Download as PDF 31383 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 105 / Tuesday, June 2, 2015 / Notices participating in three focus groups (in the form of safety circle workgroup meetings) that will take approximately 60 minutes. The 60 minutes includes a 30 minute discussion and the completion of a focus group worksheet and at one point, a dust control worksheet. The focus groups will debrief general CPDM data so participants can dialogue about ways to lower their exposure levels. In addition, workers will be asked to complete a pre and post survey (∼15 minutes). It also is estimated that a sample of up to nine mine site leaders will participate in the form of interviews/focus groups about HSMS practices at the same mining operations which have agreed to participate, and complete a dust assessment form. The interviews/focus groups also will occur two to three times during each of the NIOSH field visits and will take no more than 45 minutes each. All participants will be between the ages of 18 and 75, currently employed, and living in the United States. Participation will require no more than 3 hours of workers’ time over the six-week intervention and no more than 2.5 hours of site leaders’ time over the six-week intervention period. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total burden in time is an estimated 64 burden hours.

The supplemental funding will ensure that clients’ essential needs, such as housing, transportation, communication, food, and medical care, will be met. The supplemental funding will also ensure that USCRI has sufficient staff for the increased number of cases. SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The period of support under these supplements is June 01, 2015 through September 29, 2015.

Email: maggie.wynne@ acf.hhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Human Trafficking Victim Assistance Program (NHTVAP) provides funding for comprehensive case management services to victims of trafficking and certain family members on a per capita basis. The NHTVAP grantees help clients gain access to housing, employability services, mental health screening and therapy, medical care, and some legal services. During FY 2015, a grantee, U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI), served more clients than it had planned for in its budget for the year. Without the additional funding, USCRI would have to make significant cuts in services to current clients and limit the enrollment of new clients. Also, without additional funding USCRI would not have sufficient programmatic support for the increase in client enrollments. With the supplemental funding, USCRI will be able to ensure that all of the clients’ essential needs will be met. DATES: Statutory Authority: Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as amended, Section 107(b)(1)(B), 22 U.S.C. 7105(b)(1)(B), authorizes funding for benefits and services to foreign victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons in the United States, potential victims of trafficking seeking HHS Certification, and certain family members.
