SUMMARY:
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, Heartland Human Care
Services (HHCS), served more clients
than it had planned for in its budget for
the year. Without the additional
funding, HHCS would have to make
significant cuts in services to current
clients and limit the enrollment of new
clients. With the supplemental funding,
HHCS will be able to ensure that all of
the clients’ essential needs will be met.
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.

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects: Application for
Grants to States.
Title: State Access and Visitation
Grant Application.
OMB No.: 0970–NEW.
Description: The Personal
Responsibility and Work Opportunity
Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA)
created the ‘‘Grants to States for Access
and Visitation’’ program (AV grant
program). Funding for the program
began in FY 1997 with a capped, annual
entitlement of $10 million. The
statutory goal of the program is to
provide funds to states that will enable
them to provide services for the purpose
of increasing noncustodial parent (NCP)
access to and visitation with their
children. State governors decide which
state entity will be responsible for
implementing the AV grant program in
addition to determining who will be
served, what services will be provided,
and whether the services will be
statewide or in local jurisdictions. The
statute specifies certain activities which
may be funded including: Voluntary
and mandatory mediation, counseling,
education, the development of parenting
plans, supervised visitation, and the
development of guidelines for visitation
and alternative custody arrangements.
Even though OCSE manages this
program, the funding for the AV grant
is separate from funding for federal and
state administration of the Child
Support program.
Section 469B(e)(3) of the Social
Security Act (Pub. L. 104–193) requires
that each state receiving an AV grant
award shall monitor, evaluate and
report on such programs in accordance
with regulations. Additionally, the
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance,
states that there is an application
requirement for Grants to States for
Access and Visitation Programs
(93.597). The application process will
assist OCSE in complying with this
requirement and will reflect a greater
emphasis on program efficiency,
coordination of services, and increased
attention to family safety.
The application will require states to
submit a program plan, indicating how
they anticipate spending their funds
within the program statue and
regulations. The applications will cover
three fiscal years and any changes made
to the plan during the three year period
will require a notification of change to
OCSE.
OCSE will review the applications to
ensure that planned services meet the
requirements laid out in Section
469B(e)(3) of the Social Security Act
(Pub. L. 104–193). This review will
include monitoring of program
compliance and the safe delivery of
services. In addition to monitoring, the
report will also assist in OCSE’s ability
to provide technical assistance to states
that would like assistance.
Respondents: Recipients of the Access
& Visitation Grant (54 states and
territories).
