The ED Exchange Visitor Waiver Review
Board makes recommendations to the Justice Department through the
U.S. Information Agency (USIA) for waiver of the 2-year foreign
residency requirement for exchange visitors who have been granted
J-1 visas. This application will be used by educational or
rehabilitative institutions or organizations that apply to the
Department of Education to request a recommendation for a waiver on
behalf of an exchange visitor. As a result of the regulation
reinvention efforts, the Federal regulations governing this process
were eliminated October 1, 1996.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
