Proposed Project

    Statement in Support of Application for Waiver of Inadmissibility 
under Immigration and Nationality Act (0920-0006)--Extension--National 
Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Section 212(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act states 
that aliens with specific health related conditions are ineligible for 
admission into the United States. The Attorney General may waive 
application of this inadmissibility on health-related grounds if an 
application for waiver is filed and approved by the consular office 
considering the application for visa. CDC uses this application 
primarily to collect information to establish and maintain records of 
waiver applicants in order to notify the U.S. Citizenship and 
Immigration Services when terms, conditions and controls imposed by 
waiver are not met.
    CDC is requesting approval from OMB to collect this data for 
another three years. Based on a review of the number of waivers 
processed by CDC over the last three years, CDC does not request a 
change in the amount of burden. The annualized burden for this data 
collection is 100 hours.
    Respondents must mail these documents to CDC, and this entails an 
additional cost. CDC estimates that respondents will spend a maximum of 
$15 per year on postal fees, for a total of $3,000 annually.
