SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA),
as amended, authorizes the Secretary of HHS to expand benefits and
services to victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons in the
U.S. Through TVAP, grant recipients provide time-limited comprehensive
case management services to confirmed and potential victims of a severe
form of human trafficking, as defined by TVPA, as amended, who are
seeking or have received HHS certification. Case management services
must be provided to qualified persons directly by full-time case
managers that are staffed by the prime recipient and may also be
provided through a network of per capita service providers.
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).
Respondents: TVAP grant recipients and clients of those programs,
specifically: TVAP and the Aspire: Child Trafficking Victim Assistance
Demonstration Program funding recipients.
Annual Burden Estimates
Based on review of performance data received pertaining to the
number of clients served through TVAP programs and funding levels, the
total number of respondents for each form has been lowered. The time to
complete each form remains the same.
