from the pilot and accounts for the
burden involving all of the participants.
From September 28, 2009, through
March 31, 2010, 79 sentinel worksites
representing 16 different employers
participated in the pilot study. Each
week, ACOEM collected reports of
aggregated absenteeism data from the
medical directors of the participating
companies using an emailed,
standardized form. ACOEM replaced
company names with coded unique
identifiers, and sent the aggregated data
to CDC/NIOSH for analysis.
The major strengths of the sentinel
worksite approach to absenteeism
surveillance were the use of existing,
routinely collected data and timeliness.
The use of existing, routinely collected
data made the burden on participating
companies negligible. Data were
routinely compiled and thus could be
collected and analyzed in near real time,
making this approach useful, in
principle, for providing current
situational awareness and actionable
intelligence that could be used to
inform, prioritize, and evaluate
intervention efforts during the
pandemic. On the other hand, there
were several limitations to the sentinel
their daily absenteeism numbers into an
Excel file which can be emailed to
ACOEM on a weekly or monthly basis.
The Excel file will be pre-populated
with company name, site and dates to
ease the reporting burden on companies.
ACOEM will transmit de-identified
information on a weekly or monthly
basis to NIOSH/CDC who will in turn
conduct analysis on an aggregate basis.
Data will be compiled by state and
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) region, as well as
nationally to allow for trend analysis.
The initial 16 respondents in the
2009/10 study will be asked to
participate and an additional 12
companies have indicated an interest in
participating in the data collection
activity. The employee population
among these 28 companies is
approximately 293,000.
The annualized estimated burden of
time is 607 hours for the 28 respondents
in the study. Respondents will complete
the form daily; no more than 5 minutes
per day/per respondent. This results in
an annualized burden of 607 hours per
year.
There are no costs to participants
other than the time.
worksite surveillance done in 2009–
2010, and the activity was not
maintained after the H1N1 pandemic
ended.
At present, two new emerging
infectious diseases, novel H7N9
influenza virus and a coronavirus
circulating in the Middle East, have
demonstrated the need to build
additional capacity for national
surveillance for health-related
workplace absenteeism so that it can be
used to monitor the impact of these or
any other disease that might reach
pandemic potential and spread to the
U.S.
NIOSH/CDC requests permission to
collect company absenteeism data, to be
able to assess the impact of disease on
a company and to identify trends in the
spread of influenza or other novel
disease states. This will provide an
additional monitoring system to CDC.
The proposed project builds on the
2009/10 initiative and modifies the
reporting format to collect information
on a daily versus weekly basis.
The companies in the program will be
those that routinely collect absenteeism
data thus the burden will be minimal.
We will be asking companies to record

Title: Rescue & Restore Regional
Program Project Data.
OMB No.: 0970—NEW.
Description: The Trafficking Victims
Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as
amended, authorizes the Secretary of
Health and Human Services (Secretary)
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
to expand benefits and services to
victims of severe forms of trafficking in
persons in the United States, without
regard to the immigration status of such
victims. Such benefits and services may
include services to assist potential
victims of trafficking in achieving
certification (Section 107(b)(1)(B) of the
TVPA, 22 U.S.C. 7105(b)(1)(B)). It also
authorizes the President, acting through
the Secretary and the heads of other
Federal departments, to establish and
carry out programs to increase public
awareness, particularly among potential
victims of trafficking, of the dangers of
trafficking and the protections that are
available for victims of trafficking
(Section 106(b) of the TVPA, 22 U.S.C.
7104(b)).
The Secretary delegated authority to
carry out these responsibilities to the
Assistant Secretary for Children and
Families who further delegated the

authority to the Director of the Office of
Refugee Resettlement (ORR).
The intent of the Rescue & Restore
Victims of Human Trafficking
campaign, launched in 2004, is to
increase the identification of trafficking
victims in the United States and to help
those victims receive the benefits and
services they need to restore their lives.
The purpose of the Rescue & Restore
Victims of Trafficking Regional Program
(Rescue & Restore Program) is to
increase the identification and
protection of foreign victims of human
trafficking in the United States and to
promote local capacity to prevent
human trafficking and protect human
trafficking victims. The Rescue &
Restore Program also seeks to remove
barriers to prevention and protection
specific to foreign human trafficking
victims who live in the United States.
The Rescue & Restore Program has the
following objectives:

