DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by January

ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are 
received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office 
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, 
Fax: 202-395-7285, or emailed to [email protected]. All

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amber Sanford, Office of Operations, 
Food and Drug Administration, Three White Flint North, 10A-12M, 11601 
Landsdown St., North Bethesda, MD 20852, 301-796-8867, 
[email protected].

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 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.
    In the Federal Register of June 20, 2017 (82 FR 28075), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed 
collection of information. Although one comment was received, it wasn't 
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:
