This information collection is being
established in order to promote the safety of Federal buildings,
the Federal workforce, and others on site at agency facilities
consistent with the COVID-19 Workplace Safety: Agency Model Safety
Principles established by the Safer Federal Workforce Task Force
and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Specifically, this information will be used by OPM staff charged
with implementing and enforcing workplace safety
protocols.
This information must be
collected prior to the time periods established under Part 1320 of
the regulations and is essential to implement agencies’ health and
safety measures included within recent CDC and Safer Federal
Workforce Task Force Guidance. Government agencies have an urgent
need to request attestation of vaccination status from individuals
entering Federal buildings and workspaces. Applying regular PRA
clearance procedures is likely to cause harm because of the threat
of COVID-19 exposure and transmission.
