    Information Collection Request Title: Application for waiver of the 
two- year foreign residence requirement of the Exchange Visitor 
Program.
    OMB No.: 0990-0001.
    Abstract: The Office of Global Affairs (OGA) requests that OMB 
approves an extension on a previous approved collection, OMB # 0990-
0001. The HHS program deals with both research and clinical care 
waivers. Applicant institutions apply to this Department to request a 
waiver on behalf of research scientists or foreign medical graduates to 
work as clinicians in HHS designated health shortage areas doing 
primary care in medical facilities. The instructions request a copy of 
Form G-28 from applicant institutions represented by legal counsel 
outside of the applying institution. United States Department of 
Justice Form G-28 ascertains that legal counsel represents both the 
applicant organization and the exchange visitor.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Required as part of the 
application process to collect basic information such as name, address, 
family status, sponsor and current visa information.
    Likely Respondents: Research scientists and research facilities.
