The collection is the continuation of information collected and

administering the Exchange Visitor Program (J-NONIMMIGRANT) under the
provisions of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961,
as amended. Training/Internship Placement Plans are to be completed by
designated program sponsors. A Training/Internship Placement Plan is
required for each trainee or intern participant. It will set forth the
training or internship program to be followed, methods of supervision,
the skills the trainee or intern will obtain, and trainee or intern
remuneration. The plan must be signed by the trainee or intern,
sponsor, and the third-party placement organization, if a third-party
organization is used in the conduct of the training or internship. Upon
request, trainees or interns must present a fully executed Training/
Internship Placement Plan on Form DS-7002 to any Consular Official
interviewing them in connection with the issuance of J-1 visas.
