SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 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.
``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
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
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
[[Page 9203]]
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.
Outcomes Evaluation Survey for Graduates of the FDA Commissioner's
Fellowship Program (OMB Control Number 0910-NEW)
Collecting outcomes information from the CFP graduates will allow
FDA's Office of the Commissioner to easily and efficiently elicit and
review information from the CFP graduates needed to collect program
feedback. The process will reduce the time and cost of submitting
written documentation to the Agency and lessen the likelihood of
surveys 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 experience with the FDA while a
Commissioner's Fellow.
FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

graduated and left the Agency over the past 5 years.
