Peace Corps.
30-Day notice and request for
comments.

AGENCY:
ACTION:

The Peace Corps will be
submitting the following information
collection requests to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
revision of a currently approved
information collection. In compliance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Peace
Corps invites the general public to
comment on the revision of a currently
approved information collection OMB
Control No. 0420–0510: Health History
Form (PC–1789) and the Report of
Medical Examination also referred to as
the Report of Physical Examination
(PC–1790S). The Peace Corps seeks to
remove the Report of Physical
Examination (PC–1790S) from OMB
0420–0510 and request a new OMB
Control Number for the Report of
Physical Examination (PC–1790S).
DATES: Comments regarding this
collection must be received on or before
February 27, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit comments regarding
this proposal. Comments should refer to
the proposal by name or OMB approval
number and should be sent via email to:
[email protected] or fax to:
(202) 395–3086. Attention: Desk Officer
for Peace Corps.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Denora Miller, FOIA Officer, Peace
Corps, 1111 20th Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20526, (202) 692–1236,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Peace
Corps Act states that ‘‘[t]he President
may enroll in the Peace Corps for
service abroad qualified citizens and
nationals of the United States (referred
to in this Act as ‘‘volunteers’’). The
terms and conditions of the enrollment
* * * of volunteers shall be exclusively
those set forth in this Act and those
consistent therewith which the
President may prescribe * * *’’ 22
U.S.C. 2504(a). Eligibility requirements
for the Peace Corps have been
prescribed in 22 CFR part 305. Among
those eligibility requirements is one
relating to medical status. An Applicant
‘‘must, with reasonable accommodation,
have the physical and mental capacity
required of a Volunteer to perform the

essential functions of the Peace Corps
Volunteer assignment for which he or
she is otherwise eligible and be able to
complete an agreed upon tour of service,
ordinarily two years, without undue
disruption due to health problems.’’ 22
CFR 305.2(c). All applicants for service
must undergo a physical examination
and a dental evaluation prior to
Volunteer service to determine if they
meet this medical status eligibility
requirement. In addition, under 22
U.S.C. 2504(e), the Peace Corps provides
medical care to Volunteers during their
service and the information collected
will also be used in connection with
medical care and treatment during
Peace Corps service for applicants who
become Volunteers. Finally, the
information collected may serve as a
point of reference for any potential
future Volunteer worker’s compensation
claims.
Volunteers serve in 67 developing
countries where western-style
healthcare is often not available.
Volunteers are placed in remote
locations where they may suffer
hardship because they have no access to
running water and/or electricity. They
also may be placed in locations with
extreme environmental conditions
related to cold, heat or high altitude and
they may be exposed to diseases not
generally found in the U.S. Volunteers
may be placed many hours from the
Peace Corps medical office and not have
easy access to any health care provider.
Therefore, a thorough examination of an
Applicant’s medical condition is an
essential step to determine their
suitability for service in Peace Corps.

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 18 / Friday, January 27, 2012 / Notices

General description of collection: The
Health History Form is used to
document the medical history of each
individual Applicant. It is a self-report
of pre-existing medical conditions and
is used to help determine whether the
Applicant will, with reasonable
accommodation, be able to perform the
essential functions of a Peace Corps
Volunteer and complete a tour of service
without undue disruption due to health
problems.
The current process requires all
Applicants to complete in its entirety a
Health Status Review form (OMB form
0420–0510: Peace Corps Form PC–
1789). Under the new system, the
Applicant will begin the medical part of
the application process by completing
the Health History Form. The Health
History Form will replace OMB form
0420–0510 and is expected to
significantly reduce the need for
medical office visits and tests. The
Health History Form will be completed
online in an interactive process in
which only questions relevant to each
Applicant’s medical history (based on
responses to previous questions) are
presented. After completion of the
Health History Form and after passing
preliminary non-health-related
assessments, the Applicant will be
‘‘nominated’’ to a program. This
nomination does not guarantee an
invitation to serve, but it does hold a
place so the Applicant may proceed
with the process. After a review by the
Peace Corps pre-service medical staff of
the self-reported information on the
Health History Form, along with any
supplemental forms that the Applicant
may be required to submit following
nomination, the Applicant may be
medically pre-cleared. An Applicant
who is medically pre-cleared and who
accepts an invitation to serve as a Peace
Corps Volunteer undergoes a final
medical clearance. Final medical
clearance is on the basis of a complete
physical examination, as documented in
a Report of Physical Examination.

Health Status Review form (PC 1789)

Examination (PC 1790 S).
OMB Control Number: 0420–pending.
Type of Information Collection:
Revision of a currently approved
information collection.
Burden to the public:

physicians: 4,000/4,000.
(b) Frequency of response: One time.

(c) Estimated average burden per
response: 90 minutes/45 minutes.
(d) Estimated total reporting burden:
6,000 hours/3,000 hours.
(e) Estimated annual cost to
respondents:Indeterminate.
General description of collection: The
current process requires almost all
Applicants to undergo a costly and time
consuming full medical evaluation.
Under the current process, it sometimes
happens that after an Applicant has
spent large amounts of time and money,
the Peace Corps finds that the Applicant
is not medically qualified to serve. In
2012, the Peace Corps will change the
current process in order to reduce the
time and expense of Applicants and to
ensure that only those who accept an
invitation to serve undergo a complete
medical evaluation. However,
Applicants who have certain
particularly difficult to accommodate
conditions will be evaluated early in the
process. This will reduce the time and
expense for those Applicants who
would, even with reasonable
accommodation, not be likely to be able
to perform the essential functions of a
Peace Corps Volunteer and complete a
tour of service without undue
disruption due to health problems.
Under the new system, the Applicant
will begin the medical part of the
application process by completing a
comprehensive health history form.
After completion of the Health History
Form and after passing preliminary nonhealth-related assessments, the
Applicant will be ‘‘nominated’’ to a
program. This nomination does not
guarantee an invitation to serve, but it
does hold a place so the Applicant may
proceed with the process. After a review
by the Peace Corps pre-service medical
staff of the Health History Form and any
supplemental forms that the Applicant
may be required to submit following
nomination, the Applicant may be
medically pre-cleared. An Applicant
who is medically pre-cleared and who
accepts an invitation to serve as a Peace
Corps Volunteer undergoes a final
medical clearance. Final medical
clearance is on the basis of a complete
physical examination, as documented in
a Report of Physical Examination which
is covered by this Supporting Statement.
The information contained in the
Report of Physical Examination will be
used to make an individualized
determination as to whether an
Applicant for Volunteer service will,
with reasonable accommodation, be able
to perform the essential functions of a
Peace Corps Volunteer and complete a
tour of service without undue
disruption due to health problems.
