To determine whether employees who request a medical exception qualify for the exception sought, or, alternatively, must comply with the November 22 deadline, FMSHRC has developed the ‘‘Medical Exception Request to the COVID–19 Vaccination Requirement.’’ 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. The Request form also will be used to collect information from job applicants who may request a legal exception upon receiving an offer of employment from FMSHRC.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the agency’s estimates of the burden of the collections of information; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collections on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
