    General Description of Collection: Durable Medical Equipment (DME) 
is any equipment that provides therapeutic benefits to a patient in 
need because of certain medical conditions and/or illness. They consist 
of items that are primarily and customarily used to serve a medical 
purpose; are not useful to a person in the absence of illness or 
injury; are ordered or prescribed by a physician; are reusable; can 
stand repeated use, and are appropriate for use in the home. Other 
devices covered in this guidance include prosthetic equipment (cardiac 
pacemakers), hearing aids, orthotic items (artificial devices such as 
braces and splints), and prostheses (artificial body parts). The 
information collected will assist in the determination of Peace Corps 
eligibility. If eligible, it will assist with ongoing care during 
service. All applicants to the Peace Corps must have a medical 
clearance that will determine their ability to serve in a particular 
country.
    Request for Comment: Peace Corps invites comments on whether the 
proposed collections of information are necessary for proper 
performance of the functions of the Peace Corps, including whether the 
information will have practical use; the accuracy of the agency's 
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, 
including the validity of the information to be collected; and, ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information 
technology.

    This notice is issued in Washington, DC, on October 30, 2020.
