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.
Proposed Project
CDC Fellowship Programs Assessments (OMB Control No. 0920-1163,
Exp. 03/31/2026)--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
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 number of fellowship programs. A fellowship is defined as
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 these programs are
optimized and that the public health workforce is equipped to promote
and protect the public's health.
CDC requests a three-year Revision of a Generic Clearance to
collect data about its fellowship programs. Data collections will allow
for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between CDC
fellowship programs and interest holders (e.g., fellows, supervisors/
mentors, alumni). Intended use of the resulting information is to:
<bullet> guide 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 interest holders.
CDC estimates that annually, a subset of CDC's various fellowship
programs will conduct one query each with one of the three respondent
groups: fellowship applicants or fellows; mentors, supervisors, or
employers; and alumni. These collections might include short surveys,
interviews, and focus groups.
In this Revision, CDC is revising the estimated number of responses
and the estimated burden hours. Lower than anticipated usage for the
active approval period and organizational changes at CDC support the
request to reduce these estimates. The estimated annualized number of
respondents is reduced from 3,091 to 1,225, and the estimated
annualized burden hours are reduced from 1,546 to 550. In addition, CDC
is standardizing the title of the generic as ``CDC Fellowship Programs
Assessments.'' This title is used on the GENIC Request Template
associated
[[Page 47754]]
with the Generic and has been used on previous Supporting Statement
documents. The title ``Data Collection for CDC Fellowship Programs''
has also been associated with OMB Control No. 0920-1163. For clarity
CDC will amend all documentation and consistently use the title ``CDC
Fellowship Programs Assessments.'' No other changes are required.
OMB approval is requested for three years. CDC requests OMB
approval for an estimated 550 annual burden hours. There are no costs
to respondents other than their time.
