Information is collected to enable 42 CFR Part 84 respirator approval certification activities. The updated ICR accounts for an increase of 6,218 estimated total annual burden hours (from 123,702 total annual burden hours per year in 2017 to 129,920 total annual burden hours in 2020). This occurred because NIOSH issued an interim final rulemaking entitled âApproval Tests and Standards for Air-Purifying Particulate Respiratorsâ to allow for the approval of respirators in a new class, PAPR100, better suited to the needs of workers in the healthcare and public safety sectors currently experiencing a shortage of air-purifying particulate respirators, due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
