Title: FERC–1000, Request for a
Medical Exception to the COVID–19
Vaccination Requirement.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0320.
Abstract: The purpose of this threeyear renewal of the information
collection is to allow the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission to collect
information from FERC employees (and
their medical providers) applying for a
medical exception to the COVID–19
Vaccination Requirement as specified in
Part 2 of FERC Form No. 1000.1
Consistent with guidance from the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), guidance from the
Safer Federal Workforce Task Force
established pursuant to Executive Order
13991 of January 20, 2021, Protecting
the Federal Workforce and Requiring
Mask-Wearing, and Executive Order
14043 of September 9, 2021, Requiring
Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination
for Federal Employees, the request for
this information collection is essential
to implement the Commission’s health
and safety measures regarding the
federal employee medical exceptions to
the COVID–19 mandatory vaccinations.
In addition, the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, as amended, requires Federal
Agencies to provide reasonable
accommodations to qualified employees
with disabilities unless that reasonable
accommodation would impose an
undue hardship on the employee’s
Agency. See 29 U.S.C. 791 and 29 CFR
part 1614; see also 20 CFR part 1630 and
Executive Order 13164 of July 26, 2000,
Requiring Federal Agencies to Establish
Procedures to Facilitate the Provision of
Reasonable Accommodation. Section 2
of E.O. 14043 mandates that each
agency, ‘‘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.’’ This medical
exception form (FERC Form No. 1000) is
necessary for the Commission to
determine whether to grant medical
exceptions to the vaccine requirement
under the Rehabilitation Act.
The information being requested
helps promote the safety of the Federal
workforce, Federal buildings, and others
on site at FERC facilities. This collection
is consistent with the COVID–19
Workplace Safety Agency Model Safety
Principles established by the White
House Safer Federal Workforce Task
Force and guidance from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
Type of Respondent: Medical
Providers.

Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

1 The vaccination requirement issued pursuant to
E.O. 14043, is currently the subject of a nationwide
injunction. While that injunction remains in place,
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
will not process requests for a medical exception
from the COVID–19 vaccination requirement
pursuant to E.O. 14043. FERC 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 FERC may
nevertheless receive information regarding a
medical exception. That is because, if FERC 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,
FERC 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.
