Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 148 / Friday, August 1, 2014 / Notices
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 Standard Application
for the Approval of Respirators (SAF),
currently Version 7. A replacement
instrument which will collect the same
information is in development.
Respirator manufacturers are the
respondents (estimated to average 63
each year over the years 2014–2016) and
upon completion of the SAF their
requests for approval are evaluated. The
applications are submitted at will and
the most reasonable prediction of
respondents is the number from the
most recent year, 63 in 2013. The
decrease is likely due to random
fluctuations and changes in business
conditions. No survey was conducted to
more thoroughly analyze the reasons for
the change in number of respondents.
Although there is no cost to respondents
to submit other than their time to
participate, respondents requesting
respirator approval are required to
submit fees for necessary testing as
specified in 42 CFR Parts 84.20–22,
84.66, 84.258 and 84.1102. In calendar
year 2013 $449,610 was accepted.
Applicants are required to provide
test data that shows that the
manufacturer is capable of ensuring 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 is not required to follow the
relevant NIOSH Standard Test
Procedures. As additional testing is not
required, providing proof that an
adequate test has been performed is
limited to providing existing paperwork.
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 under 42 CFR 84.43. There
is no fee or form associated with audits.
Audits may occur periodically or as a
result of a reported issue. Sixty site
audits were scheduled for the 2013
calendar year. The total request burden
hours are 102,429.
