Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects: Conduct an
electronic survey of 2012-funded Family
Connection grantees to collect process
evaluation data to include as part of the
Cross-Site Evaluation.
Title: Cross-site Evaluation Survey
2012 Family Connection Grantees.
OMB No.: New.
Description: In the interest of
providing as complete an evaluation
report as possible by the end of FY15,
the Children’s Bureau has directed the
contractor conducting the Cross-site
Evaluation to adopt the most efficient
means possible to collect process
evaluation data from grantees. The
proposed electronic survey will replace
originally planned in-person and
telephone discussions with electronic
surveys. This will enable collection of
key information on project design,
implementation, maintenance, and
sustainability from key grantee
representatives in an abbreviated
amount of time. The quantitative nature
of the surveys will enable rapid data
analysis and reporting.
Respondents: The Cross-site
Evaluation addresses a total of
seventeen (17) Family Connection
grantees. Four categories of participants
will be surveyed: Project Leadership,
Service Providers, Project Partners
(public child welfare and community
agencies), and Evaluators. For each
grantee, an average of 20 respondents is
anticipated: 4 project leadership, 9
service providers, 2 public child welfare
agency representatives, 2 community
partner representatives, and 3
evaluators. These numbers of
participants, per category, are used in
the table below to calculate the number
of respondents, across the 17 projects to
be surveyed. Differences in burden
estimates for the different instruments
reflect the number of questions in each.

Submission for OMB Review;

Title: Request for Assistance for Child
Victims of Human Trafficking.
OMB No.: 0970–0362.
Description: The William Wilberforce
Trafficking Victims Protection
Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) of 2008,
Public Law 110–457, directs the U.S.
Secretary of Health and Human Services
(HHS), upon receipt of credible
information that an alien child may
have been subjected to a severe form of
trafficking in persons and is seeking
Federal assistance available to victims
of trafficking, to promptly determine if
the child is eligible for interim
assistance. The law further directs the
Secretary of HHS to determine if a child

receiving interim assistance is eligible
for assistance as a victim of a severe
form of trafficking in persons after
consultation with the Attorney General,
the Secretary of Homeland Security, and
nongovernmental organizations with
expertise on victims of severe form of
trafficking.
In developing procedures for
collecting the necessary information
from potential child victims of
trafficking, their case managers,
attorneys, or other representatives to
allow HHS to grant interim eligibility,
HHS devised a form. HHS has
determined that the use of a standard
form to collect information is the best
way to ensure requestors are notified of
their option to request assistance for
child victims of trafficking and to make
prompt and consistent determinations
about the child’s eligibility for
assistance.
Specifically, the form asks the
requestor for his/her identifying
information, for information on the
child, information describing the type of
trafficking and circumstances
surrounding the situation, and the
strengths and needs of the child. The
form also asks the requestor to verify the
information contained in the form
because the information could be the
basis for a determination of an alien
child’s eligibility for federally funded
