DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Agriculture has 

submitted the following information 

collection requirement(s) to OMB for 

review and clearance under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13. Comments are 

requested regarding (1) 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; (2) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of burden 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 through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments regarding this information 

collection received by July 25, 2022 will 

be considered. Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be 

submitted within 30 days of the 

publication of this notice on the 

following website www.reginfo.gov/ 

public/do/PRAMain. Find this 

particular information collection by 

selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day 

Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or 

by using the search function An agency 

may not conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information unless the collection of 

information displays a currently valid 

OMB control number and the agency 

informs potential persons who are to 

respond to the collection of information 

that such persons are not required to 

respond to the collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

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 

undertaken to implement or enforce the 

COVID–19 vaccination requirement. 

Department of Agriculture 

Title: Request for a Medical 

Exemption to the COVID–19 

Vaccination Requirement 

OMB Control Number: 0503–0027 

Summary of Collection: 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. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

This information is being requested to 

promote the safety of the Federal 

workforce, the safety of Federal 

buildings, and others on site at agency 

facilities or those interacting with the 

public consistent with the COVID–19 

Workplace Safety: Agency Model Safety 

Principles established by the Safer 

Federal Workforce Task Force and 

guidance from the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention. To request a 

medical exemption from the COVID–19 

vaccination requirement, an employee

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The World Trade Organization (WTO) 

was established as the common 

international institutional framework for 

governing trade relations among its 

members in matters related to the 

Uruguay Round Agreements. The WTO 

is the successor organization to the 

General Agreement on Tariffs and 

Trade. U.S. membership in the WTO 

was approved by Congress when it 

enacted the Uruguay Round Agreements 

Act (Pub. L. 103–465), which was 

signed into law on December 8, 1994. 

The WTO Agreements, which 

established the WTO, entered into force 

with respect to the United States on 

January 1, 1995. The Uruguay Round 

Agreements Act amended Title IV of the 

Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (19 

U.S.C. 2531 et seq.). Section 491 of the 

Trade Agreements Act of 1979, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 2578), requires the 

President to designate an agency to be 

responsible for informing the public of 

the sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) 

standard-setting activities of each 

international standard-setting 

organization. The designated agency 

must inform the public by publishing an 

annual notice in the Federal Register 

that provides the following information: 

(1) The SPS standards under 

consideration or planned for 

consideration by the international 

standard-setting organization; and (2) 

for each SPS standard specified, a 

description of the consideration or 

planned consideration of that standard, 

a statement of whether the United States 

is participating or plans to participate in 

the consideration of that standard, the 

agenda for U.S. participation, if any, and 

the agency responsible for representing 

the United States with respect to that 

standard. 

‘‘International standard’’ is defined in 

19 U.S.C. 2578b as any standard, 

guideline, or recommendation: (1) 

Adopted by the Codex Alimentarius 

Commission (Codex) regarding food 

safety; (2) developed under the auspices 

of the World Organization for Animal 

Health (WOAH) 1 regarding animal 

health; (3) developed under the auspices 

of the Secretariat of the International 

Plant Protection Convention (IPPC, or 

the Convention) and the North 

American Plant Protection Organization 

(NAPPO) regarding plant health; or (4) 

established by or developed under any 

other international organization agreed 

to by the member countries of the 

United States-Mexico-Canada 

Agreement (USMCA) or the member 

countries of the WTO. 

The President, pursuant to 

Proclamation No. 6780 of March 23, 

1995 (60 FR 15845), designated the 

Secretary of Agriculture as the official 

responsible for informing the public of 

the SPS standard-setting activities of 

Codex, WOAH, IPPC, and NAPPO. The 

United States Codex Office (USCO), in 

the United States Department of 

Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Trade and 

Foreign Affairs mission area, informs 

the public of standard-setting activities 

of Codex, and USDA’s Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 

informs the public of WOAH, IPPC, and 

NAPPO standard-setting activities. 

USCO publishes an annual notice in 

the Federal Register to inform the 

public of SPS standard-setting activities 

for Codex (86 FR 29987). Codex was 

established in 1963 by two United 

Nations organizations, the Food and 

Agriculture Organization and the World 

Health Organization. It is the principle 

international organization for 

establishing food standards that protect 

consumer health and promote fair 

practices in food trade. 

APHIS is responsible for publishing 

an annual notice of WOAH, IPPC, and 

NAPPO activities related to 

international standards for plant and
