requesting FMLA leave for their own
serious health condition to satisfy the
statutory requirement to furnish, upon

opinion and recertification) to support
the need for leave for the employee’s
own serious health condition. See
825.305(a). The Certification of Health
Care Provider for Family Member’s

requirement to provide an employee
who potentially qualifies to take FMLA
leave with a notice of whether the
employee is eligible as defined in

specific expectations and obligations of
the employee and explaining any
consequences of a failure to meet these
obligations. See 825.300(b) and (c).

whether the information will have
practical utility;

clarity of the information to be
collected;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the

and
• Provide information that could help
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses.
