Abstract:
Forms for this collection are completed by panel physicians for refugees and aliens seeking immigrant visas to the U.S. The collection records medical information necessary to determine whether refugees or immigrant visa applicants have medical conditions affecting the public health and requiring treatment.
Emergency Justfication:
A final rule was published by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the Federal Register on November 2, 2009 that amends HHS regulations to remove the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) from the definition of communicable disease of public health significance and to remove references to HIV from medical examinations for aliens. In order to comply with this rule, effective January 4, 2010, the Department must make available to panel physicians conducting medical exams for visa applicants revised medical exam forms.
