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

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
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

Title: Request for COVID–19 Vaccine
Status and Proof of Vaccination.’’
OMB Control No.: 1557–0355.
Abstract: The President, by Executive
order 13991 (January 20, 2021)
established the Safer Federal Workforce
Task Force (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
a legally required exception. The Task
Force issued guidance regarding
individuals who start their government
service after November 22, 2021, stating
that those individuals should be fully
vaccinated prior to their start date,
except in limited circumstances where
an accommodation is legally required.
The guidance also provided that
agencies should require documentation
to prove vaccination status of those
individuals prior to the enter on-duty
date. To determine whether individuals
who have been offered a position with
the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC) are fully vaccinated
during the onboarding process and
before their enter on-duty date, in
compliance with the Task Force
guidance, the OCC developed the
Appian vaccine attestation form in an
online application (Attestation Form).
The Attestation Form was developed,
consistent with guidance issued by the
Task Force and the U.S. Department of
Treasury, to gather information from
current and prospective employees
regarding their vaccination status and
proof of vaccination.
To ensure compliance with an
applicable preliminary nationwide
injunction, which may be
supplemented, modified, or vacated,
depending on the course of ongoing
litigation, Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency will take no action to
implement or enforce the COVID–19
vaccination requirement pursuant to
Executive Order 14043 on Requiring
Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination
for Federal Employees while the
injunction is in effect.
Type of Review: Extension, without
change, of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Individuals.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

approval. All comments will become a
matter of public record. Comments are
invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;

technology; and
(e) Estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information.
