Abstract
The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal Agencies to comment on the proposed information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Government-wide policy requires all Federal employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19, with exceptions only as required by law. Employees may seek a legal exception to the vaccination requirement due to a disability, using the reasonable accommodation Form. The agency may also ask for other information, as needed. Requests for "medical accommodation" or "medical exceptions" will be treated as requests for a disability accommodation and evaluated and decided under applicable Rehabilitation Act standards for reasonable accommodation absent undue hardship to the agency.

[Public Notice: 2022-3003]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request
AGENCY: Export-Import Bank of the United States.
ACTION: Submission for OMB review and comments request.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden,
invites the general public and other Federal Agencies to comment on the
proposed information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. Government-wide policy requires all Federal employees to
be vaccinated against COVID-19, with exceptions only as required by
law. Employees may seek a legal exception to the vaccination
requirement due to a disability, using the reasonable accommodation
Form. The agency may also ask for other information, as needed.
Requests for ``medical accommodation'' or ``medical exceptions'' will
be treated as requests for a disability accommodation and evaluated and
decided under applicable Rehabilitation Act standards for reasonable
accommodation absent undue hardship to the agency.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 28, 2022 to be
assured of consideration.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically on
WWW.REGULATIONS.GOV (EIB 21-03) or by email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#dc92bdb7b5bdf29ea9aea8b3b29ce0bdfcb4aeb9bae1" http: exim.gov">exim.gov</a>">Nakia.Burton@<a href="http://exim.gov">exim.gov</a></a>,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and Form Number: EIB 21-03 REQUEST FOR A MEDICAL EXCEPTION TO
THE COVID-19 VACCINATION REQUIREMENT.
OMB Number: 3048-xxxx.
Type of Review: Regular.
Need and Use: The information collected will allow EXIM to
determine compliance and content for transaction requests submitted to
the Export-Import Bank under its insurance, guarantee, and direct loan
programs.
A Notice Regarding Injunctions: The vaccination requirement issued
pursuant to E.O. 14043, is currently the subject of a nationwide
injunction. While that injunction remains in place, EXIM will not
process requests for a medical exception from the COVID-19 vaccination
requirement pursuant to E.O. 14043. EXIM will also not request the
submission of any medical information related to a request for an
exception from the vaccination requirement pursuant to E.O. 14043 while
the injunction remains in place. But EXIM may nevertheless receive
information regarding a medical exception. That is because, if EXIM
were to receive a request for an exception from the COVID-19
vaccination requirement pursuant to E.O. 14043 during the pendency of
the injunction, EXIM will accept the request, hold it in abeyance, and
notify the employee who submitted the request that implementation and
enforcement of the COVID-19 vaccination requirement pursuant to E.O.
14043 is currently enjoined and that an exception therefore is not
necessary so long as the injunction is in place. In other words, during
the pendency of the injunction, any information collection related to
requests for medical exception from the COVID-19 vaccination
requirement pursuant to E.O. 14043 is not undertaken to implement or
enforce the COVID-19 vaccination requirement.
