing requirements for a new class
of NIOSH-approved respirators in
response to issues with deployed SelfContained Self-Rescuers (SCSR)
respirators. Purchaser data collection
was added to enable direct
communication about potentially
hazardous issues that may arise with
approved CCER units, and to facilitate
collection of CCER units from the field
for evaluation.
In support of these goals, the
collection will request the name and
postal address of the company that
purchased the respirators, a contact
email address and position title, the
respirator manufacturer, model, serial
number or numbers, and date of
manufacture, and the company industry
and worksite regulation body (i.e.
Mining Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA), Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA), or Other). Data collection will
be through a structured email created
using a NIOSH-hosted web form. Data
collection is expected to take
approximately five minutes per
submission.
While the Federal Government is
expected to purchase approximately
40,000 CCER units annually, these
purchases will not be included in the
burden estimate as MSHA will require
the collection of this data for mine
safety checks. Purchasers covered by
MSHA regulations will be advised that
MSHA reporting requirements will
include all expected benefits of this
CCER registration, and therefore
registration is not recommended. The
private sector is expected to purchase
approximately 4,000 CCER units
annually and a conservative estimate
purchase lot size of ten (400 units).
We estimate an 80% response rate, for
an estimated 320 responses. The
estimated overall burden is 27 hours.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time.
