On
September 29, 2014, President Obama
signed the Preventing Sex Trafficking
and Strengthening Families Act (Pub. L.
113–183). The Act established a
National Advisory Committee on the
Sex Trafficking of Children and Youth
in the United States to advise the
Secretary and the Attorney General on
practical and general policies
concerning the cooperation of Federal,
State, local, and tribal governments;
child welfare agencies; social service
providers; physical health and mental
health providers; victim service
providers; State or local courts with
responsibility for conducting or
supervising proceedings relating to
child welfare or social services for
children and their families; Federal,
State, and local police; juvenile
detention centers and runaway and
homeless youth programs; schools; the
gaming and entertainment industry; and
businesses and organizations that
provide services to youth, on
responding to sex trafficking.
The Secretary shall appoint members
of the Committee in consultation with
the Attorney General and National
Governors Association. At least one
Committee member shall be a former
sex trafficking victim and two
Committee members shall be Governors
of States. Each member of the
Committee shall be appointed for the 5year life of the Committee. The
Committee will advise on the
development and implementation of
successful interventions with children
and youth who are exposed to
conditions that make them vulnerable
to, or victims of, sex trafficking; and
recommendations for administrative or
legislative changes necessary to use
programs, properties, or other resources
owned, operated, or funded by the
Federal Government to provide safe
housing for children and youth who are
sex trafficking victims.
The Committee shall develop two
tiers of recommended best practices for
States to follow in combating the sex
trafficking of children and youth based
on multidisciplinary research and
promising, evidence-based models and
programs, including sample training
materials, protocols, and screening tools
to identify victims of trafficking and
those at risk for trafficking;
multidisciplinary strategies to identify
victims, manage cases, and improve
services; sample protocols and
recommendations for cross-system
collaborations; criteria and guidelines
for safe residential placements for foster
children who have been sex trafficked;

and training guidelines for caregivers
serving children and youth outside the
home.
The Committee will share best
practices and recommendations with
State Governors and child welfare
agencies on a quarterly basis.
The Committee shall submit an
interim report to the Secretary, Attorney
General, and Congress within 3 years
after the establishment of the Committee
and a final report within 4 years after
the establishment of the Committee.
The Committee shall convene at least
twice a year. This is an unpaid position
and Committee members will not be
considered employees of the Federal
Government other than reimbursement
of travel expenses and a per diem
allowance in accordance with Federal
Government regulations.

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects
Title: TANF Quarterly Financial
Report, ACF–196.
OMB No.: 0970–0247.
Description: This information
collection is authorized under Section
411(a)(3) of the Social Security Act. This
request is for renewal of approval to use
the Administration for Children and
Families’ (ACF) 196 form for periodic
financial reporting under the Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
program. States participating in the
TANF program are required by statute to
report financial data on a quarterly
basis. This form meets the legal
standard and provides essential data on
the use of Federal funds. Failure to
collect the data would seriously
compromise ACF’s ability to monitor
program expenditures, estimate funding
needs, and to prepare budget
submissions required by Congress.
Financial reporting under the TANF
program is governed by 45 CFR part
265. This renewal restores columns for
reporting Emergency Contingency Fund
Grant expenditures.
Respondents: TANF Agencies.
