The Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (CFPB or the Bureau) is establishing safety protocols for
both fully vaccinated and unvaccinated people. This information
collection (e.g. the certification form) will ascertain
individuals’ vaccination status in order for the Bureau to comply
with Executive Order 13991 titled Protecting the Federal Workforce
and Requiring Mask-Wearing. In compliance with guidance from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Safer
Federal Workforce Task Force, the Bureau is collecting this
information from fully vaccinated individuals so that they can
comply with Bureau safety guidelines. The Bureau is also collecting
this information from partially or unvaccinated individuals so that
that other measures can be implemented to enforce Bureau safety
guidelines (e.g. wearing masks, physical/social distancing, regular
testing, adherence to applicable travel requirements). The Bureau
requests these data to promote the safety of Federal buildings, the
Federal workforce, and others on site at agency facilities
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
and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Specifically, Bureau staff will use these data for implementing and
enforcing workplace safety protocols.
On January 20, 2021, the
President signed Executive Order 13991 (titled “Protecting the
Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing”) in order to stop the
spread of coronavirus disease by relying on the best available data
and science-based public health measures. Vaccines, masks, and
other known public health measures help to reduce the spread of
coronavirus when affected communities employ them. The Bureau
requests the approval of this vaccination attestation to protect
the Federal workforce and individuals directly interacting with the
Federal workforce while ensuring continuity of government service.
This attestation will collect data on the vaccination status of
Federal employees, Federal contractors, and any members of the
public requesting physical access to the Bureau. Failure to collect
these data will result in diminished effectiveness of science-based
public health measures and likely result in public harm. Per 5 Code
of Federal Regulations Part 1320.13, the Bureau is requesting
emergency processing of this submission due to: • The certification
being essential to safe operations within the Bureau; and • The
likely public harm that will result if normal clearance procedures
are followed by Bureau staff.
This ICR is requesting
emergency processing of a new information collection. There are no
program changes nor adjustments.
