Title: Medical Exception Request to the COVID-19 Vaccination
Requirement.
OMB Control No.: 3079-0001.
Abstract: The Safer Federal Workforce Task Force (Task Force)
issued guidance, in accordance with the President's Executive Order
14043 (September 9, 2021), requiring Federal employees to be vaccinated
against COVID-19 by November 22, 2021 absent an exception required by
law. To determine whether employees who request a medical exception
qualify for the exception sought, or, alternatively, must comply with
the November 22 deadline, FMSHRC developed the ``Medical Exception
Request to the COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement'' which was approved by
OMB under an Emergency approval on November 30, 2021. This renewal
request seeks to extend the use of the Information Collection Form in
the event that COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements are subsequently
required in the next three years. This form was developed, consistent
with guidance issued by the Task Force, to gather information from
employees and applicants for employment who have requested medical
exceptions to determine whether such employees qualify for legal
exceptions to the vaccine requirement.
Type of Review: Renewal, without change, of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit; individuals.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 8 Job Applicants, 8 employees, and
36 medical professionals.
Estimated Burden per Respondent: 0.25 hours for applicants and
employees; 0.5 hours for medical professionals.
Total Burden: 22.0 hours.
Dated: March 29, 2022.
Sarah L. Stewart,
Deputy General Counsel, Federal Mine Safety and Health Review
Commission.
