SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for extension of an existing information
collection.
The Wage Mariner Hiring Portal (WMHP) is an internet-based system
(website) that is designed to allow an applicant to apply for a ``wage
mariner'' position within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) fleet of maritime vessels. The WMHP system
collects basic user information, wage mariner licensing,
certifications, and relevant current and or past work history. The
Department of Commerce (DOC), through NOAA, Office of Marine and
Aviation Operations (OMAO) has special hiring authority under Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 5, chapter 1, subchapter A, part 3,
3.2 and under the DOC Department Administrative Order (DAO) 202-302
section 2, subsection .02a. specific to the hiring of federal wage

vessels in order to maintain adequate operations, maintenance, and safe
staffing of the maritime ships.
No physical forms are used in this collection, it is all online.
Applicants fill out basic personal, licensure, and work history
information into a profile resume. Once their basic profile is
complete, applicants can submit this resume to available wage mariner

received is used to determine if the applicant meets the basic job
qualification. The applicant's information is then passed on to the
hiring official or it is placed in a pool of prospective candidates for
future openings. Application information includes: first and last name,
contact number and email address, wage mariner licenses and
certifications, relevant work history.
