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 ``Public Health Law Fellowship (PHL
Fellowship) Program: Assessment of Quality and Value'' 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 March 23, 2023 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC received one 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
Public Health Law Fellowship (PHL Fellowship) Program: Assessment
of Quality and Value--New--National Center for STLT Public Health
Infrastructure and Workforce (NCSTLTPHIW), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The mission of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is
to enhance the health and well-being of all Americans. As part of HHS,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works to protect
America from health, safety, and security threats, both foreign and in
the U.S. CDC strives to fulfill this mission, in part, through a
competent and capable public health workforce. One mechanism to
developing the public health workforce is through training programs
like the Public Health Law Fellowship Program (PHL Fellowship).
The mission of the PHL Fellowship is to train and provide
experiential learning to current students and early career
professionals in public health law and policy. The PHL Fellowship
targets current graduate students and law students, as well as recent
graduates of graduate and law programs with a demonstrated interest in
public health law. It is the goal of this fellowship that following
participation in the program, alumni will seek employment within the
public health law system (i.e., Federal, State, Tribal, local, or
Territorial health agencies, or non-governmental organizations),
focusing on health equity and/or emergency response.
This fellowship was created pursuant to American Rescue Plan
funding to expand on the Public Health Law Program's intern/extern
program. There were no prior efforts to systematically evaluate the
intern/extern program necessitating the creation of a systematic plan
for administering, monitoring, and evaluating the PHL Fellowship.
Evaluation priorities focus on continuously learning about program
processes and activities to improve the program's quality and
documenting program outcomes to demonstrate impact and inform decision-
making about future program direction. The purpose of this data
collection is to inform these evaluation priorities through the
collection of information from host site supervisors (n=40), fellowship
participants (current cohort of fellows in a given year, n=70), and
alumni (n=70). These data collections will be instrumental in helping
CDC staff learn about these important stakeholder perspectives and will
yield results that describe quality, impact, and value. Data will also
inform program improvements such as refining the host site selection
and matching process. Collection of this information moving forward
will continue to meet these purposes and allow for longitudinal
assessment of the PHL Fellowship, giving program leaders opportunities
to see how this fellowship influences alumni career progression and
contributions to public health over time.
OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation in the PHL
Fellowship Program is voluntary but participation in data collection is
required. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden is 149 hours.
