SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA),
as amended, authorizes the HHS Secretary to expand benefits and
services to victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons in the
United States without regard to their immigration status. The TVPA also
authorizes HHS to establish and strengthen programs to assist U.S.
citizens and lawful permanent residents who have experienced sex
trafficking or severe forms of trafficking in persons (22 U.S.C.
7105(f)(1)). Acting under a delegation of authority from the Secretary
of HHS, ACF awards cooperative agreements to organizations to assist
U.S. citizens and lawful
[[Page 46600]]
permanent residents who have experienced human trafficking, the DVHT
Program. The DVHT Program includes two distinct programs: the Domestic
Victims of Human Trafficking Services and Outreach Program (DVHT-SO)
and the Victims of Human Trafficking in Native Communities
Demonstration Program (VHT-NC). Through the DVHT Program, grant
recipients provide comprehensive case management to domestic survivors
of human trafficking in traditional case management and Native
community settings.
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 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, sex, type of trafficking experienced, service
location) and services provided, along with aggregate information on
outreach activities conducted, subrecipients enrolled, and dollars
spent per service. Minor nonsubstantive updates have been made to
performance indicators under this collection to simplify response
options or to bring the collection into alignment with OTIP's grant
recipient reporting database, the Anti-Trafficking Information
Management System (ATIMS). Certain data element response options that
do not pertain to OTIP's domestic victim service programs were removed
(e.g., Refugee Cash Assistance, Refugee Medical Assistance, Refugee
Social Services) and certain data elements have been simplified for
respondent clarity.
Respondents: DVHT Program grant recipients and clients of those
programs, specifically DVHT-SO and VHT-NC funding recipients.
Annual Burden Estimates: Based on review of performance data
received pertaining to the number of clients served through DVHT
programs and funding levels, the total number of respondents for each
form has been lowered. The time to complete each form remains the same.
