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 agenciesâ 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.
