Proposed Project

1. Statement in Support of Application for Waiver of

Inadmissibility--(0920-0006)--Extension--National Center for Infectious

Disease Control and Prevention (NCID)--Section 212(a)(1) of the

Immigration and Nationality Act states that aliens with specific

health-related conditions are ineligible to receive visas and

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 a visa. The Division of

Quarantine, NCID uses this application primarily to collect information

to establish and maintain records of waiver applicants in order to

notify the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) when terms,

conditions, and controls imposed by waiver are not met. We are

requesting the extension of this data collection for three years. There

is no cost to the respondents.
