GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF COLLECTION: Durable Medical Equipment (DME) is any
equipment that provides therapeutic benefits to a patient in need because of certain medical
conditions and/or illness. They consist of items that are primarily and customarily used to serve a
medical purpose; are not useful to a person in the absence of illness or injury; are ordered or
prescribed by a physician; are reusable; can stand repeated use, and are appropriate for use in the
home. Other devices covered in this guidance include prosthetic equipment (cardiac
pacemakers), hearing aids, orthotic items (artificial devices such as braces and splints), and
prostheses (artificial body parts). The information collected will assist in the determination of
Peace Corps eligibility. If eligible, it will assist with ongoing care during service. All applicants
to the Peace Corps must have a medical clearance that will determine their ability to serve in a
particular country.
REQUEST FOR COMMENT: Peace Corps invites comments on whether the proposed
collections of information are necessary for proper performance of the functions of the Peace
Corps, including whether the information will have practical use; the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
information to be collected; and, ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.
