Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2022 / Notices 24303 

questioning the Commission’s 

conclusion that the [6 GHz Report and 

Order] will protect against a significant 

risk of harmful interference,’’ the court 

‘‘den[ied] the petitions for review in all 

respects save one.’’ 

The one issue as to which the court 

granted review involved a claim by the 

National Association of Broadcasters 

(NAB) ‘‘that because mobile operators 

frequently work indoors, the provisions 

of the [6 GHz Report and Order] 

designed to restrict low-power routers to 

indoor operation offer mobile licensees 

little protection’’, and that therefore, the 

Commission should have ‘‘reserve[d] a 

sliver of [the 6 GHz] band exclusively 

for mobile licensees.’’ In support of its 

claim, NAB argued that ‘‘after the 

Commission allowed unlicensed access 

in the 2.4 GHz band, ‘a contention-based 

protocol . . . failed to protect . . . 

licensed users[,] rendering that band 

partially unusable.’ ’’ 

The court ruled that ‘‘[t]he 

Commission never responded to 

[NAB’s] complaints about interference 

in the 2.4 GHz band,’’ and that 

‘‘[a]lthough the Commission cited a 

study to support its conclusion that the 

[6 GHz Report and Order] sufficiently 

protects mobile operators, that study 

does not rebut the Association’s claims 

about interference in the 2.4 GHz band.’’ 

The court nevertheless declined to 

vacate the 6 GHz Report and Order, 

observing that ‘‘ ‘[i]t is conceivable that 

the Commission may be able to explain’ 

why its experience in the 2.4 GHz band 

supports its ability to protect licensed 

mobile operators from harmful 

interference’’ and agreeing with the 

Commission that ‘‘ ‘vacating this order 

would be incredibly disruptive given 

the fact that devices have already started 

to be deployed . . . .’ ’’ 

In the Public Notice, the Office of 

Engineering and Technology seeks 

comment on NAB’s arguments in the 

Commission’s proceeding regarding 

broadcasters’ experience in the 2.4 GHz 

band, how that experience relates to the 

kinds of contention-based protocol 

operations prescribed for indoor use in 

the 6 GHz rules, and whether the 2.4 

GHz experience warrants reservation of 

a portion of the 6 GHz band for mobile 

indoor operations or any other 

modification to the Commission’s 6 GHz 

rules. The Office of Engineering and 

Technology emphasizes that, in light of 

the limited scope of the court’s remand, 

it does not seek comment on any other 

aspects of the 6 GHz Report and Order. 

Interested parties may file comments

presentation of data or arguments 

already reflected in the presenter’s 

written comments, memoranda or other 

filings in the proceeding, the presenter 

may provide citations to such data or 

arguments in his or her prior comments, 

memoranda, or other filings (specifying 

the relevant page and/or paragraph 

numbers where such data or arguments 

can be found) in lieu of summarizing 

them in the memorandum. Documents 

shown or given to Commission staff 

during ex parte meetings are deemed to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The information collected is used by 

PBS to evaluate a contractor’s proposals, 

negotiate contract modifications,

24304 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2022 / Notices 

evaluate a contractor’s progress, and 

review payment requests during 

contract administration. The clause was 

previously GSAR 552.236–78 Shop 

Drawings, Coordination Drawings, and 

Schedules. The clause is simplified, 

including removing the requirement for 

a specific number of prints and copies 

of various submittals. This 

simplification will ease the compliance 

burden for the contractor during 

contract administration from the current 

state. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Public reporting burden for GSAR 

552.236–72 Submittals is estimated to 

average .25 hours per response, 

including the time for reviewing 

instructions, searching existing data 

sources, gathering and maintaining the 

data needed, and completing and 

reviewing the collection of information. 

The annual reporting burden is 

estimated as follows: 

Respondents: 890. 

Responses per respondent: 5. 

Total annual responses: 4,452. 

Preparation hours per response: .25. 

Total response burden hours: 1,113. 

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary and whether it 

will have practical utility; whether our 

estimate of the public burden of this 

collection of information is accurate and 

based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected. 

Obtaining Copies of Proposals: 

Requesters may obtain a copy of the 

information collection documents from 

the GSA Regulatory Secretariat Division, 

by calling 202–501–4755 or emailing

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Request for a Medical Exception 

to the Covid–19 Vaccination 

Requirement. 

Agency Form Number: OGE Form 

319. 

Abstract: The OGE Form 319 collects 

information necessary to document the 

consideration, decision, and 

implementation of OGE employee 

requests for reasonable accommodation 

from the COVID vaccination 

requirement set forth in Executive Order 

14043, Requiring Coronavirus Disease 

2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees 

(Sept. 9, 2021). 

OMB Control Number: 3209–0011. 

Type of Information Collection: 

Extension of a currently approved 

collection. 

Type of Review Request: Regular. 

Affected public: Medical providers 

who are asked to provide 

documentation in support of an 

employee’s request for a medical 

exception to the requirement for 

COVID–19 vaccination. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 1 (based on an estimate of 

five respondents over a ten year period, 

rounded up). 

Estimated Time per Response: 10 

minutes. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost Burden 

(in dollars): 17. 

A Federal Register Notice with a 60- 

day comment period soliciting 

comments on this information 

collection was published on February 

10, 2022 (87 FR 7838). OGE received 

one response to that notice. The 

comment did not address the substance 

of information collection; it opposed it 

on the basis of the outstanding 

injunction against implementation of 

the vaccination requirement issued 

pursuant to E.O. 14043. As noted in the 

first notice and again below, OGE will 

not process requests for a medical 

exception or request the submission of 

any medical information related to a 

request for an exception pursuant to 

E.O. 14043 while the injunction remains 

in place. But OGE may nevertheless 

receive information regarding a medical 

exception. Therefore, clearance of the 

information collection is necessary. 

Request for Comments: OGE is 

publishing this second round notice of 

its intent to request paperwork 

clearance renewal for the OGE Form 

319. Public comment is invited 

specifically on the need for and 

practical utility of this information 

collection, the accuracy of OGE’s 

burden estimate, the enhancement of 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information collected, and the 

minimization of burden (including the 

use of information technology). 

Comments received in response will 

become a matter of public record. 

A Notice Regarding Injunctions: The 

vaccination requirement issued 

pursuant to E.O. 14043 is currently the 

subject of a nationwide injunction. 

While that injunction remains in place, 

OGE will not process requests for a 

medical exception from the COVID–19 

vaccination requirement pursuant to 

E.O. 14043. OGE 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 OGE may nevertheless receive 

information regarding a medical 

exception. That is because, if OGE 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, 

OGE 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
