Request for Non-substantive Change to an Existing Information Collection Request
OMB Approval #0920-0020 – Expiration date 06/30/2014
Justification for non-substantive change:
The Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP) is a congressionally-mandated medical examination program for monitoring the respiratory health of coal miners, established under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, as amended in 1977 and 2006, PL-91-173 (the Act). The Act provides the regulatory authority for the administration of the CWHSP, and the Program operates under the guidelines of 42 CFR Part 37.
Spirometry testing is provided to participants in the Program, and it is necessary to collect information in order to determine if the examinee is physically capable to perform the spirometry test. Attached is a new data collection form (Guidelines for Spirometry in the ECWHSP Mobile) that shows the information that is collected verbally. The information will be used to determine if it is safe for the participant to undergo spirometry. It will also be used to interpret results and provide feedback to miners. No additional burden will be added to the respondents as this collection is already accounted for in the current OMB package (0920-0200) as part of the spirometry burden. The respondent does not complete any additional paperwork as the questions are verbally asked and recorded by the intake staff member.
