    Abstract: The Office of Global Affairs (OGA) is requesting an 
approval on an extension by OMB on a currently approved collection, OMB

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.
