FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FDA PRA Staff, Office of Operations, 
Food and Drug Administration, 8455 Colesville Rd., COLE-14526, Silver 
Spring, MD 20993-0002, 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 the FDA Commissioner's Fellowship 
Program; (OMB Control Number 0910--New)

    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. Collecting applications for the 
Commissioner's Fellowship Program will allow FDA's Office of the 
Commissioner to easily and efficiently elicit and review information 
from students and health care 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 August 4, 2014 (79 FR 45196), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. Although one comment was received, it was 
not 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:

received concerning the program and the number of requests for 
application forms over the past 5 years.
