Safety, and Readiness Forms
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on August 17, 2023 (88 FR 56009) during a 60-day
comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public
comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: Office of Marine and Aviation Operations: Occupational
Health, Safety, and Readiness Forms.
OMB Control Number: 0648-XXXX.
Form Number(s): Medical: 57-10-01, 57-10-02.
Type of Request: Regular submission. This is a new information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 1,000.
Average Hours per Response: 57-10-01, NOAA Health Services
Questionnaire: 15 minutes; 57-10-02, Annual Tuberculosis Screening
Document: 5 minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 167.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for approval of a collection
currently in use without OMB approval.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Office
of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) manages and operates NOAA's
fleet of 15 research and survey ships and nine specialized
environmental data-collecting aircraft. Comprised of civilians and
officers of the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps, OMAO also manages the
NOAA Diving Program, NOAA Small Boat Program, and NOAA Uncrewed Systems
Operations Center.
The research and survey ships operated, managed, and maintained by
OMAO comprise the largest fleet of federal research ships in the
nation. Ranging from large oceanographic research vessels capable of
exploring the world's deepest ocean, to smaller ships responsible for
charting the shallow bays and inlets of the United States, the fleet
supports a wide range of marine activities including fisheries surveys,
nautical charting, and ocean and climate studies.
NOAA aircraft operate throughout the world providing a wide range
of capabilities including hurricane reconnaissance and research, marine
mammal and fisheries assessment, and coastal mapping. NOAA aircraft
carry scientists and specialized instrument packages to conduct
research for NOAA's missions.
Housed within the NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations and
staffed by the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) Commissioned Corps
officers, the Office of Health Services (OHS) is charged with directly
supporting all personnel within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA).
NOAA medical officers work to maximize deployment readiness and
minimize medically related disruptions to fleet, aircraft, and diving
operations. OHS programs assess and promote mental and physical
readiness within their operational medical discipline. Given the
austere and geographically remote operational environments OHS
supports, our officers are also responsible for preventing and
containing disease in operational environments as subject matter
experts in travel medicine. The forms contained in this collection will
be used to make medical readiness recommendations for individuals and
to key leadership in operational environments.
The 60-day Federal Register Notice indicated additional forms
Medical: 57-10-05. Safety: 57-17-02, 57-17-09; and Small Boat: 57-19-
04. However, these forms are completed by NOAA personnel and not
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Frequency: As needed.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
