SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 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. 
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a 
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal 
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including 
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, 
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with 
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection 
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA 
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's 
functions, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when 
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Application for Participation in FDA Fellowship Programs (Formerly 
Application for Participation in the FDA Commissioner's Fellowship 
Program)

OMB Control Number 0910-0780--Extension

    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 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.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:
