The Committee provides advice and guidance to the Secretary, HHS; the Assistant Secretary for Health; and the Director, CDC, regarding the formative research, development, implementation and evaluation of evidence-based activities designed to prevent breast cancer (particularly among those at heightened risk) and promote the early detection and support of young women who develop the disease. The advice provided by the Committee will assist in ensuring scientific quality, timeliness, utility, and dissemination of credible appropriate messages and resource materials. Nominations are being sought for individuals who have expertise and qualifications necessary to contribute to the accomplishments of the committee’s objectives. The Secretary, HHS, acting through the Director, CDC, shall appoint to the advisory committee nominees with expertise in breast cancer, disease prevention, early detection, diagnosis, public health, social marketing, genetic screening and counseling, treatment, rehabilitation, palliative care, and survivorship in young women, or in related disciplines with a specific focus on young women. Members may be invited to serve for up to four years. The next cycle of selection of candidates will begin in the Fall of 2016, for selection of potential nominees to replace members whose terms will end on November 30, 2017. Selection of members is based on candidates’ qualifications to contribute to the accomplishment of ACBCYW objectives (https://www.cdc.gov/maso/ facm/facmacbcyw.html). The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services policy stipulates that Committee membership be balanced in terms of points of view represented, and the committee’s function. Appointments shall be made without discrimination on the basis of age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, HIV status, disability, and cultural, religious, or socioeconomic status. Nominees must be U.S. citizens, and cannot be full-time employees of the U.S. Government. Current participation on federal workgroups or VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:04 Aug 29, 2016 Jkt 238001 prior experience serving on a federal advisory committee does not disqualify a candidate; however, HHS policy is to avoid excessive individual service on advisory committees and multiple committee memberships. Committee members are Special Government Employees, requiring the filing of financial disclosure reports at the beginning and annually during their terms. CDC reviews potential candidates for ACBCYW membership each year, and provides a slate of nominees for consideration to the Secretary of HHS for final selection.

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-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 the public health 
workforce is equipped to promote and protect the public's health.
    CDC requests a 3-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; and
     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. There are no costs to Respondents 
other than their time.
