SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Request for a Medical Exception 

to the COVID–19 Vaccination 

Requirement. 

OMB Number: 0503–0027. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 3-Year 

from approval date. 

Type of Request: Extension Request of 

an Approved Information Collection. 

Abstract: 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 medical 

exemption form is necessary for USDA 

to determine legal exemptions to the 

vaccine requirement under the 

Rehabilitation Act. This includes the 

requisite confidentiality requirements, 

subject to the applicable Rehabilitation 

Act standards, and maintenance of 

supporting documents. 

For the following estimated total 

annual burden on respondents, the 

formula used to calculate the total 

burden hour is the estimated average 

time per response hours multiplied by 

the estimated total annual responses. 

Estimate of Annual Burden: Public 

reporting burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 10 

minutes per response. 

Type of Respondents: Federal 

Employees and Medical Providers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,000. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

2,000. 

Estimated Average Time per 

Responses: 0.1666 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 333. 

Comments are invited on: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments may be sent to Ruth 

Brown, Ruth.Brown@usda.gov. All 

comments received will be available for 

public inspection during regular 

business hours at the same address. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

become a matter of public record. 

The vaccination requirement issued 

pursuant to E.O. 14043, is currently the 

subject of a nationwide injunction. 

While that injunction remains in place, 

Department of Agriculture will not 

process requests for a medical exception 

from the COVID–19 vaccination 

requirement pursuant to E.O. 14043. 

Department of Agriculture 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 Department of Agriculture may 

nevertheless receive information 

regarding a medical exception. That is 

because, if Department of Agriculture 

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, Department of Agriculture 

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
