SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice supersedes the notice published
on January 25, 2022 (87 FR 3759), which
the Department withdraws.
Under Executive Order 14043, every
Federal agency must ‘‘implement, to the
extent consistent with applicable law, a
program to require COVID–19
vaccination for all of its Federal
employees, with exceptions only as
required by law.’’ In following this
directive, the Department imposed a
requirement that its employees must
receive and submit proof of COVID–19
vaccination. As required by 29 U.S.C.
701 et seq. and 29 CFR part 1630, the
Department allows an exception from
the vaccination requirement for
employees who demonstrate medical
reasons or disabilities that would make
the COVID–19 vaccine unsafe for them.
To obtain this exception, employees can
submit the Request for Medical
Exception to the COVID–19 Vaccination
Requirement form available from the
Department’s COVID–19 Information
Hub. The Department uses the
information on this form to verify
employees’ assertions that they are
entitled to an exception to the COVID–
19 vaccination requirement because of
their medical or disability statuses.

Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission;
Extension of an already approved

A Notice Regarding Injunctions: The
vaccination requirement issued
pursuant to E.O. 14043, ‘‘Requiring
Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination
for Federal Employees’’ is currently the
subject of a nationwide injunction.
While that injunction remains in place,
the Department will not process
requests for a medical exception from
the COVID–19 vaccination requirement
pursuant to E.O. 14043. The Department
will also not request the submission of
any medical information related to a
request for an exception from the
vaccination requirement pursuant to
E.O. 14043 while the injunction remains
in place. But the Department may
nevertheless receive information
regarding a medical exception. That is
because, if the Department were to
receive a request for an exception from
the COVID–19 vaccination requirement

pursuant to E.O. 14043 during the
pendency of the injunction, the
Department will accept the request,
hold it in abeyance, and notify the
employee who submitted the request
that implementation and enforcement of
the COVID–19 vaccination requirement
pursuant to E.O. 14043 is currently
enjoined and that an exception therefore
is not necessary so long as the
injunction is in place. In other words,
during the pendency of the injunction,
any information collection related to
requests for medical exception from the
COVID–19 vaccination requirement
pursuant to E.O. 14043 is not
undertaken to implement or enforce the
COVID–19 vaccination requirement.
