Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 25, 2019 / Notices
qualified trust certificates and model
documents.
First, OGE proposes removing all
references to Appendices A and B of 5
CFR part 2634 because these references
are no longer applicable. The
appendices, which contained the model
Certificate of Independence and model
Certificate of Compliance (items (K) and
(L), respectively, on the table above),
were eliminated as part of recent
changes made by OGE to the Executive
Branch Financial Disclosure, Qualified
Trusts, and Certificates of Divestiture
regulation at 5 CFR part 2634. The
changes went into effect on January 1,
2019. The information previously found
in Appendix B is available on
www.oge.gov.
Second, OGE proposes removing all
references to facsimile as the best means
of communication and replacing it with
email.
Third, with regard to the model
communications (item (A) in the table
above), OGE proposes to update the
dates in the sample documents to make
them more contemporary.
Fourth, OGE proposes to add one
sentence to the Privacy Act statements
to better notify users of the
consequences of not providing the
requested information.
Fifth, OGE proposes to make a few
minor formatting corrections and to fix
a typographical error in the Privacy Act
statements.
Request for Comments: Agency and
public comment is invited specifically
on the need for and practical utility of
this information collection, the accuracy
of OGE’s burden estimate, the
enhancement of quality, utility, and
clarity of the information collected, and
the minimization of burden (including
the use of information technology).
Comments received in response to this
notice will be summarized for, and may
be included with, the OGE request for
extension of OMB approval. The
comments will also become a matter of
public record.
Approved: September 20, 2019.

Director, Office of Government Ethics.

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; and
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.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project
Data Collection for CDC Fellowship
Programs—Extension—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 one month and
consisting of primarily experiential (i.e.,
E:\FR\FM\25SEN1.SGM

50452
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 25, 2019 / Notices
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 three-year extension of
a generic clearance to collect data about
its fellowship programs, as they relate to
public health workforce development.
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 are
estimated to be 2,957. OMB approval is
requested for three years. There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time.
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.
