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 OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Proposed Project

    Data Management for Executive and Scientific Resources Access 
Management Tracking System--New--Executive and Scientific Resource 
Office (ESRO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    ESRO seeks to submit and information collection request for 
approval of information collections through its ESRO Access Management 
Tracking System (EAMTS). This system will automate current manual 
processes for programs managed by ESRO. This new process will provide 
users a single, integrated location to allow for collaboration, faster 
processing between the programs and ESRO and a better onboarding 
experience for potential fellows.
    EAMTS will support users by providing a single, integrated location 
for enterprise content management, manage documents and records by 
using workflows an information rights management. This business process 
will allow ESRO to design forms that are accessible in SharePoint 
through a Web Browser. Team members will be able to access critical 
business information, analyze and view data, and publish reports to 
make more informed decisions.
    EAMTS will allow CIO's to submit digital packets including Guest 
Researcher, ORISE, Title 42 Fellowship Visa request (portion of CDC 
0.1475) and Appointment Mechanism Determination Request Form (CDC 
0.4601). CIO's can upload supplemental documentation as an attachment 
to each application, electronically track and monitor status of 
application, digitally sign forms and requests, receive case 
determinations quickly and accurately, and track the Visa status of 
Title 42 Fellowship requests that require Visa assistance from the 
Human Resources Office.
    EAMTS is developed in SharePoint for CDC's Centers/Institutes/
Offices (CIO) to submit required information for all of Executive and 
Scientific Resource Office's managed programs and for these CIO's to 
effectively and efficiently digitally review this information. Data is 
managed and maintained by appropriate CIO Staff with ground and form 
level permission.
    Permissions to EAMTS are required to access the lists, forms, and 
document library. This includes entering data,

clearing/approving forms, processing forms, and acknowledging data 
entered.
    The total estimated annualized burden hours for all respondents are 
1,280. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. CDC 
will seek a three-year approval from OMB.
