implementing regulations, this document provides notice DoD is 
submitting an Information Collection Request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information on active duty 
military members, DoD civilians, and contractors, inform COVID-19 
vaccine status and return to in-person work. DoD requests emergency 
processing and OMB authorization to collect the information.

for this information collection request by 10 days after publication of 
this notice. Interested parties can access the supporting materials and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The results of the DMA COVID-19 Vaccine 
Survey will provide DMA leadership with an understanding of the 
proportion of the workforce that is vaccinated, or does not wish to be 
vaccinated, and support responses to data calls. This will assist with

exemption will allow the survey to be fielded as soon as possible so 
the results can inform imminent planning and provide responses to data 
calls.
