-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;

Abstract: The collection of information via the DEA-315c form is necessary to determine whether DEA employees are medically cleared to safely participate in physical fitness activities under the Voluntary Wellness Program (VWP). This requirement is both a matter of workplace safety and an essential component of the agency's broader health and wellness initiatives.
Pursuant to DEA Personnel Manual 2792, employees must submit a health assessment completed by a licensed medical professional prior to engaging in VWP activities. This process ensures that participation is medically appropriate based on the individual's current health status and minimizes the risk of injury or exacerbation of existing conditions.
The requirement to collect this information is further supported by administrative directives that promote employee well-being and support the safe implementation of agency-sponsored wellness programs. A copy of the relevant section of DEA Personnel Manual 2792 is attached in accordance with the request.
