SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget

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

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, FMSHRC is publishing 

notice of the renewal of the emergency 

approval granted to the information 

collection set forth in this document. 

Title: Medical Exception Request to 

the COVID–19 Vaccination 

Requirement. 

OMB Control No.: 3079–0001. 

Abstract: The President, by Executive 

order 13991 (January 20, 2021) 

established the Safer Federal Workforce 

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 

an exception required by law. 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. 

Type of Review: Extension, without 

change, of a currently approved 

collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit; individuals. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 8 

Job Applicants, 8 employees, and 36 

medical professionals. 

Estimated Burden per Respondent: 

0.25 hours for applicants and 

employees; 0.5 hours for medical 

professionals. 

Total Burden: 22.0 hours. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. All comments will become a 

matter of public record. 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, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information.

schedule of civil sanctions for 

violations; and (10) a process or 

procedures for disciplinary hearings.’’
