DOJ Announces New Information Collection for DEA Wellness Program

Estimated reading time: 2–4 minutes

Purpose of the Collection

The new collection, called the “DEA Voluntary Wellness Program Healthcare Provider Clearance,” is required for DEA employees who want to join physical fitness activities under the Wellness Program.

To make sure it is safe for employees to join these activities, they must submit a health assessment form. This form must be filled out by a licensed medical professional before taking part.

This process helps keep employees safe and supports the agency’s health and wellness efforts.

How the Information Will Be Used

The main goal is to check if DEA employees are medically able to safely take part in physical activities. The results will help prevent injuries or worsening of any health conditions.

This requirement comes from the DEA Personnel Manual 2792. Employees must get medical clearance before starting any voluntary wellness activities with the agency.

Details of the Collection

  • The collection uses form DEA-315c.
  • Only a licensed medical professional can fill out the form.
  • The form is required before an employee can take part in wellness activities.

Estimated Burden

  • The DEA estimates about 100 people will respond each year.
  • Each response will take about 45 minutes to complete.
  • The total annual burden is expected to be 75 hours.
  • There is no annual cost burden to the DEA.
