Collection of Conflict of Interest Information for Participation in Food and Drug Administration Non-Employee Fellowship and Traineeship Programs OMB Control Number 0910-NEW In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA will submit to the Office of Management and Budget a request to review and approve a new collection of information: “Collection of Conflict of Interest Information for Participation in FDA Non-Employee Fellowship and Traineeship Programs.” Section 742
(b)of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379l) allows FDA to conduct and support intramural training programs through fellowship and traineeship programs. These new forms provide the FDA with information about financial investments and relationships from non-employee scientists who participate in FDA fellowship and traineeship programs. Participants in FDA fellowship and traineeship programs will be asked for certain information about financial interests and current relationships:
(1)Description of the financial interest;
(2)the type of financial interest ( *e.g.* stocks, bonds, stock options);
(3)if the financial interest is an employee benefit from prior employment;
(4)value of financial interest;
(5)who owns the financial interest ( *e.g.* self, spouse, minor children);
(6)employment relationship with an FDA significantly regulated organization (SRO);
(7)and service as a consultant to an FDA SRO, and/or proprietary interest(s) in one of more product(s) regulated by FDA, including patent, trademark, copyright, or licensing agreement. The purpose of the financial information is for FDA to determine if there is a conflict of interest between the Fellow's or Trainee's financial and relationship interests and their activities at FDA. The collection of information is mandatory to participate in FDA's fellowship and traineeship programs. In the **Federal Register** of October 22, 2018 (83 FR 53257), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed collection of information. Although two comments were received, they were not responsive to the four collection of information topics solicited. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: Table 1—Estimated Annual Reporting Burden 1 Activity No. of respondents No. of responses per respondent Total annual responses Average burden per response Total hours Collection Form—Report of Financial Interests and Other Relationships for Non-Employee Scientists at FDA Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education Fellowship 500 1 500 1 500 Traineeship Program 500 1 500 1 500 Reagan-Udall Fellowship at FDA 50 1 50 1 50 Total 1050 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information Dated: October 2, 2019.
