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.
II. Method of Collection
The primary method of collection is
electronic, although some hard copies
may be mailed or faxed.

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.
all respondents have private insurance,
the estimated annual cost would be
approximately $1,750 which assumes a
$35 co-pay.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
