Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 158 / Thursday, August 17, 2023 / Notices
With more than 300 divers, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) has the largest
complement of divers of any civilian
federal agency. NOAA Divers conduct
operations in our nation’s waters and
beyond in support of NOAA’s scientific
research and operations. They are called
upon to work in various conditions
ranging from the warm, clear waters of
a marine sanctuary, to the cold, murky
waters of a commercial harbor. The
tasks NOAA Divers complete are as
varied as the waters they dive in, with
most divers supporting projects and
research of the National Ocean Service
(NOS), the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), and the Office of
Marine and Aviation Operations
(OMAO).
NOAA Divers are required to
maintain a high level of proficiency,
both in practice (in the water) and in
theoretical understanding (academic
learning) in order to continue to dive at
NOAA. In addition, NOAA Divers must
maintain medical fitness to dive and are
required to send their diving equipment
out for maintenance as scheduled. If
requirements are not met, divers may
become unauthorized to dive or
suspended. In order to become NOAA
Divers, candidates must first submit a
diving physical to the NOAA Diving
Medical Officers to determine if they are
medically fit to dive. After that, divers
must complete medical documentation
annually to maintain authorization to
dive. To maintain fitness to dive, it is
imperative that divers recognize the
need for a continual and aggressive
exercise program that exceeds basic
health maintenance standards.

Current approval for this data collection
expires February 29, 2024, but is it
requested to use the new instructions at

The Randolph-Sheppard Act (Act), at
20 U.S.C. 107a(6)(a), directs the
Secretary of Education, through the
Commissioner of RSA, to conduct
periodic evaluations of the programs
authorized under the Act. In addition,
section 107b(4) requires State
government entities designated as the
SLA to ‘‘make such reports in such form
and containing such information as the
Secretary may from time to time
require. . . .’’ Sections 107a(a)(2) and
(4) of the Act also require the Secretary
of Education to ‘‘. . . make annual
surveys of concession vending
opportunities for blind vendors on
Federal and other property . . .’’ and to
‘‘. . . make available to the public . . .
information obtained as a result of such
surveys.’’ The information to be
collected is a necessary component of
the data gathering and evaluation
process and forms the basis for the
Randolph-Sheppard Act section of the
RSA annual report to Congress, which is
required by section 13 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973
(Rehabilitation Act) (29 U.S.C. 710). The
RSA–15 form includes information on
the activities under this program and is
used in monitoring the States’
implementation of the program. In
addition, the fiscal data collected by the
RSA–15 highlight the fiscal nexus
between the RSVFP and VR program in
each State, particularly with respect to
the use of Federal VR.
This information collection (IC) will
be implemented upon the expiration of
the current IC on February 29, 2024;
however it is requested to begin the use
of this form and the new instructions for
the FY 2023 data collection (October 1,
