SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we 
provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an 
opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps us assess the impact of our 
information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting 
burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection 
requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
January 18, 2024 (89 FR 3414). Two comments were received but neither 
comment addressed the information collection. No action was taken.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other 
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are 
especially interested in public comment addressing the following:
    (1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether or not the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this 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) How might the agency 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 submission of response.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. Before including your address, phone number, email 
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you 
should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal 
identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time. 
While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so.
    Abstract: DOI Talent is the Department of the Interior's (DOI) 
shared services system to maintain and validate training records, 
manage class rosters and transcripts for course administrators and the 
student or learner, meet Federal mandatory training and statistical 
reporting requirements, and manage other programmatic functions related 
to training and educational programs.
    DOI collects personal information from students in order to

registration and delivery, validate training records necessary for 
certification or granting of college credit, process billing 
information for training classes, and to meet Federal training 
reporting requirements. Information may also be collected to comply 
with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements to address 
facilities accommodations. Training and learning records are maintained 
in DOI's web-based learning management system, and bureau and office 
systems and locations where training programs are managed. DOI bureaus 
offer training programs which extend to external customers; such as 
universities, State governments, local governments, not-for-profit 
organizations, and in some cases, private citizens.
    Each year approximately 3,000 external users request to register 
for training offered by DOI bureau's and offices through DOI Talent. 
Each registration will require approximately 5 minutes. DOI Talent:
     Creates an authoritative system of record for all training 
completions;
     Offers a more flexible approach for external training 
requests and documentation;
     Creates a learning environment that encourages engagement 
on multiple levels;
     Enhances training delivery options; and
     Creates opportunities to offer world-class instruction and 
to engage directly with learners through discussion forums and 
communities of practice.
