SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: OTIP proposes to continue to collect information to
measure grant project performance, provide technical assistance to
grant recipients, assess program outcomes, inform program evaluation,
respond to congressional inquiries and mandated
[[Page 64054]]
reports, and inform policy and program development that is responsive
to the needs of victims.
The information collection captures information on participant
demographics (e.g., age, gender identity, race/ethnicity, country of
origin), type of trafficking experienced (sex, labor, or both), types
of services and benefits provided, along with aggregate information on
the amount of money spent on each type of service provided, outreach
activities conducted, subrecipients enrolled, and the types of
trainings provided to relevant audiences. Minor updates have been made
to performance indicators under this collection in consultation with
existing grant recipients and stakeholders, to reduce respondent
burden, strengthen client privacy and confidentiality, and to bring the
collection into alignment with program requirements under the revised
TVAP. Specifically, to reduce burden and strengthen client privacy and
confidentiality, the following TVAP client-level indicators have been
removed: Type of Intake, Date of Birth, Services Requested at Intake,
Benefits Requested at Intake, Trafficker Relationship to Victim, and
Employment Status at Case Closure. To reduce respondent burden,
additional proposed outreach and subrecipient indicators have also been
removed: Screening Tool Used During Outreach, Goal of Subrecipient
Partnership, Type of Subrecipient Partnership; Services Provided by
Subrecipient (In-House) and Services Provided by Subrecipient (by
Referral) have been collapsed into one category: Services Provided By
Subrecipient. To bring the collection into alignment with the revised
TVAP requirements, outreach-specific indicators have been added,
specifically: Number of Outreach Activities Conducted, Date of Outreach
Activity, Outreach Settings, Target Population(s), Number of Victims
Identified. The TVAP Spending Form was renamed to Categories of
Assistance and categories have been simplified to reduce reporting
burden.
Respondents: TVAP Grant Recipients and Clients of those programs,
specifically the: TVAP (HHS-2022-ACF-IOAS-OTIP-ZV-0150), Aspire: Child
Trafficking Victim Assistance Demonstration Program (HHS-2022-ACF-IOAS-
OTIP-TV-0099), Victims of Human Trafficking Services and Outreach
Program--Pacific Region Demonstration Program (VHT-SO Pacific) (HHS-
2022-ACF-IOAS-OTIP-ZV-0038) and the Lighthouse: Services, Outreach, and
Awareness for Labor Trafficking (Lighthouse) Demonstration Program
(HHS-2022-ACF-IOAS-OTIP-ZV-0059).
