Benjamin Inks, Writer/Editor, Office of Compliance, Policy
Administration Section, 700 Army Navy Drive, Arlington, VA 22202,
telephone: 571-672-4524, email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a7e5c2c9cdc6cacec989e589eec9ccd4e7c3c2c689c0c8d1"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="8ccee9e2e6ede1e5e2a2cea2c5e2e7ffcce8e9eda2ebe3fa">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of
the following four points:
--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau of Justice
Statistics, including whether the information will have practical
utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Abstract: The collection of information via the DEA-315c form is
necessary to determine whether DEA employees are medically cleared to
safely participate in physical fitness activities under the Voluntary
Wellness Program (VWP). This requirement is both a matter of workplace
safety and an essential component of the agency's broader health and
wellness initiatives.
Pursuant to DEA Personnel Manual 2792, employees must submit a
health assessment completed by a licensed medical professional prior to
engaging in VWP activities. This process ensures that participation is
medically appropriate based on the individual's current health status
and minimizes the risk of injury or exacerbation of existing
conditions.
The requirement to collect this information is further supported by
administrative directives that promote employee well-being and support
the safe implementation of agency-sponsored wellness programs. A copy
of the relevant section of DEA Personnel Manual 2792 is attached in
accordance with the request.
