FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have additional comments

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&#160;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.
