Abstract: Consistent with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Department of Energy (DOE) is establishing specific safety protocols for fully vaccinated Support Service Contractor Employees and not fully vaccinated Support Service Contractor Employees.

Emergency Justfication: DOE has determined that the information must be collected prior to the time periods established under Part 1320 of the regulation, and that this information is essential to DOE’s implementation of safety protocols as provided in recent guidance released by the Centers for Disease and Prevention (CDC) in Executive Order 13991, Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing (Jan. 20, 2021). DOE must collect this information urgently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. DOE determined that public harm is likely if normal clearance procedures are followed. Exposure to and transmission of COVID-19 may be reduced by requesting the vaccination status of support service contractor employees entering DOE facilities.
