SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To comply with the September 9, 2021,
Executive Order (E.O.) 14043 (Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019
Vaccination for Federal Employees) and October 2021 guidance from the
Safer Federal Workforce Task Force, the NTSB created and received
emergency clearance in November 2021 for the following form: Request
for a Medical Exception to the COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement. This
form is designed for agency employees requesting a medical exception to
the vaccine requirements. The agency uses this form to determine
whether the employee provided sufficient information to justify the
request. Because the OMB number assigned to this form was obtained
through emergency clearance, the OMB number is only valid for six
months and will expire on May 31, 2022. In anticipation of future
requests from its employees, the NTSB is specifically seeking an
extension of this currently-approved collection.
Prior to submitting the ICR 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,
the NTSB currently is soliciting public comments that include: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is necessary for the NTSB to perform
its mission; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for the
NTSB to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the IC; and (4)
ways to minimize burden without reducing the quality of the IC.
This IC is necessary because when an agency employee requests a
medical exception to the COVID-19 vaccine requirements, the NTSB will
use the information provided on this form to determine whether the
employee provided sufficient information to justify the request.
Title of Collection: Request for a Medical Exception to the COVID-
19 Vaccination Requirement.
OMB Control Number: 3147-0028.
Form Number: Not applicable.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently-approved collection.
Affected Public: Private sector.
Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 20.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per Respondent: 1.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Total Estimated No. of Annual Responses: 20.
Jennifer Homendy,
Chair.
