Survey of Alumni Commissioner's Fellowship Program Fellows--OMB Control 
Number 0910-NEW

    FDA is requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
to gather information from Alumni Commissioner's Fellowship Program 
(CFP) Fellows. The information from Alumni CFP Fellows will allow FDA's 
Office of the Commissioner (OC) to easily and efficiently elicit and 
review program feedback. The online survey 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. 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. The information gathered by 
the survey will be used to gain insights into, and to document, impacts 
that the CFP has had and is having on former CFP fellows and 
contributions and impacts that the former fellows are making in their 
current work. The surveys include questions to assess the following 
measures: Post-fellowship employment (e.g., employment type); number of 
awards; number of contributions while a CFP fellow (e.g., number of 
publications, guidances authored or co-authored); and contributions in 
their field (e.g., list of publications).
    In the Federal Register of February 24, 2016 (81 FR 9202), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
