Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled ``Statement in Support of Application for 
Waiver of Inadmissibility Under Immigration and Nationality Act'' to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC 
previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public 
Comment and Recommendations'' notice on November 3, 2023 to obtain 
comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received one 
comment related to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an 
additional 30 days for public and affected agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (a) 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;
    (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    (d) 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 submission of responses; and
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct 
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in 
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management 
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice 
publication.

Proposed Project

    Statement in Support of Application for Waiver of Inadmissibility 
Under Immigration and Nationality Act (OMB Control No. 0920-0006)--
Reinstatement with Change--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.
    CDC is updating the name, signature, title and address of US public 
health service reviewing official field on the information collection 
form 4.422-1 because the previously listed individual has retired and 
no longer completes this action. The name, signature, title and address 
will be updated to reflect the current Branch Chief of the Immigrant 
Refugee and Migrant Health Branch in DGMH. CDC requests OMB approval 
for an estimated 33 annual burden hours. There is no cost to 
respondents other than their time to participate.
