    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.
