Document for Public Review and Comment:

Personal Protective Technology (PPT) Action Planning
NIOSH Docket 146

March 22, 2009

NIOSH announced the opportunity for the public to comment on the draft PPT Implementation Plan, to Implement the National Academies Program Evaluation Recommendations. Though presented in a “top-down” approach of focusing on the five NA Report recommendations, this plan was generated “bottom-up” through the effort of a broad cross section of PPT Program employees. All aspects of the plan have been developed with the specific intent of managing the operations of the program against them.

The Plan includes an introduction and the PPT Program’s plan for activities to address the NA Review Committee’s five recommendations for enhancing and expanding the impact and relevance of the program (see http://books.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12203). Narrative is included to provide details behind the recommended approach to achieving the desired outcomes.

The PPT Program is requesting that stakeholders through a public comment period lasting until June 1, 2009, review this plan to ensure gaps have been identified, activities to meet the gaps prioritized, and plans for transitioning R&D efforts into operational entities are developed.
