DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment 
Request; Office of Marine and Aviation Operations: Occupational Health, 
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 November 12, 2024 during a 60-day comment period. 
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce.
    Title: Office of Marine and Aviation Operations: Occupational 
Health, Safety, and Readiness Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0824.
    Form Number(s): Medical: 57-10-01, 57-10-02, 57-10-05. Safety: 57-
17-02, 57-17-09. Small Boat: 57-19-04.
    Type of Request: Regular submission [revision to an approved 
information collection].
    Number of Respondents: 1,515.
    Average Hours Per Response: Response time varies based on the form. 
Form may take as little as 5 minutes to complete or as long as 30 
minutes.
    Total Annual Burden Hours: 537.
    Needs and Uses: This is a request for approval of a revision and 
extension to a collection currently in use with OMB approval. The NOAA 
Health Services Questionnaire NF 57-10-01 is being revised to include 
supportive questions to document previous sailing dates and clarifying 
medical information within NF 57-10-01 to ensure OMAO has a complete 
medical history for all personnel aboard NOAA vessels. These changes 
are not expected to change the burden response time.
    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.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Frequency: As needed.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain Benefits.
    Legal Authority: NAO 205-1, NOAA Records Management Program and 33 
U.S.C. 941.
