Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on a continuing
information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed information collection
project titled Application for Training. CDC collects information from
the developers of training courses, and learners who participate in
them, to support the development, administration and evaluation of
high-quality educational courses.
DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before August 15, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a
proposed data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
4. 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
submissions of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.

Background and Brief Description
The mission of CDC's Division of Workforce Development (DWD) is to
provide leadership in public health training and education by
supporting innovative, evidence-based programs that prepare the health
workforce to meet the public health challenges of the 21st century. CDC
offers training and professional development opportunities (both
accredited and non-accredited) in the areas of public health,
epidemiology, medicine, economics, information science, veterinary
medicine, nursing, public policy, and other related fields.
To administer its broad portfolio of training activities, CDC
collects information from the developers of educational content and the
learners who participate in professional training opportunities.
Information has been collected through two electronic platforms: the
CDC TRAIN learning management system and the Training and Continuing
Education Online (TCEO) learning management system. These systems
collected similar data, with some variability. CDC's previous request
for OMB approval outlined a multi-year plan to decommission the TCEO
platform and transition all information collection to the CDC TRAIN
platform under a unified data collection and evaluation framework for
all CDC course offerings.
This Revision requests removal of data collection instruments
relating to the TCEO learning management system, which has been
discontinued as of January 2025. During the next OMB approval period,
CDC plans to collect all data online using the secure, password-
protected CDC TRAIN platform. This Revision also consolidates
accredited and nonaccredited training evaluation tools into one modular
post-course evaluation (taken immediately after a course is completed),
and one follow-up evaluation (taken one month after the course is
completed). Respondents will include educational developers requesting
accreditation for their trainings and public health and healthcare
professionals who seek training. CDC will use identifiable information
in CDC TRAIN to track participant completion of educational activities
and facilitate required reporting for learners to earn continuing
education credits, hours, or units. The Revision request includes
updated estimates for the number of respondents, burden per response,
frequency of information collection, and total burden hours. The
proposed changes will reduce burden, streamline data collection efforts
and provide CDC with a more effective, efficient, and secure mechanism
for collecting, processing, and monitoring training-related
information. CDC will use information collected in CDC TRAIN to
evaluate and improve courses based on learner feedback. For accredited
trainings, this information will also be used to generate certificates
of attendance and verify training completion, review and approve
proposals for educational activities to receive continuing education
accreditation, and ensure compliance with mandatory accreditation
standards. Aggregate data from the evaluations in CDC TRAIN will be
used to improve educational activities and assess learning outcomes.
OMB approval is requested for three years. The total estimated
annualized burden will decrease from 288,150 hours to 127,650 hours.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
