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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:34 Mar 01, 2022

Jkt 256001

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

Frm 00049

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

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

E:\FR\FM\02MRN1.SGM

02MRN1

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1

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,
