SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of 

the continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent (i.e., 

employer) burden, conducts a 

preclearance consultation program to 

provide the public with an opportunity 

to comment on proposed and 

continuing information collection 

requirements in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

ensures that information is in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and costs) is minimal, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) 

authorizes information collection by 

employers as necessary or appropriate 

for enforcement of the OSH Act or for 

developing information regarding the 

causes and prevention of occupational 

injuries, illnesses, and incidents (29 

U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires 

that OSHA obtain such information 

with minimum burden upon employers, 

especially those operating small 

businesses, and to reduce to the 

maximum extent feasible unnecessary 

duplication of effort in obtaining 

information (29 U.S.C. 657). 

The information collection 

requirements specified in the 

Commercial Diving Operations (CDO) 

Standard (29 CFR part 1910, subpart T) 

for general industry helps protect 

workers from the adverse health effects 

that may result from their involvement 

in CDO, and provide access to these 

records by OSHA, the National Institute 

for Occupational Safety and Health, the 

affected workers, and designated 

representatives. The major information 

collection requirements of the CDO 

Standard include the following 

elements of the Standard. 

§ 1910.401(b). Allows employers to 

deviate from the requirements of the 

subpart to the extent necessary to 

prevent or minimize a situation that is 

likely to cause death, serious physical 

harm, or major environmental damage. 

They must provide written notice to the 

OSHA Area Director within 48 hours 

and must describe the reason for and 

extent of the deviation. 

§§ 1910.410(a)(3) and (a)(4). 

Employers must train all dive team 

members in cardiopulmonary 

resuscitation and first aid (i.e., the 

American Red Cross standard course or 

equivalent). Additionally, employers 

must train dive team members exposed 

to hyperbaric conditions, or who control 

exposure of other workers to such 

conditions, in diving-related physics 

and physiology. 

§§ 1910.420(a) and (b). Employers 

must develop and maintain a safe 

practices manual and make it available 

to each dive team member at the dive 

location. For each diving mode used at 

the dive location, the manual must 

contain: Safety procedures and 

checklists for diving operations; 

assignments and responsibilities of the 

dive team members; equipment 

procedures and checklists; and 

emergency procedures for fire, 

equipment failures, adverse 

environmental conditions, and medical 

illness and injury. 

§ 1910.421(b). Employers are to keep 

at the dive location a list of telephone 

or call numbers for the following 

emergency facilities and services: An 

operational decompression chamber (if 

such a chamber is not at the dive 

location), accessible hospitals, available 

physicians and means of emergency 

transportation, and the nearest U.S. 

Coast Guard Rescue Coordination 

Center. 

§ 1910.421(f). Requires employers to 

brief dive team members on the divingrelated tasks they are to perform, safety 

procedures for the diving mode used at 

the dive location, any unusual hazards 

or environmental conditions likely to 

affect the safety of the diving operation, 

and any modifications to operating 

procedures necessitated by the specific 

diving operation. Before assigning 

diving-related tasks, employers must ask 

each dive team member about their 

current state of physical fitness, and 

inform the member about the procedure 

for reporting physical problems or 

adverse physiological effects during and 

after the dive. 

§ 1910.421(h). If the diving operation 

occurs in an area capable of supporting 

marine traffic and occurs from a surface 

other than a vessel, employers are to 

display a rigid replica of the 

international code flag ‘‘A’’ that is at 

least one meter in height so that it is 

visible from any direction; the employer 

must illuminate the flag during night 

diving operations. 

§ 1910.422(e). Employers must 

develop and maintain a depth-time 

profile for each diver that includes, as 

appropriate, any breathing gas changes 

or decompression. 

§§ 1910.423(b)(1)(ii) through (b)(2). 

Requires the employer to: Instruct the 

diver to report any physical symptoms 

or adverse physiological effects, 

including symptoms of decompression 

sickness (DCS); advise the diver of the 

location of a decompression chamber 

that is ready for use; and alert the diver 

to the potential hazards of flying after 

diving. For any dive outside the nodecompression limits, deeper than 100 

feet, or that uses mixed gas in the 

breathing mixture, the employer must 

also inform the diver to remain awake 

and in the vicinity of the decompression 

chamber that is at the dive location for 

at least one hour after the dive or any 

decompression or treatment associated 

with the dive. 

