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 OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to

agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and

and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

Data Collection for CDC Fellowship
Programs—New—Division of Scientific
Education and Professional
Development (DSEPD), 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 number
of fellowship programs. A fellowship is
defined as a training or work experience
lasting at least 1 month and consisting
of primarily experiential (i.e., on-thejob) 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.
• 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 stakeholders.
CDC estimates that annually, 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.
The total annualized burden hours of
2,957 was determined as depicted in the
following table.
CDC requests a three-year approval 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:
• Inform planning, implementation,
and continuous quality improvement of
fellowship activities and services;
• improve efficiencies in the delivery
of fellowship activities and services;
