                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

                Collection Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
                1600 Clifton Road NE, MS-D74, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; phone: 404-639-
                7570; Email: [email protected].
                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.
