SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all 
information collections require approval under the PRA. We may not

of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on 
new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This 
helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements 
and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public 
understand our information collection requirements and provide the 
requested data in the desired format.
    We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following:
    (1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether or not the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this 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) How might the agency 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 submission of 
response.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone 
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available 
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your 
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Abstract: DOI Talent is the Department of the Interior's (DOI) 
shared services system to maintain and validate training records, 
manage class rosters and transcripts for course administrators and the 
student or learner, meet Federal mandatory training and statistical 
reporting requirements, and manage other programmatic functions related 
to training and educational programs.
    DOI collects personal information from students in order to 
communicate training opportunities, manage course registration and 
delivery, validate training records necessary for certification or 
granting of college credit, process billing information for training 
classes, and to meet Federal training reporting requirements. 
Information may also be collected to comply with the Americans with 
Disabilities Act requirements to address facilities accommodations. 
Training and learning records are maintained in DOI's web-based 
learning management system, and bureau and office systems and locations 
where training programs are managed. DOI bureaus offer training 
programs which extend to external customers; such as universities, 
State governments, local governments, not-for-profit organizations, and 
in some cases, private citizens.
    Each year approximately 3,000 external users request to register 
for training offered by DOI bureau's and offices through DOI Talent. 
Each registration will require approximately 5 minutes. DOI Talent:
     Creates an authoritative system of record for all training 
completions;
     Offers a more flexible approach for external training 
requests and documentation;
     Creates a learning environment that encourages engagement 
on multiple levels;
     Enhances training delivery options; and
     Creates opportunities to offer world-class instruction and 
to engage directly with learners through discussion forums and 
communities of practice.
    Title of Collection: DOI Talent Registration.
    OMB Control Number: 1093-0011.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Contractors, students, volunteers, 
partners, State and local employees, and Federal employees from 
agencies outside DOI.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 3,800.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 3,800.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 5 minutes per response.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 317 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: One time.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required

    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
