AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT


Notice of Public Information Collection Being Reviewed by the 
U.S. Agency for International Development; Comments Requested

SUMMARY: U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is making 
efforts to reduce the paperwork burden. USAID invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following proposed and/or continuing information collections, as 
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act for 1995. Comments are 
requested concerning: (a) Whether the proposed or continuing 
collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the burden estimates; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on the respondents, including the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

DATES: Submit comments on or before July 30, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Johnson, Bureau for 
Management, Office of Administrative Services, Information and Records 
Division, U.S. Agency for International Development, Room 2.07-106, 
RRB, Washington, DC, 20523, (202) 712-1365 or via e-mail 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB No.: OMB 0412-0536.
    Form No.: AID 1420-62.
    Title: AID Contractor Employee Physical Examination Form
    Type of Review: Renewal of Information Collection.
    Purpose: When USAID awards contracts that require contractor 
employees to be assigned overseas, the contractor employees are 
required to obtain a physician's certification that they are physically 
qualified to engage in the type of activity for which they will be 
employed. Physicians who do not regularly deal with patients going to 
lesser-developed countries do not appreciate the difficulties of 
providing even the most basic medical services in many such areas. This 
form requests the minimum information needed in order to make a 
determination as to whether or not the individual should travel to the 
post in question. If problematic medical conditions are identified 
prior to overseas travel, the number of medical evacuations are 
reduced. In addition, the information on the form is used by the U.S. 
Embassy Health Unit to determine if the individual is eligible to 
receive access to and medical care from the Health Unit, if such access 
is routinely granted to individuals with the status of USAID contractor 
employees. The individual therefore receives a valuable benefit in that 
those posts with this policy typically do not have adequate medical 
care available in the local economy.
    Annual Reporting Burden: Respondents: 1,280. Total annual 
responses: 1,280. Total annual hours requested: 7,680 hours.

    Dated: May 22, 2002.
