    Abstract of proposed collection:
    The goal of the ``Employee Self Certification And Ability To 
Perform In Emergencies'' (ESCAPE) program is to ensure that non-federal 
individuals who are being considered for a contracted position at a 
designated post are capable of the unique, potentially challenging and 
life threatening conditions at ESCAPE posts. These individuals are 
required to review with a medical provider the pre-deployment 
acknowledgement form (DS-6570) and then affirm that they understand the 
physical rigors and security conditions at these posts and can perform 
any specified emergency functions. Medical information is collected 
from medical providers and respondents during this review. The 
Department of State is requesting an emergency review and approval of 
this Information Collection so non-federal individuals who will be 
selected for assignments in June, 2016 can provide completed pre-
deployment medical information. This Collection is allowed under the 
Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3901) and the Basic Authorities 
Act of 1956 (22 U.S.C. 2651).
    Methodology:
    Information will be collected using a form (DS-6570) during a 
medical review between a non-federal individual and his/her medical 
provider. The individual will submit the completed form, signed by both 
the individual and provider, to the Office of Medical Services at the 
U.S. Department of State.

    Dated: May 4, 2016.
