SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The vaccination requirement issued pursuant to E.O. 14043, is currently the subject of a nationwide injunction. While that injunction remains in place, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will not process requests for a medical exception from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement pursuant to E.O. 14043. HUD 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 HUD may nevertheless receive information regarding a medical exception. That is because, if HUD 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, HUD 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. This notice informs the public that HUD is seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in Section A. The
