SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
In 2023, MBDA awarded cooperative
agreements under the Notice of Funding
Opportunity for the MBDA Capital
Readiness Program. In accordance with
the Government Performance and
Results Act/Modernization Act (GPRA/
MA), and the Foundations for Evidencebased Policymaking Act of 2018
(Evidence Act), MBDA requires all
award recipients to report basic
participant information, service
activities and progress on attainment of
program goals via the Online CRM/
Performance Database. The data inputs
into the Online CRM/Performance
Database originate from progress report
forms used by each awardee to collect
information about each participant that
receives technical assistance services
under the Capital Readiness Program.
This data provides the baseline from
which the Online CRM/Performance
Database is populated. The Online
CRM/Performance Database is used to
regularly monitor and evaluate the
progress of the MBDA programs, to
provide the Department and OMB with
a summary of the quantitative any
information required to be submitted
about government supported programs,
to implement the GPRA/MA, conduct
program evaluation in support of the
Evidence Act. This information may
also be summarized and included in the
MBDA Annual Performance Report,
which is made available to the public.
The MBDA technical assistance
programs continue to use the Online
CRM/Performance Database. The client
transaction and verification forms will

Seattle, Washington. The NDP provides
the guidelines, policy, and training for
all NOAA Divers, which includes all
NOAA employees who dive, as well as
contractors and volunteers, among
others, who conduct diving operations.
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.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Frequency: As needed.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: 29 CFR Subpart T,
Commercial Diving Operations.
