The Volunteer Service Agreement Form is currently used by the FCC to identify individuals seeking to participate in a volunteer service program administered by the agency and determine their eligibility for such service. In addition, the form is being revised to now require individuals seeking volunteer positions to certify that they comply with COVID-19 vaccine requirements for Federal workers as set forth by Executive Order 14043 and other mandates.
The Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) requests Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to submit the information collection described herein under the “emergency processing” provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 5 CFR 1320.13. The Commission is requesting clearance for a new information collection entitled [3060-XXXX], Volunteer Service Agreement, FCC Form A-384. For the reasons explained below, We respectfully request OMB approval for this new information collection at the earliest possible time. To ensure compliance with this mandate, the FCC is requiring all employees to complete and submit a form attesting to their current vaccination status. For volunteer workers, the FCC is choosing to require applicants to certify as to their vaccination status when applying for a position as part of the agency’s existing Volunteer Service Agreement form. However, the FCC is required to obtain OMB approval prior to collecting such information. Moreover, the FCC recently discovered that although its Volunteer Service Agreement form has been used to collect basic identifying information about volunteer applicants for approximately a decade, PRA approval was never sought for the use of this form. Emergency processing is being sought so that the FCC can continue to process volunteer service requests while it seeks approval for use of the existing portion of the form without a lengthy disruption.
