Health Form Adds Sailing & Medical Questions
If you work aboard NOAA vessels, the NOAA Health Services Questionnaire (NF 57-10-01) is being revised to add supportive questions that document previous sailing dates and to clarify medical information so OMAO has a more complete medical history for all personnel aboard NOAA vessels. NOAA will use these answers to make medical readiness recommendations for individuals and to inform leadership in operational environments.
Required Forms: Time Burden for 1,515 Respondents
About 1,515 individuals must complete NOAA's Occupational Health, Safety, and Readiness forms. Each response takes between 5 and 30 minutes, with a total reported annual burden of 537 hours, and responding is required to obtain or retain benefits.
