Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``CDC Fellowship Programs Assessments'' to
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC
previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public
Comment and Recommendations'' notice on August 22, 2022, to obtain
comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC received one non-
substantive comment related to the previous notice. This notice serves
to allow an additional 30 days for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies' estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
Data Collection for CDC Fellowship Programs (OMB Control No. 0920-
1163, Exp. 3/31/2023)--Extension--Center for Surveillance,
Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services (CSELS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC's mission is to protect America from health, safety, and
security threats, both foreign and in the U.S. To ensure a competent,
sustainable, and empowered public health workforce prepared to meet
these challenges, CDC plays a key role in developing, implementing, and
managing a large number of fellowship programs. A fellowship is defined
as a training or work experience lasting at least one month and
consisting of primarily experiential (i.e., on-the-job) learning, in
which the trainee has a designated mentor or supervisor. CDC
fellowships are intended to develop public health professionals,
enhance the public health workforce, and strengthen collaborations with
partners in public health and healthcare organizations, academia, and
other stakeholders in governmental and non-governmental organizations.
Assessing fellowship activities is essential to ensure that the public
health workforce is equipped to promote and protect the public's
health.
CDC requests a three-year extension of a Generic Clearance to
collect data about its fellowship programs, as they relate to public
health workforce development. Data collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative, and actionable communications between CDC fellowship
programs and stakeholders (e.g., fellows, supervisors/mentors, alumni).
These collections might include short surveys, interviews, and focus
groups. Intended use of the resulting information is to:
<bullet> inform planning, implementation, and continuous quality
improvement of fellowship activities and services;
<bullet> improve efficiencies in the delivery of fellowship
activities and services; and
<bullet> determine to what extent fellowship activities and
services are achieving established goals.
Collection and use of information about CDC fellowship activities
will help ensure effective, efficient, and satisfying experiences among
fellowship program participants and partners.
This Extension ICR contains a change in burden estimate from the
previously approved package. This change is the result of a review and
evaluation of CDC programming and fellowship needs. CDC estimates that
annually, approximately one quarter of all CDC fellowships (23 of 91)
will conduct a GenIC under this umbrella. This estimate reflects the
usage rate for CFPA in its most recent approval period. Burden
estimates assume that a given fellowship program will conduct one query
each with one of the three respondent groups: fellowship applicants or
fellows; mentors, supervisors, or employers; and alumni.
OMB approval is requested for three years. CDC requests OMB
approval for an estimated 1,546 annual burden hours. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.
