information has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995.

DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by March 
4, 2020.

ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are 
received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office 
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, 
Fax: 202-395-7285, or emailed to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov. All 
comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910-0780. 
Also include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of 
this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amber Sanford, Office of Operations, 
Food and Drug Administration, Three White Flint North, 10A-12M, 11601 
Landsdown St., North Bethesda, MD 20852, 301-796-8867, 
PRAStaff@fda.hhs.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

Application for Participation in FDA Fellowship and Traineeship 
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.
    In the Federal Register of October 19, 2018 (83 FR 53065), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. Although one comment was received, it wasn't 
responsive to the four collection of information topics solicited and 
therefore will not be discussed in this document.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

                               Table 1--Estimated Annual Recordkeeping Burden \1\

    Total.......................  ..............  ..............  ..............  ..............           1,300
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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, Trainee 
Program and Reagan-Udell Fellowship, our estimated burden for the 
information collection reflects an overall increase of 2 hours. FDA has 
removed the Commissioner Fellowship and Regulatory Science Internship 
Program from this information collection as the programs have been 
discontinued.

Principal Associate Commissioner for Policy.
