Proposed Project

    Worksheet for Identifying Medical Conditions among Refugees and 
Immigrants--New--National Center for Preparedness, Detection, and 
Control of Infectious Diseases (NCPDCID), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    CDC is requesting OMB approval of a worksheet to be used by state 
and local health coordinators to identify and monitor specific medical 
conditions of public health importance in newly arrived refugees and 
immigrants. CDC requests notification of specific medical conditions 
listed on the Worksheet, including Class A and B health conditions not 
recognized overseas, as well as any discrepancies in the overseas and 
U.S.-based medical evaluations. Completion of the Worksheet and 
furnishing the requested information are essential to preventing the 
spread of disease.
    Respondents are State and local health officials who will complete 
the Worksheet and return it to CDC. The Worksheet will be completed 
whenever a medical condition is identified in a newly arrived immigrant 
or refugee. The information collected in the Worksheet will be used by 
CDC to identify and rectify deficiencies in the overseas medical 
evaluation process, and evaluate and optimize overseas screening 
procedures and guidelines in the future.
    The only cost to respondents is their time to complete the 
Worksheet. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 4,250.
