SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Executive Order (E.O.) 14043, titled, 

‘‘Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 

Vaccination for Federal Employees,’’ 

requires all Federal employees, as 

defined in 5 U.S.C. 2105, to be 

vaccinated against COVID–19, with 

exceptions only as required by law. 

Requests for ‘‘medical accommodation’’ 

or ‘‘medical exceptions’’ will be treated 

as requests for a disability 

accommodation and evaluated and 

decided under applicable Rehabilitation 

Act standards for reasonable 

accommodation absent undue hardship 

to the agency. The agency will be 

required to keep confidential any 

medical information provided, subject 

to the applicable Rehabilitation Act 

standards. This medical exemption form 

is necessary for Commerce to determine 

legal exemptions to the vaccine 

requirement under the Rehabilitation 

Act. The Form ‘‘Request for a Medical 

Exception to the COVID–19 Vaccine 

Requirement’’ will be completed by 

employees who seek a medical 

exception to the Federal employee 

vaccine mandate, and by their personal 

medical providers. 

To request a medical exemption from 

the COVID–19 vaccination requirement, 

an employee must complete Part 1 of 

the medical exemption form and their 

medical provider must complete Part 2. 

The Bureau’s Reasonable 

Accommodation Coordinators would 

receive this form from the requester and 

use it to make a recommendation to the 

supervisor based on the medical 

information provided in the form. 

The request for this collection of 

information is essential to continue the 

Department of Commerce’s health and 

safety measures regarding the Federal 

Employee medical exemptions to the 

COVID–19 mandatory vaccinations. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Department of Commerce will 

collect this information by 

electronically, when possible, as well as 

by mail, fax, telephone, technical 

discussions; and customer experience 

activities such as feedback surveys, 

focus groups, user testing, and in-person 

interviews. Department of Commerce 

may also utilize observational 

techniques to collect this information.