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 142 / Thursday, July 24, 2014 / Notices
(1) Identification and Referral of
Foreign Victims of Human Trafficking:
To identify foreign victims of trafficking
and refer them to service delivery
systems.
(2) Training and Technical
Assistance: To build local capacity by
providing training and technical
assistance on human trafficking to local
organizations not involved in a local
coalition.
(3) Coalition Building: To lead or
actively participate in a community-led
effort to bring together and leverage
local resources to address human
trafficking in a region, such as a Rescue
& Restore Coalition or law enforcement
task force (‘‘coalition’’).
(4) Public Awareness: To promote the
public’s awareness of human trafficking
by educating the public about the
dangers of human trafficking, possible
indicators of sex and labor trafficking,
and the protections available to victims.
To measure each grant project’s
performance progress and the success of
the program, and to assist grantees to
assess and improve their projects over
the course of the project period, ACF
proposes to require grantees to input
numbers for each numeric indicator and
other information for qualitative
indicators into a spreadsheet during the
36-month project period.
ACF proposes to collect data for the
following indicators:
Identification and Referral of Foreign
Victims of Human Trafficking
• The number of outreach events
conducted by the grantee;
• The number of people reached at
outreach events;
• The number of potential male and
female, adult and minor foreign human
trafficking victims identified through
Rescue & Restore project efforts;
• The number of potential male and
female, adult and minor foreign human
trafficking victims referred by the
grantee to service providers; and
• The number of male and female,
adult and minor foreign human
trafficking victims who receive
Certification, Eligibility, and/or Interim
Assistance Letters as a result of the
grantee’s efforts.
Training and Technical Assistance
• The number of persons in social
service agencies, law enforcement
agencies, and other relevant
professional, community-based, and
faith-based organizations who were
trained by the grantee;
• The number of persons whose
knowledge of human trafficking
measurably increased as a result of
grantee training as evidenced by the use
of established practices in assessing
learning; and
• The number of social service, law
enforcement, health, legal, education, or
other professionals provided technical
assistance on identifying human
trafficking victims and referring them
for services or to law enforcement.
Coalition Building
• The number and percentage of
coalition meetings led or attended by
the grantee; and
• The number of coalition meetings
in which the applicant proposed or
promoted new or more efficient ways to
combat human trafficking, improve
coalition effectiveness, or assist
trafficking victims in the targeted
geographic location.
Public Awareness
• The number of people,
distinguished by professional,
occupational, community, or
demographic sector, reached during
strategic public awareness activities
conducted by the grantee; and
• The number of people who reported
knowledge of human trafficking
information that was distributed as a
result of the applicant’s public
awareness efforts.
In addition, ACF proposes to collect
information on the victims and potential
victims of trafficking (victims) identified
as a result of each project’s activities.
ACF will not collect information about
U.S. citizens or Lawful Permanent
Residents. ORR will aggregate this
information to include in reports to
Congress, which are available to the
public, to help inform strategies and
policies to prevent trafficking in persons
and to protect victims. This information
will also help ORR assess the project’s
performance in identifying victims and
referring them for services.
ORR proposes to collect the following
information, if available, for each victim
reached by a grant recipient or any
partner organizations:
• Type of Trafficking (Labor, Sex,
Labor and Sex, Unknown);
• Client Identifier (e.g., Initials, Date
of Birth, and Country of Origin);
• Client information (Sex, Adult/
Minor);
• Description of trafficking situation;
• Date that organization made contact
with the victim began establishing trust
and/or screened the person for victim
status;
• Date that grantee positively
identified person as a victim of a severe
form of trafficking in persons;
• Documentation from the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) about the time of temporary
status the victim is pursuing (e.g.,
Continued Presence, T Visa, U Visa,
SIJS);
• Name of service agency assisting
the victim;
• Date of HHS Certification or
Eligibility; and
• Date the agency or victim
terminated contact, with space for
explanation.
