SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening
Families Act of 2014 mandated the NAC to develop a report describing
how each state has implemented its recommendations to address sex
trafficking in children and youth. The NAC proposed to administer a
survey allowing states to assess their progress in implementing NAC
recommendations. Submissions allow states to document their efforts in
the following sections: Multidisciplinary Response, Screening and
Identification, Child Welfare, Service Provision, Housing, Law
Enforcement and Prosecution, Judiciary, Demand Reduction, Prevention,
Legislation and Regulation, Research and Data, and Funding. Each state
will have the opportunity to provide a self-assessed tier ranking for
each recommendation, a justification of their assessment, sources for
their assessment, and the public or private nature of those sources.
The survey was initially launched in March 2021 with a due date in June
2021. We are requesting an extension to allow states ample time to
collaborate and compile their responses. There are no changes proposed.
Respondents: State Governors, child welfare agencies, local law
enforcement, and other local agencies.
Annual Burden Estimates: Each state is responsible for
collaborating with governors, law enforcement agencies, prosecutors,
courts, child welfare agencies, and other local agencies and relevant
groups to provide their self-assessment of their state's implementation
efforts. The opportunity burden is calculated below, assuming five
respondents for each state:
