I. Abstract
Executive Order (E.O.) 14043, titled,
‘‘Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019
Vaccination for Federal Employees,’’
requires all Federal employees, as
defined in 5 U.S.C. 2105, to be
vaccinated against COVID–19, with
exceptions only as required by law.
Requests for ‘‘medical accommodation’’

medical information provided, subject
to the applicable Rehabilitation Act
standards. This medical exemption form
is necessary for Commerce to determine
legal exemptions to the vaccine
requirement under the Rehabilitation
Act. The Form ‘‘Request for a Medical
Exception to the COVID–19 Vaccine
Requirement’’ will be completed by
employees who seek a medical
exception to the Federal employee
vaccine mandate, and by their personal
medical providers.
To request a medical exemption from
the COVID–19 vaccination requirement,
an employee must complete Part 1 of
the medical exemption form and their
medical provider must complete Part 2.
The Bureau’s Reasonable
Accommodation Coordinators would
receive this form from the requester and
use it to make a recommendation to the
supervisor based on the medical
information provided in the form.
The request for this collection of
information is essential to continue the
Department of Commerce’s health and
safety measures regarding the Federal
Employee medical exemptions to the
COVID–19 mandatory vaccinations.

The purpose of this collection is to
gather information to mitigate variances

with physical and logical access to the
Department’ s facilities and resources.
