Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects: Trafficking Victim Assistance Program Data Collection.
Title: Trafficking Victim Assistance Program Data Collection.
OMB No.: 0970-0467.
Description: The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as amended, authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to expand benefits and services to foreign nationals in the United States who are victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons. Such benefits and services may include services to assist potential victims of trafficking (Section 107(b)(1)(B) of the TVPA, 22 U.S.C. 7105(b)(1)(B)). The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) awards cooperative agreements to organizations to provide case management services to foreign national victims of human trafficking pursuing HHS Certification and their qualified family members. The awarded organizations must provide comprehensive case management and referrals to qualified persons, either directly through its own organization or by partnering with other organizations through subcontracts or both.
Persons qualified for services under this grant are victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons who have received HHS Certification or Eligibility, potential victims of a severe form of trafficking who are actively seeking to achieve HHS Certification or Eligibility, family members with derivative T visas, and minor dependent children of foreign victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons or potential victims of trafficking.
To help measure each grant project's performance and the success of the program in assisting the target population, to assist grantees to assess and improve their projects over the course of the project period, and to fulfill instructions for a consolidated report to several committees of the House of Representatives, OTIP proposes to collect information from TVAP grantees on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, including participant demographics ( e.g., age, sex, and country of origin), types of trafficking experienced (sex, labor, or both), types of enrollment, types of services provided, types of health screening and medical services received, the names of the entities providing medical services, the amount of money expended on each type of service provided, the amount of money expended on each type of client enrollment, types of partnerships developed through the grant, and the types of training and technical assistance provided to subrecipient organizations or other partners.
[top] This information will help OTIP assess the project's performance in assisting foreign national victims of trafficking and will better enable TVAP grantees to meet the program objectives and to monitor and evaluate the quality of case management services provided by any subcontractors. OTIP will also include aggregate information in reports
