PEACE CORPS


Proposed Information Collection Requests

AGENCY: Peace Corps.

ACTION: Notice of re-instatement of public use form review request to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1981 (44 U.S.C. 
chapter 35), the Peace Corps has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) a request for re-instatement of OMB Control Number 
0420-0510, the Peace Corps Health Status Review form (PC-1789S). This 
is a re-instatement of an expired information collection with 
revisions. The revisions includes an additional HIV question to the PC-
1789S form Volunteer Medical Application: Health Status Review for 
Peace Corps Volunteers. The purpose of this information collection is 
necessary to ensure that Volunteers meet this medical eligibility 
requirement, all applicants for service must undergo physical and 
dental examination prior to Volunteer service to provide the 
information needed for clearance, and to serve as a reference for any 
future Volunteer medical clearance, and to serve as a reference for any 
future Volunteer disability claims. The Health Status Review form is 
used to review the medical history of individual applicants, and 
currently serving Volunteers. The results of these examinations are 
used to ensure that applicants for Volunteer service will, with 
reasonable accommodation, be able to serve in the Peace Corps without 
jeopardizing their health.
    The purpose of this notice is to allow for public comment on 
whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the Peace Corps, including 
whether their information will have practical use; 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; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and, ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, 
and other forms of information technology.
    A copy of the information collection may be obtained from Ms. 
Emilie Deady, Peace Corps, Office of Volunteer Support, 1111 20th 
Street, NW., Room 5205, Washington, DC 20526. Ms. Deady may be 
contacted by telephone at 202-692-1509. Ms. Deady may be e-mailed at 
[email protected]. Comments on the form should also be addressed to 
the attention of Ms. Deady and should be received on or before July 24,
