Abstract of Proposed Collection: This
electronic collection records medical
information necessary to determine
whether visa applicants have medical
conditions affecting the applicant’s
eligibility for a visa.
Methodology: Approved panel
physicians will be granted access to an
eMedical system by the Department of
State, to conduct medical examinations
for visa eligibility determinations.
During the initial rollout, some
immigrant visa applicants with a
completed and submitted DS–260,
Application for Immigrant Visa and
Alien Registration will have their
medical exam results submitted to the
Department via the eMedical system.
The panel physician will input the
exam information into the eMedical
portal and it will be transmitted to the
Department for visa adjudication and
retained in the Department’s systems.
The Department anticipates a full
rollout of the electronic medical report
by the end of 2018. During the transition
to eMedical, some applicants’ medical
exams will be completed via paper
forms.
In the paper version of the forms
(OMB 1405–0113), the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) usually
provides the results of visa applicant
medical examinations to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As the Department transitions to the
electronic environment, the information
from the medical examinations will be
provided directly to CDC and DHS for
uses relevant to their respective roles in
the admission process and statutory

Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
The FAA has determined that
the minimum random drug and alcohol
testing percentage rates for the period
January 1, 2018, through December 31,
2018, will remain at 25 percent of
safety-sensitive employees for random
drug testing and 10 percent of safetysensitive employees for random alcohol
testing.

267–8442.
Discussion: Pursuant to 14 CFR 120
.109(b), the FAA Administrator’s
decision on whether to change the
minimum annual random drng testing
rate is based on the reported random
drug test positive rate for the entire
aviation industry. If the reported
random drug test positive rate is less
than 1.00%, the Administrator may
continue the minimum random drug
testing rate at 25%. In 2016, the random
drug test positive rate was 0.610%.
Therefore, the minimum random drug
testing rate will remain at 25% for
calendar year 2018.
Similarly, 14 CFR 120.2 17(c),
requires the decision on the minimum
annual random alcohol testing rate to be
based on the random alcohol test
violation rate. If the violation rate
remains less than 0.50%, the
Administrator may continue the
minimum random alcohol testing rate at
10%. In 2016, the random alcohol test
violation rate was 0.121%. Therefore,
