agencies the opportunity to comment on 

a proposed and/or continuing 

information collection, as required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

This notice invites comment on a 

proposed information collection project 

titled Application for Training, which 

supports the management and 

evaluation of online training and 

professional development opportunities 

for public health and health care 

professionals. 

DATES: CDC must receive written 

comments on or before September 24,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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; 

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; and 

5. Assess information collection costs. 

Proposed Project 

Application for Training (OMB 

Control No. 0920–0017, Exp. 04/30/ 

2022)—Revision—Center for 

Surveillance, Epidemiology, and 

Laboratory Services (CSELS), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

This Information Collection Request 

(ICR) is for the Revision of a currently 

approved ICR (OMB Control No. 0920– 

0017, Expiration 4/30/2022. Approval is 

requested for three years. The mission of 

CDC’s Division of Scientific Education 

and Professional Development (DSEPD) 

is to support the development of a 

competent, sustainable, and empowered 

public health workforce. Professionals 

in public health, epidemiology, 

medicine, economics, information 

science, veterinary medicine, nursing, 

public policy, and other related 

professions seek professional 

development opportunities (both 

accredited and nonaccredited) through 

two CDC learning management systems. 

These two learning management 

systems are Training and Continuing 

Education Online (TCEO) (for 

accredited courses) and CDC TRAIN (for 

nonaccredited courses developed by 

CDC programs, grantees, and other 

funded partners). Access to quality and 

accredited learning programs and 

products through these two systems 

allow for the public health workforce to 

broaden their knowledge and skills to 

improve the science and practice of 

public health for domestic and 

international impact. 

The overarching purpose of the ICR is 

to continually improve CDC training 

activities, and maintain CDC 

compliance with mandatory 

accreditation organization standards by 

efficiently collecting information 

through CDC’s Training and Continuing 

Education Online (TCEO) and CDC 

TRAIN systems, while navigating a 

future merger that moves to using a 

single system (CDC TRAIN). 

This Revision requests to extend 

current approval of the TCEO forms, 

with one minor change, namely to add 

two new response options for one 

question on the TCEO New Participant 

Registration. This Revision also requests 

to add CDC TRAIN as a data collection 

system and add two CDC TRAIN 

standard training evaluation tools (one 

for use immediately after the course is 

taken, and one 3–6 months after the 

course is taken) that will be employed 

on the learning management system. 

This proposed change will provide CDC 

with an efficient, effective, and secure 

electronic mechanism for collecting, 

processing, and monitoring trainingrelated information. 

CDC will use information collected in 

both systems to evaluate and improve 

courses based on learner feedback. At 

this time, TCEO is also used to generate 

certificates of attendance and verify 

training completion, review and 

approve proposals for educational 

activities to receive continuing 

education accreditation, and ensure 

compliance with mandatory 

accreditation standards. 

All data will be collected online, 

using secure electronic web-based

password protected platforms. 

Respondents will include educational 

developers requesting accreditation for 

their trainings and public health and 

healthcare professionals who seek 

training. No statistical methods will be 

used to analyze the information 

collected. CDC will use identifiable 

information in TCEO to track 

participant completion of educational 

activities to facilitate required reporting 

to earn continuing education credits, 

hours, or units. Aggregate and nonaggregate data from the evaluations in 

TCEO and CDC TRAIN will be used to 

improve educational activities and 

assess learning outcomes. 

CDC requests approval for an 

estimated 412,600 annual burden hours. 

There are no costs to respondents other 

than their time.
