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 ``Application for Training'' 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 June 16, 2025 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive comments 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
Application for Training (OMB Control No. 0920-0017, Exp. 9/30/
2025)--Revision--National Center for State, Tribal, Local, and
Territorial Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce (NCSTLTPHIW),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The mission of CDC's Division of Workforce Development (DWD) is to
provide leadership in public health training and education, and manage
innovative, evidence-based programs to prepare the health workforce to
meet 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. CDC's previous
request for OMB approval outlined a multi-year plan to decommission the
TCEO platform and transition all learner 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 2024. During the next OMB approval period,
CDC plans to collect all learner 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
to facilitate required reporting 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,
participation is required to review and approve proposals for
educational activities to receive continuing education accreditation,
to generate learner certificates of attendance and verify training
completion, and to ensure compliance with mandatory accreditation
standards. Participation in evaluation data collection for non-
accredited trainings is voluntary. 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
based on response rates and totals from the previous approval period.
There are no costs to respondents other than their time.
