Abstract: As a law enforcement agency, the United States Marshals
Service has unique medical requirements that prevent USMS from using
current medical-related Standard and Optional forms. These forms have
been developed to allow USMS to ensure that the applicants, contract
employees and current federal employees who work in operational law
enforcement positions are physically fit enough to perform their duties
safely and successfully.

previously approved collection.
