SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

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. OCC asks 

that OMB approve the collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

Title: Community Reinvestment Act 

Qualifying Activities Confirmation 

Request Form. 

OMB Control No.: 1557–NEW. 

Abstract: The OCC is revising and 

requesting a new OMB control number 

for its form titled ‘‘Community 

Reinvestment Act Qualifying Activities 

Confirmation Request Form,’’ which is 

currently approved under OMB Control 

No. 1557–0160. 

The form was created to address the 

need for a qualifying activities 

confirmation process that would allow 

banks and interested parties to ascertain 

whether an activity qualifies under the 

Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). 

The process was well-received and 

strongly supported by commenters on 

the OCC ANPR and NPR that resulted in 

the 2020 final rule. Commenters on the 

OCC’s September 2021 CRA NPR 

expressed continued support for such a 

confirmation system and, thus, the OCC 

has determined that it is important to 

allow for a more effective and efficient 

confirmation of CRA-qualified activities. 

The proposed revised form includes the 

following changes: 

• The relocation of the regulation 

citation checklist of qualifying activities 

from the submitter portion of the form 

to the OCC portion of the form to reduce 

burden on the submitter and more 

accurately capture the qualifying basis 

of a CRA activity. 

• The relocation of the activity title 

field from the submitter portion of the 

form to the OCC portion of the form to 

reduce burden on the submitter and 

permit the OCC to develop an 

appropriate and unique identifying title 

of the activity for the qualifying 

activities confirmation request decision 

list and the CRA Illustrative List of 

Qualifying Activities, when applicable. 

• The relocation of the activity short 

description field from the submitter 

portion of the form to the OCC portion 

of the form to reduce burden on the 

submitter and permit the OCC to 

develop a unique, appropriate 

identifying short description of the 

activity for the qualifying activities 

confirmation request decision list and 

the CRA Illustrative List of Qualifying 

Activities, when applicable. 

• The addition of a new field to the 

submitter portion of the form to provide 

for the identification of a contact’s bank 

or organization, if applicable, as that 

entity may differ from the bank or 

organization conducting the activity. 

• The elimination of the OCC portion 

of the form from the publicly-available 

submitter portion of the form consistent 

with the integration of the OCC portion 

of the form into a web-based platform 

that eliminates use of the Adobe 

Acrobat format in conducting the review 

of submitted activities. 

• The revision of regulatory citations 

in the form. 

• The addition of a field indicating 

whether the activity occurred between 

October 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021. 

Type of Review: Regular. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit; individuals. 

Number of Respondents: 120. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Total Annual Burden: 2,280 hours. 

On December 15, 2021, the OCC 

published a notice for 60 days of 

comment concerning this collection, 86 

FR 71318. No comments were received. 

Comments continue to be solicited on: 

(a) Whether the collection of 

information is 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 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

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 collection 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.

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for each collection of

Title: Request for a Religious 

Exception to the COVID–19 Vaccine 

Requirement. 

OMB Control No.: 1557–0353. 

Title: Request for a Medical Exception 

to the COVID–19 Vaccine Requirement. 

OMB Control No.: 1557–0352. 

Abstract: The President, by Executive 

order 13991 (January 20, 2021) 

established the Safer Federal Workforce 

Task Force. The Taskforce 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 Taskforce 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. To 

determine whether employees who 

requested a religious or medical 

exception qualified for the exception 

sought, or, alternatively, were required 

to comply with the November 22 

deadline, the OCC developed the 

‘‘Request for Religious Exception to the 

COVID–19 Vaccination Requirement 

Form’’ and the ‘‘Request for Medical 

Exception to the COVID–19 Vaccination 

Requirement Form’’ (collectively, 

Request forms). The Request forms were 

developed, consistent with guidance 

issued by the Task force and the U.S. 

Department of Treasury’s Office of Civil 

Rights and Diversity, to gather 

information from employees and 

applicants for employment who 

requested religious or medical 

exceptions to determine whether such 

employees qualified for legal exceptions 

to the vaccine requirement. The Request 

forms also were used to collect 

information from job applicants who 

requested a legal exception upon 

receiving an offer of employment from 

the OCC. 

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: Businesses or other 

for-profit; individuals. 

Religious Exception: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 4 

Job Applicants. 

Estimated Burden per Respondent: 

0.50 hours. 

Total Burden: 2 hours. 

Medical Exception: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 2 

Job Applicants; 66 Medical 

Professionals. 

Estimated Burden per Respondent: 

0.25 hours for Job Applicants; 0.50 

hours for Medical Professionals. 

Total Burden: 33.5 hours. 

On January 18, 2022, the OCC 

published a 60-day notice for this 

information collection, 87 FR 2669. No 

comments were received. Comments 

continue to be 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. 

A Notice Regarding Injunctions 

The vaccination requirement issued 

pursuant to E.O. 14043, is currently the 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
18070 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 60 / Tuesday, March 29, 2022 / Notices 

subject of a nationwide injunction. 

While that injunction remains in place, 

the OCC will not process requests for a 

medical or religious exception from the 

COVID–19 vaccination requirement 

pursuant to E.O. 14043. The OCC will 

also not request the submission of any 

medical or religious information related 

to a request for an exception from the 

vaccination requirement pursuant to 

E.O. 14043 while the injunction remains 

in place. But the OCC may nevertheless 

receive information regarding a medical 

or religious exception. That is because, 

if the OCC 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, the OCC 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 or religious 

exception from the COVID–19 

vaccination requirement pursuant to 

E.O. 14043 is not undertaken to 

implement or enforce the COVID–19 

vaccination requirement.
