submission of responses.
Overview of this information collection:
1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of Existing Collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Office for Victims of Crime
Training and Technical Assistance Center- Trafficking Information
Management System (TIMS).
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: NA. The applicable component
within the Department of Justice is the Office for Victims of Crime, in
the Office of Justice Programs.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract:
Primary: OVC Grantees.
Abstract: The current package for OMB approval is designed to
simplify performance reporting for OVC grantees through the OVC
Trafficking Information Management System (TIMS) Online system, a Web-
based database and reporting system for the Victims of Human
Trafficking Grant and the Enhanced Collaborative Model Grant
initiatives. OVC will require OVC Grantees to use this electronic tool
to submit grant performance data, including demographics about human
trafficking victims. Since 2012, OVC has published annual analyses of
these data to provide the crime victims' field with stronger evidence
for practices and programs.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: There are
approximately 60 OVC Services to Victims of Human Trafficking Grantees
per six-month reporting period. On average, it should take each grantee
one hour to seven hours, depending on client case load per reporting
period, to enter information into TIMS Online. There are two reporting
periods per year.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: 480 hours (average 60 OVC grantees * average 4
hours * 2 times per year).
