    Title: Peace Corps Report of Physical Examination (PC 1790S).
    OMB Control Number: 0420-0549.
    Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals/physicians.

    General Description of Collection: The Peace Corps Act requires 
that Volunteers receive health examinations prior to their service. The 
information collected is required for consideration for Peace Corps 
Volunteer service. After completion of the Health History Form and 
after passing preliminary non-health-related assessments, the Applicant 
will be ``nominated'' to a program. This nomination does not

[[Page 7713]]

guarantee an invitation to serve, but it does hold a place so the 
Applicant may proceed with the process. After a review by the Peace 
Corps pre-service medical staff of the Health History Form and any 
supplemental forms that the Applicant is required to submit following 
nomination (covered under OMB control number 0420-0510), the Applicant 
may be medically pre-cleared. An Applicant who is medically pre-cleared 
and who accepts an invitation to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer 
undergoes a final medical clearance. Final medical clearance is on the 
basis of a complete physical examination, as documented in a Report of 
Physical Examination (PC-1790S).
    The information contained in the Report of Physical Examination 
will be used to make an individualized determination as to whether an 
Applicant for Volunteer service will, with reasonable accommodation, be 
able to perform the essential functions of a Peace Corps Volunteer and 
complete a tour of service without undue disruption due to health 
problems and, if so, to establish the level of medical and other 
support, if any, that may be required to reasonably accommodate the 
Applicant.
    Request for Comment: Peace Corps invites comments on whether the 
proposed collections of information are necessary for proper 
performance of the functions of the Peace Corps, including whether the 
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 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.

    This notice is issued in Washington, DC, on February 3, 2014.

FOIA/Privacy Act Officer, Management.
