developers to electronically complete
and submit continuing education
proposals.
CDC requests OMB approval to
continue to (1) continue to collect
information through the TCEO New
Participant Registration form to grant
public health professionals the
continuing education they need to
maintain professional licenses and
certifications, create a transcript or
summary of training at the participant’s
request, generate management reports,
and maintain training statistics; and (2)
establish a new electronic information
collection, the TCEO Proposal that
allows CDC or CDC partner course
developers to electronically submit
training and continuing education
proposals for accreditation.
CDC’s TCEO system provides an
efficient and effective way for CDC to
comply with accreditation organization
requirements. Accreditation
organizations require a method of
tracking participants who complete an
education activity and several require
collection of profession-specific data.
Some accrediting organizations require
a permanent record that includes the
participant’s name, address, and phone
number to facilitate retrieval of
historical information about when a
participant competed a course or several
courses during a time period. These data
provide the basis for a transcript or for
determining whether a person is
enrolled in more than one course. CDC
uses the email address to verify the
participant’s electronic request for
transcripts, verify course certificates,
and send confirmation that a participant
is registered for a course. Collection of
demographic and profession-specific
data through the TCEO New Participant
Registration allows CDC to comply with
accreditation organization requirements.
The TCEO Proposal will expedite
submission, review, and accreditation
processes and provide CDC with the
information necessary to meet
accreditation organization requirements,
accredit, and effectively manage training
activities. Examples of data to be
collected for CDC to process continuing
education proposals and meet
accreditation organization requirements
includes name, email address, phone
number, and organization name.
These forms do not duplicate request
for information from participants or
course developers. Data are collected
only once per new registration or once
per course.
These information collection
instruments have provided, and will
continue to provide CDC with the
information necessary to manage and
conduct training activities pertinent to
its mission to strengthen the skills of the
current workforce through quality,
accredited, competency-based training.
The annual burden table has been
updated to reflect (1) discontinuance of
the National Laboratory Training
Network Registration form, (2) an
increase in learners seeking continuing
education, particularly through elearning activities (16,667 burden
hours), (3) the introduction of the new
TCEO Proposal (600 burden hours), for
a total 17,267 burden hours. There are
no costs to respondents.

policymakers, program operators, and
stakeholders about effective ways for
fatherhood programs to support fathers
in their parenting and employment. In
particular, partnering with programs
that serve low-income fathers to
promote responsible fatherhood, the B3
study will examine the effectiveness of
strategies used to (1) engage fathers in
program activities, (2) develop and
support parenting and co-parenting
skills, and (3) advance the employment
of disadvantaged fathers. The study will
include up to six sites and specific
interventions will vary by site.
B3 includes an impact evaluation and
a process study. The impact evaluation
will involve randomly assigning
individuals to a treatment or
comparison condition and comparing
key outcomes including employment;
earnings; child support; father/child
contact, shared activities, and
relationship quality; father’s
commitment to his child, parenting
skills, and parenting efficacy; co-

The process study will describe and
document each newly established
intervention and how it operated to
provide insight into the treatment
differentials and the context for
interpreting findings of the impact study
and highlight lessons to the field.
Data collection instruments for the B3
study include the following: (1)
Screening for program eligibility. (2)
nFORM management information
system (MIS) to record study and
participation information. (3) Baseline
and follow-up surveys for the impact
study. (4) Staff surveys and interviews,
focus groups with participants and
mothers, mobile device surveys for
participants, and post-session debrief
forms to inform the process study.
Respondents: Fathers seeking services
from one of the six Responsible
Fatherhood Programs in the B3 study
and staff members working at the B3
sites.
