[0Day-20-0006; Docket No. CDC-2019-0118]
Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Notice with comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part
of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the
utility of government information, invites the general public and other
Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a proposed and/or
continuing information collection, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on Statements in
Support of Application of Waiver of Inadmissibility (0920-0006). CDC
uses the information collected in 0920-0006 to review Class A medical
waiver applications for prospective immigrants to the United States.
CDC assists DHS/USCIS in determining whether or not a prospective
immigrant with a Class A mental health designation may be admitted into
the United States.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before March 23, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2019-
0118 by any of the following methods:
Federal eRulemaking Portal: Regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road
NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments
to Regulations.gov.
Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking
portal (regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address listed above.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan
and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, of the Information
Collection Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Statements in Support of Application of Waiver of Inadmissibility
(OMB Control No. 0920-0006 Exp. 6/30/2020)--Revision--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.
The purpose of this Revision is to remove information collections
for form 4.422-1a, because CDC does not receive information about the
evaluation report of an applicant who received a waiver. This results
in a reduction of 67 burden hours. CDC requests approval for 33 annual
burden hours.
