Abstract of Proposed Collection

    Forms DS-1843 and DS-1622 collect medical history, lab tests and 
physical examination for employees and family members for the Foreign 
Affairs agencies, to include State, USAID, Foreign Commercial Service, 
Foreign Agricultural Service and Broadcasting Board of Governors. Forms 
DS-1843 and DS-1622 are designed to collect sufficient and current 
medical information on the individual in order for a medical provider 
to make a medical clearance determination for initial appointment to 
the Foreign Service. They are also used to determine whether a Foreign 
Service applicant, employee, or eligible family member will have 
appropriate medical and/or educational resources at a diplomatic 
mission/host country abroad to maintain the health and safety of the 
individual or family member.

Methodology

    The information will be collected through the use of an electronic 
forms engine or by hand written submission using a pre-printed form.

Director of Clinical Services, Bureau of Medical Services, Department 
of State.
