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.
