OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH REVIEW COMMISSION


Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

ACTION: 60-Day notice of information collection; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the 
Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC) offers the 
public and Federal agencies the opportunity to comment regarding 
OSHRC's intent to request an extension of an information collection 
(IC) that was approved through emergency clearance procedures by the 
Office of Management and Budget in January 2022. The information is 
collected through OSHRC's Request for a Medical Exception to the COVID-
19 Vaccination Requirement form. The IC is assigned OMB Control No. 
3202-0005, which is set to expire on July 31, 2022. This 60-Day Notice 
informs the public and Federal agencies that they may submit comments 
to OSHRC regarding this IC.

DATES: Submit written comments regarding this collection of information 
by April 4, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods:
     Email: [email protected]. Include ``PRA, OMB Control 
No. 3202-0005'' in the subject line of the message.
     Fax: (202) 606-5417.
     Mail: One Lafayette Centre, 1120 20th Street NW, Ninth 
Floor, Washington, DC 20036-3457.
     Hand Delivery/Courier: Same as mailing address.
    Instructions: All submissions must include your name, return 
address, and email address, if applicable. Please clearly label 
submissions as ``PRA, OMB Control No. 3202-0005.''

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Privacy Officer, via telephone at 
(202) 606-5410, or via email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To comply with Executive Order (E.O.) 14043, 
``Executive Order on Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for 
Federal Employees'' (Sept. 9, 2021), and guidance from the Safer 
Federal Workforce Task Force, OSHRC created and received emergency 
clearance in January 2022 to collect information through the following 
form: ``Request for a Medical Exception to the COVID-19 Vaccination 
Requirement.'' The information collected is used to determine whether 
an employee is entitled under section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 
1973, 29 U.S.C. 791, to a medical exception to the vaccination 
requirements for federal employees set forth in E.O. 14043.
    The OMB control number assigned to this form was obtained through 
emergency clearance and is therefore valid for only six months, 
expiring on July 31, 2022. In anticipation of future requests from its 
employees, OSHRC is specifically requesting an extension of its IC. 
Prior to submitting an IC request to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1) requires agencies to provide a 
60-day notice in the Federal Register and ``otherwise consult with 
members of the public and affected agencies.'' Thus, through this 
notice, OSHRC is soliciting public comments that include: (1) Whether 
the proposed collection is necessary for the agency to perform its 
mission; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden specified below; (3) 
ways for the agency to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of 
the IC; and (4) ways for the agency to minimize the burden without 
reducing the quality of the IC.
    Title of Collection: Request for a Medical Exception to the COVID-
19 Vaccination Requirement.
    OMB Control Number: 3202-0005.
    Form Number: Not applicable.
    Type of Review: Extension of an approved collection.
    Affected Public: OSHRC employees.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 9.
    Estimated Average Burden Hours per Respondent: 3.
    Frequency of Response: As required.
    Total Estimated No. of Annual Responses: 3.

Cynthia L. Attwood,
Chairman.