§ 1910.423(d). Employers are to record 

and maintain the following information 

for each diving operation: The names of 

dive-team members; date, time, and 

location; diving modes used; general 

description of the tasks performed; an 

estimate of the underwater and surface 

conditions; and the maximum depth 

and bottom time for each diver. In 

addition, for each dive outside the nodecompression limits, deeper than 100 

feet, or that uses mixed gas in the 

breathing mixture, the employer must 

record and maintain the following 

information for each diver: Depth-time 

and breathing gas profiles; 

decompression table designation 

(including any modifications); and 

elapsed time since the last pressure 

exposure if less than 24 hours or the 

repetitive dive designation. If the dive 

results in DCS symptoms, or the 

employer suspects that a diver has DCS, 

the employer must record and maintain 

a description of the DCS symptoms 

(including the depth and time of 

symptom onset) and the results of 

treatment. 

§ 1910.423(e). Requires employers to 

assess each DCS incident by: 

Investigating and evaluating it based on 

the recorded information, consideration 

of the past performance of the 

decompression profile used, and the 

diver’s individual susceptibility to DCS; 

taking appropriate corrective action to 

reduce the probability of a DCS 

recurrence; and, within 45 days of the 

DCS incident, preparing a written 

evaluation of this assessment, including 

any corrective action taken. 

§§ 1910.430(a), (b)(4), (c)(1)(i) through 

(c)(1)(iii), (c)(3)(i), (f)(3)(ii), and (g)(2). 

Employers must record by means of 

tagging or a logging system any work 

performed on equipment, including any 

modifications, repairs, tests, 

calibrations, or maintenance performed 

on the equipment. This record is to 

include the date and description of the 

work, as well as the name or initials of 

the individual who performed the work. 

Employers must test two specific 

types of equipment, including, 

respectively: The output of air 

compressor systems used to supply 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 41 / Wednesday, March 2, 2022 / Notices 11735 

breathing air to divers for air purity 

every six months by means of samples 

taken at the connection to the 

distribution system; and breathing-gas 

hoses at least annually at one and onehalf times their working pressure. 

Employers must mark each umbilical 

(i.e., separate lines supplying air and 

communications to a diver, as well as a 

safety line, tied together in a bundle), 

beginning at the diver’s end, in 10-foot 

increments for 100 feet, then in 50-foot 

increments thereafter. Employers must 

also regularly inspect and maintain 

mufflers located in intake and exhaust 

lines on decompression chambers and 

test depth gauges using dead-weight 

testing, or calibrate the gauges against a 

master reference gauge; such testing or 

calibration is to occur every six months 

or if the employer finds a discrepancy 

larger than two percent of the full scale 

between any two equivalent gauges. 

Employers must make a record of the 

tests, calibrations, inspections, and 

maintenance performed on the 

equipment. 

§§ 1910.440(a)(2) and (b). Employers 

must record any diving-related injuries 

or illnesses that result in a dive-team 

member remaining in the hospital for at 

least 24 hours. This record is to describe 

the circumstances of the incident and 

the extent of any injuries or illnesses. 

Employers must make any record 

required by the Subpart available, on 

request, for inspection and copying to 

an OSHA compliance officer or to a 

representative of the National Institute 

for Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH). Employers are to provide 

workers, their designated 

representatives, and OSHA compliance 

officers with exposure and medical 

records generated under the Subpart in 

accordance with § 1910.1020 (‘‘Access 

to worker exposure and medical 

records’’); these records include safe 

practices manuals, depth-time profiles, 

diving records, DCS incident 

assessments, and hospitalization 

records. Additionally, employers must 

make equipment inspection and testing 

records available to workers and their 

designated representative on request. 

Employers must retain these records 

for the following periods: Safe practices 

manuals, current document only; depthtime profiles, until completing the 

diving record or the DCS incident 

assessment; diving records, one year, 

except five years if a DCS incident 

occurred during the dive; DCS incident 

assessments, five years; hospitalization 

records, five years; and equipment 

inspections and testing records, current 

tag or log entry until the employer 

removes the equipment from service. 

II. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed information 

collection requirements are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

agency’s functions to protect workers, 

including whether the information is 

useful; 

• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of 

the burden (time and costs) of the 

information collection requirements, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• The quality, utility, and clarity of 

the information collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

employers who must comply. For 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information collection, 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

The agency is requesting an 

adjustment increase in burden from 

67,168 hours to 170,806 hours, a 

difference of 103,638 hours. The 

increase in burden is due to the increase 

in the number of professional divers 

going from 3,280 to 3,460 in which 

increased the number of affected 

facilities. 

OSHA will summarize the comments 

submitted in response to this notice and 

will include this summary in the 

request to OMB to extend the approval 

of the information collection 

requirements.
