Abstract: Pursuant to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) procedures established at 5 C.F.R. Part 1320, Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the Public, I request that the proposed information collection, the Certification of Vaccination Common Form, OMB Control No. 3206-NEW, be processed as an Emergency Clearance Request in accordance with 5 C.F.R. §1320.13, Emergency Processing.Government agencies have an urgent need to request attestation of vaccination status from individuals entering Federal buildings and workspaces. Applying regular Paperwork Reduction Act clearance procedures is likely to cause harm because of the threat of COVID-19 exposure and transmission.
