SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Survey of Respirator Use and Practices
(SRUP) is a nationwide survey that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
will conduct at the request of the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH). Data collection for the SRUP will start in
early 2022. In 2001, NIOSH partnered with BLS to conduct the first
voluntary Survey of Respirator Use and Practices. This survey revealed
important insights into respiratory use and hazards in the U.S. used by
researchers, policy advisors, and regulators to further the mission of
protecting U.S. workers from airborne hazards. For additional
substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on March 11, 2021 (86 FR 13914).
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions
of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
