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.
