and capacity building assistance to
physicians, nurses, disease intervention
specialists, and health educators. During
the previously approved three-year
period, data was collected to monitor
and evaluate the performance of the
NNTPC grantees and the NNPTC
program. This data provided the NNPTC
with necessary information to improve
program processes and operations to
improve the quality of STD prevention
and treatment.
The 4,500 respondents represent an
average of the number of health
professionals trained by PTC grantees
during 2015. This data collection is
necessary to assess and evaluate the
performance of the grantees in
delivering training and to standardize
training registration processes across the
PTCs. The NNPTC Abbreviated HPAT
allows CDC grantees to use a single

instrument when collecting
demographic data from its training and
capacity building participants, regarding
their: (1) occupations, professions, and
functional roles; (2) principal
employment settings; (3) location of
their work settings; and (4)
programmatic and population foci of
their work. The NNPTC HPAT takes
approximately three minutes to
complete. This data collection provides
CDC with information to determine
whether the training grantees are
reaching their target audiences in terms
of provider type, the types of
organizations in which participants
work, the focus of their work, and the
population groups and geographic areas
served.
The CDC’s Funding Opportunity
Announcement PS 20–2024, National
Network of Sexually Transmitted

Diseases Clinical Prevention Training
Centers (NNPTC) requires the collection
of national demographic information on
grantees’ trainees and national
evaluation outcomes. The evaluation
instruments are used to assess training
and capacity-building outcomes
(knowledge, confidence, intention to
use information, actual changes made as
a result of training) immediately after
and again 90 days after training events.
The evaluation instruments vary based
on the type of training offered and take
between approximately three minutes to
complete (for short didactic or webinar
sessions) to 10 minutes to complete (for
intensive multi-day trainings).
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time to participate. The
estimated annualized burden hours for
this data collection are 447 hours.

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 the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Data Collection for CDC Fellowship
Programs (OMB Control No. 0920–1163,

CDC fellowship programs and those
most affected by those programs (e.g.,
fellows, supervisors/mentors, alumni).
These collections might include short
surveys, interviews, and focus groups.
Intended use of the resulting
information is to:
• inform planning, implementation,
and continuous quality improvement of
fellowship activities and services;
• improve efficiencies in the delivery
of fellowship activities and services;
and
• determine to what extent fellowship
activities and services are achieving
established goals.
Collection and use of information
about CDC fellowship activities will
help ensure effective, efficient, and
satisfying experiences among fellowship
program participants and stakeholders.
CDC estimates that annually, a given
fellowship program will conduct one
query each with one of the three
respondent groups: fellowship
applicants or fellows; mentors,
supervisors, or employers; and alumni.
The total annualized burden hours of
2,957 was determined as depicted in the
following table. Burden estimates
remain unchanged in this Extension.
Although use of this Generic ICR was
lower in the last two years because of
program disruptions from the COVID–
19 pandemic, CDC expects use to return
to anticipated levels. OMB approval is
requested for three years. There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time.

Background and Brief Description
CDC’s mission is to protect America
from health, safety, and security threats,
both foreign and in the U.S. To ensure
a competent, sustainable, and
empowered public health workforce
prepared to meet these challenges, CDC
plays a key role in developing,
implementing, and managing a large
number of fellowship programs. A
fellowship is defined as a training or
work experience lasting at least one
month and consisting of primarily
experiential (i.e., on-the-job) learning, in
which the trainee has a designated
mentor or supervisor. CDC fellowships
are intended to develop public health
professionals, enhance the public health
workforce, and strengthen
collaborations with partners in public
health and healthcare organizations,
academia, and other partners in
governmental and non-governmental
organizations. Assessing fellowship
activities is essential to ensure that the
public health workforce is equipped to
promote and protect the public’s health.
CDC requests a three-year Extension
of a Generic clearance to collect data
about its fellowship programs, as they
relate to public health workforce
development. Data collections will
allow for ongoing, collaborative, and
actionable communications between
