SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information that they conduct or
sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
PO 00000
Frm 00081
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the OCC is publishing
notice of the renewal of the emergency
approvals granted to the information
collections set forth in this document.
Title: Request for a Religious
Exception to the COVID–19 Vaccine
Requirement.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0353.
Title: Request for a Medical Exception
to the COVID–19 Vaccine Requirement.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0352.
Abstract: The President, by Executive
order 13991 (January 20, 2021)
established the Safer Federal Workforce
Task Force. The Task force was
established to give the heads of Federal
agencies ongoing guidance to keep their
employees safe and their agencies
operating during the COVID–19
pandemic. The 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 religious or medical exception
qualify for the exception sought, or,
alternatively, must comply with the
November 22 deadline, the OCC has
developed the ‘‘Request for Religious
Exception to the COVID–19 Vaccination
Requirement Form’’ and the ‘‘Request
for Medical Exception to the COVID–19
Vaccination Requirement Form’’
(collectively, Request forms).
The Request forms were developed,
consistent with guidance issued by the
Task force and the U.S. Department of
Treasury’s Office of Civil Rights and
Diversity, to gather information from
employees and applicants for
employment who have requested
religious or medical exceptions to
determine whether such employees
qualify for legal exceptions to the
vaccine requirement. The Request forms
also will be used to collect information
from job applicants who may request a
legal exception upon receiving an offer
of employment from the OCC.
Type of Review: Extension, without
change, of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit; individuals.
Religious Exception:

approval. All comments will become a
matter of public record. Comments are

information are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
