In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled ‘‘Assessing
Respirator Perceptions, Experiences,
and Maintenance’’ to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. CDC previously
published a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection
Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on May 6,
2022, to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did
not receive comments related to the
previous notice. This notice serves to
allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570.
Comments and recommendations for the

Proposed Project
Assessing Respirator Perceptions,
Experiences, and Maintenance—New—
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), is requesting approval of a
new Generic information collection for
a period of three years under the project
titled ‘‘Assessing Respirator
Perceptions, Experiences, and
Maintenance.’’
PO 00000

The National Personal Protective
Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) is a
division of NIOSH which operates
within the CDC. NPPTL was established
in 2001, at the request of Congress, with
the mission of preventing disease,
injury, and death for the millions of
working men and women relying on
personal protective technology (PPT).
As the nation’s respirator approver for
all workplaces (42 CFR part 84), the
development of NPPTL filled a need for
improved personal protective
equipment (PPE) and focused research
into PPT. To this end, NPPTL conducts
respiratory protection research to
examine exposures to inhalation
hazards, dermal hazards, and any other
hazardous environmental threats within
an occupational setting.
Federal regulations exist regarding the
use of respirators in the workplace. The
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) requires
employers whose hazard management
includes the use of respirators to have
a respiratory protection program (RPP),
which has specified components. Thus,
the information collected from human
subjects about their use of respirators is
generally consistent across NPPTL
studies with only the use conditions
changing (e.g., respirator type or
management implementation practices
related to cleaning/decontamination, fit
testing, and training). NPPTL requests a
Generic information collection package
for information collected from
individual workers and managers
related to the perceptions, maintenance,
and evaluation of respirator use on the
job.
Different types of data collection
including surveys, focus groups,
interviews, and physiological
monitoring will be used to: (1) assess
workers’ health and safety knowledge,
attitudes, skills, and other personal
attributes as they relate to their
respiratory protection use and
maintenance; (2) identify and overcome
barriers that workers face while using
respiratory protection to prevent
E:\FR\FM\30SEN1.SGM

exposure to contaminants and other
hazards; (3) understand organizations’
maintenance of RPP directives, and
guidelines that support worker best
practices; and (4) determine appropriate
training, interventions, and programs
that support activities around respirator
use and maintenance. Data collection
may focus on respirator types
ubiquitous to the industry being
studied, new to the industry being
studied, or novel to any industry. These
data collection efforts may occur either
electronically or in the field.
Respondents are expected to include
a variety of employees from occupations
such as public safety and emergency
response, healthcare, and social
assistance occupations who wear or
manage respirator use on the job.
Expected respondent job roles include
industrial hygienists, occupational
health professionals, infection control
professionals, physicians, nurse
practitioners, nurses, infection
preventionists, fire department chiefs,
battalion chiefs, sheriffs, shift
supervisors, firefighters, police officers,
and paramedics. CDC requests OMB
approval for an estimated 643,626 total
burden hours with an estimated annual
burden of 214,542 hours. There is no
cost to respondents other than their time
to participate.

Background and Brief Description
Many young people engage in sexual

infection, other sexually transmitted
diseases (STD), and pregnancy.
According to the 2017 Youth Risk
Behavior Survey (YRBS), 39.5% of high
school students in the United States had
never had sexual intercourse and 28.7%
were currently sexually active. Among
currently sexually active students,
46.2% did not use a condom, and 13.8%
did not use any method to prevent
pregnancy the last time they had sexual
intercourse. While the proportion of
high school students who are sexually
active has steadily declined, half of the
20 million new STDs reported each year
