benefits. Finally, the form takes into
consideration the need to compile
information regarding a child’s
circumstances and experiences in a nondirective, child-friendly way, and assists
the requestor in assessing whether the
child may have been subjected to
trafficking in persons.
The information provided through the
completion of a Request for Assistance
for Child Victims of Human Trafficking
form will enable HHS to make prompt
determinations regarding the eligibility
of an alien child for interim assistance,
inform HHS’ determination regarding
the child’s eligibility for assistance as a
victim of a severe form of trafficking in
persons, facilitate the required
consultation process, and enable HHS to
assess potential child protection issues.
HHS proposes to make several small,
technical changes to the form, including
the elimination of an unnecessary
paragraph and updated references to the
Trafficking Victims Protection Act of
2000, as amended, to reflect changes to
that law.
Respondents: Representatives of
governmental and nongovernmental
entities providing social, legal, or
protective services to alien persons
under the age of 18 (children) in the
United States who are neither U.S.
citizens nor Lawful Permanent
Residents and who may have been
subjected to severe forms of trafficking
in persons.

Title: Objective Work Plan (OWP),
Objective Progress Report (OPR) and
Project Abstract.
OMB No.: 0970–0204.
Description: Content changes are
being proposed for the OPR and OWP
ONLY. The information in the OPR is
collected on a quarterly basis to monitor
the performance of grantees and better
gauge grantee progress. The
standardized format allows ANA to
report results across all its program
areas and flag grantees that may need
additional training and/or technical
assistance to successfully implement
their projects. The following are
proposed changes within specific
sections of the OPR form:
Objective Work Plan Update Section:
ANA has added fields for 1st through
4th Quarter (Q1,Q2,Q3,Q4) to report the
results for activities within each Project
Objective. The grantee may continue to
add to this form each quarter (rather
than to a new form), reflecting
cumulative results throughout the
project period instead of a single
quarter.
Financial Section: ANA has added 2
questions to: (1) Provide details on any
income generated as a result of ANA
project activities; 2) Provide details on
any changes made to the budget during
the reporting period.
Native American Youth and Elder
Opportunities Section: ANA has added
a question to: (1) Request details on any

intergenerational activities between
grandparents and their grandchildren.
Finally, ANA has added a new section
(last section) to the form titled:
PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY, to: (1)
Request details on the grantee’s
intention to continue the project
benefits and/or services after ANA’s
funding period for the project has
ended.
End of Changes to the OPR
The OWP: The information collected
through the OWP is needed to properly
administer and monitor the
Administration for Native Americans
(ANA) programs. The OWP assists
applicants in describing their projects’
objectives and activities, and also assists
independent panel reviewers, ANA staff
and the ANA Commissioner during
review and funding decision process.
Changes Specific Sections of the OWP
Problem Statement: ANA added a
field for applicants to include the
problem statement they identified in
their grant application.
Position Performing the Activity: On
the previous OWP, ANA requested
applicants to identify the position
responsible for each activity. ANA has
changed this title to ‘‘position
performing the activity’’ and applicants
are asked to identify the lead person in
one column and other support persons
in the second column.
End of Changes to the OWP
Project Abstract: The Project Abstract
form is no longer managed by ANA.
Respondents: Tribal Government,
Native Non-profit Organizations, Tribal
Colleges & Universities.

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)
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:
(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.
