SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB No.: 0412–0536.

Form No.: AID 1420–62.

Title: AID Contractor Employee

Physical Examination Form.

Type of Review: Renewal of

Information Collection.

Purpose: When USAID hires

contractor personnel for overseas

assignments, the contractors are

required to obtain a physicians’s

certification that they are physically

qualified to engage in the type of

activity for which they will be

employed. Physicians who do not

regularly deal with patients going to

lesser-developed countries do not

appreciate the difficulties of providing

even the most basic medical services in

many such areas. This form requests the

minimum information needed in order

to make a determination as to whether

or not the individual should travel to

the post in question. The State

Department’s Office of Medical Services

(M/MED) reviews the form prior to

departure to insure the Mission or

Embassy medical facility can meet

special medical needs of the contractor.

Thus the need for future medical

evacuations would be reduced, since M/

MED would find most existing medical

problems that could not be dealt with

locally and the individual would then

most likely be denied approval to post.

Annual Reporting Burden:

Respondents: 3,300.

Total annual responses: 3,300.

Total annual hours requested: 13,200

hours.

Dated: June 8, 2000.
