Evolution of The NOAA Minimum Manufacturing and Performance Requirements for Closed Circuit Mixed Gas Rebreathers N. Eugene Smith 1 and David A. Dinsmore 2 1 NOAA’s Undersea Research Program, 1315 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, Md 20910- 3282 2 NOAA Diving Program, 7600 Sand Point Way, NE, Seattle, WA 98115-0070 Abstract The NOAA Diving Program (NDP) and NOAA’s Undersea Research Program (NURP) together support more than 25,000 dives per year. Under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, NOAA has the mandate to increase the safety and efficiency of divers through advanced diving technologies. To increase the allowable working depth to 300 feet for NOAA-supported scientific dives the NDP and NURP initiated a program to investigate the introduction of closed circuit mixed gas rebreathers (CCRs) into NOAA dive programs. During this investigation it was discovered there was no consensus standard covering CCRs; the European Union Standard was not issued at that time. To answer this need, a NOAA-sponsored working group generated a safety standard titled NOAA Minimum Manufacturing and Performance Requirements for CCRs. This paper will discuss the purpose, development, intended use, and status of the requirements. Introduction The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has two major programs that utilize diving to conduct undersea research - the NOAA Diving Program (NDP) and the National Undersea Research Program (NURP). The goal of both of these federal programs is to help NOAA describe and predict changes in the Earth's environment, and to conserve and wisely manage the Nation's coastal and marine resources. The NDP primarily supports intramural research programs conducted by personnel within NOAA's three major line offices: the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the National Ocean Service (NOS), and the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR). Although not a major line office, NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations, which provides operational support for the aforementioned major line offices, also utilizes divers and therefore, falls under the auspices of the NDP. NURP supports extramural research programs conducted by scientists from various academic and marine research institutions throughout the nation through six regional centers and one institute for undersea technology. These NOAA partners operate on funds provided by NOAA grants, and the grants require that all operations be performed in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. 43
