B. Collections of Information Employing Statistical Methods

1. Respondent Universe and Sampling Methods

The proposed information collection activity is a request for a benefit, and no sampling is performed.

2. Procedures for the Collection of Information

The Standard Application for Respirator Certification is attached.

Forms for information collection from the human participants are attached.

3. Methods to Maximize Response Rates and Deal with No Response

Response is a request for benefits. The application is readily and freely available.

4. Tests of Procedures or Methods to be Undertaken

The information collection is the minimum to adequately evaluate the request for respirator approval.

Human participant information collection is the minimum to adequately evaluate the respirator performance requirements.

5. Individuals Consulted on Statistical Aspects and Individuals Collecting and/or Analyzing Data

Each SAF response is entered into a digital system by the CDC NIOSH NPPTL Records Room personnel. Once entered in the system, subtasks are automatically assigned to appropriate Institute personnel. Information may be maintained on CDC MUST drives, CDC NIOSH DEIMS, and eventually the CDC NIOSH Respirator Approval System and Edge Computing Platform.

Respirator performance data is entered into a digital system by the NPPTL test personnel. Once entered in the system, the data is part of the project and can be reviewed by appropriate Institute personnel.
