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 

sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is 

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 

requirement, the OCC is publishing

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. 

Burden Estimate: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

250.
