SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The vaccination requirement issued pursuant
to E.O. 14043, is currently the subject of a nationwide injunction.
While that injunction remains in place, the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) will not process requests for a medical
exception from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement pursuant to E.O.
14043. HUD 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 HUD may nevertheless receive information regarding a medical
exception. That is because, if HUD 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, HUD 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.
This notice informs the public that HUD is seeking approval from
OMB for the information collection described in Section A.
The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on the
information collection for a period of 60 days was published on January
21, 2022 at 87 FR 3324.
