SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Since the mid-1960s, neutral buoyancy has been an invaluable tool
for testing procedures, developing hardware, and training astronauts.
Neutrally buoyant conditions sufficiently simulate reduced gravity
conditions, comparable to the environmental challenges of space. The
Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) at NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC)
provides opportunities for astronauts to practice future on-orbit
procedures, such as extravehicular activities (EVA), and to work
through simulation exercises to solve problems encountered on-orbit.
NASA hires individuals with demonstrated diving experience as NBL
Working Divers in teams comprised of four divers; two safety divers,
one utility diver, and one cameraman to assist astronauts practice
various tasks encountered in space.
NASA allows guest divers, typically non-federal photographers
representing the media, opportunities to engage in the NBL diving
experience. To participate, guest divers must present a dive physical,
completed within one year of the targeted diving opportunity, for
review by the NASA Buoyancy Lab Dive Physician.
If the guest diver does not have a current U.S. Navy, Association
of Diving Contractors (ADC), or current British standard for commercial
diving physical, they are required to complete a medical examination,
performed by a certified Diving Medical Examiner. The results of the
physical will be documented by on the JSC Form 1830/Report of Medical
Examination for Applicant and presented for review prior to
participating in diving activities conducted at the JSC Neutral
Buoyancy Lab. The associated cost for guest divers to complete the
medical examination
[[Page 38547]]
will vary, typically based on the guest diver's insurance.
A completed JSC Form 1830/Report of Medical Examination, with test
results attached as applicable, must be submitted to enable NASA to
validate an individual's physical ability to dive in the NBL at NASA
Johnson Space Center. The completed JSC Form 1830 will be protected in
accordance with the Privacy Act. Records will be retained in accordance
with NASA Records Retention Schedules.

IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
NASA, including whether the information collected has practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of NASA's estimate of the burden (including
hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (3) ways to
