SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Optional Form (OF) 178, Certificate of
Medical Examination, is used to collect medical information about
individuals who are incumbents of positions which require physical
fitness/agility testing and/or medical examinations, or who have been
selected for such a position contingent upon meeting physical fitness/
agility testing and medical examinations as a condition of employment.
This information is needed to ensure fair and consistent treatment of
employees and job applicants, to adjudicate the medically-based
passover of a preference eligible, and to adjudicate claims of
discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13,
44 U.S.C. chapter 35) as amended by the Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-
106), OPM is soliciting comments for this collection to:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
4. 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.
