DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Submission for OMB Review; National Human Trafficking Training
and Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC) Evaluation Package (OMB #0970-
0519)
AGENCY: Office on Trafficking in Persons; Administration for Children
and Families; Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP), Administration
for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is requesting to continue data collection with an
increased number of respondents to the previously approved information
collection, National Human Trafficking Training and Technical
Assistance Center (NHTTAC) Evaluation Package (OMB #0970-0519,
expiration 10/31/2021). This request was originally approved under
expedited review and increased the estimated burden hours from 689
hours to 9,497 hours.
In addition, the previously approved Stop, Observe, Ask, and
Respond to human trafficking (SOAR) Online Participant Feedback Form
was restructured into a long and short form to reduce burden for
information collected on SOAR Online training participants outside of
the NHTTAC learning management system. There are no changes requested
to the items on any forms.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB is required to
make a decision concerning the collection of information between 30 and
60 days after publication of this document in the Federal Register.
Therefore, a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB
receives it within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent directly to the following: Office
of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project, Email:
[email protected], Attn: Desk Officer for the Administration
for Children and Families.
Copies of the proposed collection may be obtained by emailing
[email protected]. Alternatively, copies can also be obtained
by writing to the Administration for Children and Families, Office of
Planning, Research and Evaluation, 330 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20201, Attn: ACF Reports Clearance Officer. All requests, emailed or
written, should be identified by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: These changes are requested due to the passage of the
Stop, Observe, Ask, and Respond to Health and Wellness Act of 2018
(SOAR to Health and Wellness Act of 2018) (Pub. L. 115-398), which
expands the SOAR to Health and Wellness Training Program. To meet the
provisions of the SOAR to Health and Wellness Act of 2018, OTIP's
NHTTAC had to expand the administration of SOAR nationwide.
The NHTTAC delivers training and technical assistance (T/TA) to
inform and deliver a public health response to trafficking. In applying
a public health approach, NHTTAC holistically builds the capacity of
communities to identify and respond to the complex needs of all
individuals who have been trafficked, and addresses the root causes
that put individuals, families, and communities at risk of trafficking.
This will ultimately help improve the availability and delivery of
coordinated and trauma-informed services before, during, and after an
individual's trafficking exploitation, regardless of their age, gender,
nationality, sexual orientation, or type of exploitation. NHTTAC hosts
a variety of services, programs, and facilitated sessions to improve
service provision to individuals who have been trafficked, or who are
at risk of trafficking, including the Human Trafficking Leadership
Academy (HTLA); the Survivor Fellowship Program; the NHTTAC Call
Center; both short-term and specialized T/TA requests (requests that
take less than 3 hours or 3 or more hours to fulfill, respectively);
OTIP-funded grantees; and information through NHTTAC's website,
resources, and materials about trafficking.
Respondents: Individuals and organizations such as NHTTAC
consultants, T/TA participants, HTLA program participants, Survivor
fellows, OTIP grantees, visitors to the NHTTAC website, NHTTAC-
supported conference and meeting attendees, members of the National
Advisory Council, and scholarship applicants.
Annual Burden Estimates
