SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Consistent with guidance from the 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), guidance from the 

Safer Federal Workforce Task Force 

established pursuant to E.O. 13991 of 

January 20, 2021, Protecting the Federal 

Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing, 

and E.O. 14043 of September 9, 2021, 

Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 

Vaccination for Federal Employees, the 

request for this collection of information 

is essential to implement the USPTO 

health and safety measures regarding 

the Federal employee medical 

exemptions to the COVID–19 mandatory 

vaccinations. The Rehabilitation Act of 

1973, as amended, requires Federal 

agencies to provide reasonable 

accommodations to qualified employees 

with disabilities unless that reasonable 

accommodation would impose an 

undue hardship on the employee’s 

agency. See 29 U.S.C. 791; 29 CFR part 

1614; see also 20 CFR part 1630 and 

E.O.13164 of July 26, 2000, Requiring 

Federal Agencies to Establish 

Procedures to Facilitate the Provision of 

Reasonable Accommodation. Section 2 

of E.O. 14043 mandates that each 

agency ‘‘implement, to the extent 

consistent with applicable law, a 

program to require COVID–19 

vaccination for all of its Federal 

employees, with exceptions only as 

required by law.’’ This COVID–19 

Vaccine Supplemental Medical Provider 

Statement is necessary for USPTO to 

determine legal exemptions to the 

vaccine requirement under the 

Rehabilitation Act. 

The vaccination requirement issued 

pursuant to E.O. 14043, is currently the 

subject of a nationwide injunction. 

While that injunction remains in place, 

USPTO will not process requests for a 

medical exception from the COVID–19 

vaccination requirement pursuant to 

E.O. 14043. USPTO 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 USPTO may nevertheless receive 

information regarding a medical 

exception. That is because, if USPTO 

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, USPTO 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. 

II. Method of Collection 

USPTO utilizes its USPTO 

Accommodation Point for employees to 

request accommodations. The 

individual responder/medical service 

provider will fill out the required fields 

of the form and submit the completed 

form to the appropriate USPTO 

personnel/employee requesting the 

accommodation. A link to this form or 

a PDF version may be emailed to 

respondents who will then print it out 

to complete it manually or complete it 

electronically. USPTO will continue to 

explore options to use technology to 

reduce the burden on respondents.

IV. Request for Comments 

The USPTO is soliciting public 

comments to: 

(a) Evaluate whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(d) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

All comments submitted in response 

to this notice are a matter of public 

record. USPTO will include or 

summarize each comment in the request 

to OMB to approve this information 

collection. Before including an address, 

phone number, email address, or other 

personally identifiable information (PII) 

in a comment, be aware that the entire 

comment— including PII—may be made 

publicly available at any time. While 

you may ask in your comment to 

withhold PII from public view, USPTO 

cannot guarantee that it will be able to 

do so.
