Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 12/11/2008
	Date Received in OIRA: 10/17/2008
Terms of Clearance: In FY2007, DOS reported that its consular officers found 746 immigrants ineligible for admission to the United States under the communicable disease grounds of INA 212(a)(1)(A)(i); 327 of those immigrants overcame the initial finding. Based on the FY2007 figures, an annual number of response estimate of 600 and the time burden associated with those responses may be an underestimation. Revisions to these estimates may need to be made in the future.

Abstract: 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 requesting approval from OMB to collect this date for another 3 years.
