Executive Order 14043, Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees (September 9, 2021), requires all Federal Employees as defined in 5 U.S.C. 2105, to be vaccinated against COVID-19, with exceptions only as required by law. In order to make determinations on requests for medical exceptions to the vaccine mandate, EPA needs to collect information, including medical certification from the employee’s medical provider to support their request for accommodation. This information is essential to implement health and safety measures requiring all Federal employees be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Pursuant to section 3507(j) of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), as implemented in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations at 5 CFR §1320.13, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is hereby requesting emergency processing of an information collection necessary for collecting information from individuals applying for medical exemption to the COVID-19 Mandatory Vaccinations. Given the critical role of the collection of information to meeting our commitments as outlined in Executive Order (E.O.) 14043 of September 9, 2021, Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees and the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force guidance, EPA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures.
