Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for 
collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: NOAA Aviation Safety Program.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 250.

[[Page 36755]]

    Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Average Hours Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: NOAA has a responsibility to provide a safe working 
environment for its workforce and partners who are exposed to the risks 
associated with flying on behalf of the Agency. NOAA's aviation safety 
policy requires all individuals who fly on aircraft owned or operated 
by NOAA for mission operations, and all NOAA personnel who fly on any 
aircraft for mission operations in the performance of their official 
duties to be medically screened to identify individuals that could be 
placed in a work environment (flight) with the potential to aggravated 
existing medical conditions. NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation 
Operations (OMAO) administers NOAA's aviation safety policy through the 
Aviation Safety Program. OMAO requests medical history information from 
individuals (researchers or NOAA Program activity observers) requesting 
clearance to fly on behalf of NOAA to determine the individual's 
fitness for flight. This information, upon receipt, is reviewed by the 
NOAA Aviation Medical Examiner to determine whether or not to grant a 
NOAA Aeromedical Clearance Notice, receipt of which, authorizes 
participation in flight activities on behalf of NOAA.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions; State, local or 
tribal government; Federal Government; individuals or households; 
business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
