Comments are requested concerning: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; the accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees.

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burdens,

accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the
information collection burden on small business concerns with fewer
than 25 employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid control number. No
person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information subject to the PRA that does not display a
valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control No.: 3060-1298.
Title: Volunteer Service Agreement Form, FCC Form A-384.
Form No.: FCC Form A-384.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 140 respondents and 140
responses.
Estimated Time Per Response: 0.25 hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time reporting requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Mandatory. The statutory authority to
collect this information derives from 5 U.S.C. 3111, Acceptance of
volunteer service. Certification of compliance with COVID-19 vaccine
requirements for Federal workers derives from several sources,
including most recently Executive Order 13991, Protecting the Federal
Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing; Executive Order 14043, Requiring
Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees; and OMB
Memorandum M 21-15, COVID-19 Safe Federal Workplace: Agency Model
Safety Principles (Jan. 24, 2021), as amended.
Total Annual Burden: 35 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Privacy Act Impact Assessment: Yes. Records of current and former
Federal employees as defined in 5 U.S.C. 2105, including volunteers,
grantees, and contract employees on whom the agency maintains records,
are covered by OPM's governmentwide System of Records Notice (SORN)
OPM/GOVT-1 General Personnel Records, posted at <a href="https://www.opm.gov/information-management/privacy-policy/sorn/opm-sorn-govt-1-general-personnel-records.pdf">https://www.opm.gov/information-management/privacy-policy/sorn/opm-sorn-govt-1-general-personnel-records.pdf</a>. The Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for the
Electronic Official Personnel Folder is posted at <a href="https://www.opm.gov/information-management/privacy-policy/privacy-policy/eopf-pia.pdf">https://www.opm.gov/information-management/privacy-policy/privacy-policy/eopf-pia.pdf</a>.
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: As Privacy Act-protected
records, these records are kept confidential and will not be disclosed
except under applicable Privacy Act exceptions, including the routine
uses identified in the OPM/GOVT-1 SORN.
Needs and Uses: The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 authorized
Federal agencies to establish programs designed to provide
educationally related work assignments for students in a non-pay
status. The Act provides that heads of agencies may accept, subject to
regulations issued by the Office of Personnel Management, volunteer
service for the United States if the service (1) is performed by a
student,
[[Page 14011]]
with permission of the institution at which the student is enrolled;
(2) is to be uncompensated; and (3) will not displace any employee.
Form A-384 establishes the responsibility of students, their
institutions, and the FCC as a precondition to accepting individuals as
unpaid volunteers.
One such precondition now included on Form A-384, for which the FCC
previously received Emergency approval, is the requirement that
students comply with regulations and policies pertaining to COVID-19
vaccination requirements for Federal workers. On September 9, 2021, the
President issued Executive Order (E.O.) 14043, ``Requiring Coronavirus
Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees,'' requiring all Federal
employees, as defined by 5 U.S.C. 2105, to be vaccinated against COVID-
19, with exceptions only as required by law. Although the vaccination
requirement is currently the subject of a nationwide injunction, the
FCC will continue to develop and implement health and safety protocols
to ensure and maintain the safety of all occupants during standard
operations and public health emergencies or similar health and safety
incidents, such as a pandemic. As relevant here, this includes
requiring unpaid employees to report their vaccination status.
