The PPR serves as the primary basis for ACL’s monitoring activities in fulfillment of its responsibilities under sections 706 and 722 of the Act. The PPR also enables ACL to track performance outcomes and efficiency measures of the Centers for Independent Living (CIL) programs with respect to the annual and long-term performance targets established in compliance with GPRA. The PPR is also used by ACL to design CIL and SILC training and technical assistance programs authorized by section 711A and section 721 of the Act. The proposed data collection tools may be found on the ACL website for review at https://www.acl.gov/aboutacl/public-input. Estimated Program Burden: ACL estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: 353 Centers for Independent Living will each complete one CIL PPR annually, and it will take an estimated 35 hours per CIL for an estimated total of 12,355 hours. This burden estimate is based partly on ILA’s estimates of how long CILs probably take to find the information that PPRs ask for and partly on what CILs have told the Independent Living Administration about how long filling out the PPRs took.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal 
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget

``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a 
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal 
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including

    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA 
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's 
functions, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when 
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Programs

OMB Control Number 0910-0780--Revision

    Sections 1104, 1302, 3301, 3304, 3320, 3361, 3393, and 3394 of 
Title 5 of the United States Code authorize Federal agencies to rate 
applicants for Federal jobs. The proposed information collection 
involves brief online applications completed by applicants applying to 
FDA's Fellowship and Traineeship programs. These voluntary online 
applications will allow the Agency to easily and efficiently elicit and 
review information from students and healthcare professionals who are 
interested in becoming involved in FDA-wide activities. The process 
will reduce the time and cost of submitting written documentation to 
the Agency and lessen the likelihood of applications being misrouted 
within the Agency mail system. It will assist the Agency in promoting 
and protecting the public health by encouraging outside persons to 
share their expertise with FDA.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as

\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of
  information.

    Because FDA is developing two new training programs, our estimated 
burden for the information collection reflects an overall increase of 
1,050 hours and a corresponding increase of 1,050 responses/records. We 
attribute this adjustment to an increase in the number of submissions 
that we will receive with the new training programs.
