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.
CDC is removing information
collection form 4.422–1a in this
revision, because CDC no longer uses
this form to receive information about
the evaluation report of an applicant
who received a waiver. Since this form
is no longer being used, the estimated
annual total burden hours decreased by
67 hours, from 100 to 33 annual burden
hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Child Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA)
was amended in 1988 to direct the
Secretary of HHS to establish a national
data collection and analysis program,
which would make available state child
abuse and neglect reporting information.
HHS responded by establishing
NCANDS as a voluntary national
reporting system.
In 1996, CAPTA was amended to
require all states that receive funds from
the Basic State Grant program to work
with the Secretary of HHS to provide
specific data elements, to the maximum
extent practicable, about children who
had been maltreated. Most of the
required data elements were added to
the NCANDS data collection.
Subsequent CAPTA reauthorizations
and amendments added required data
elements. The current list of CAPTArequired data elements includes:
(1) The number of children who were
reported to the state during the year as
victims of child abuse or neglect.
(2) Of the number of children
described in paragraph (1), the number
with respect to whom such reports
were—
(a) Substantiated;
(b) Unsubstantiated; or
(c) Determined to be false.
(3) Of the number of children
described in paragraph (2)—
(a) the number that did not receive
services during the year under the state
program funded under this section or an
equivalent state program;
(b) the number that received services
during the year under the state program
funded under this section or an

proposed changes to the NCANDS data
collection instruments. New data

Trafficking Act of 2015 and the
Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery
Act of 2016, both of which amended
CAPTA.
Respondents: State governments, the
