information they conduct or sponsor.
The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires federal agencies to publish a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this

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 Service
(HHS), upon receipt of credible
information that a non-U.S. citizen, nonLawful Permanent Resident (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 or her identifying
information, information on the child,
and information describing the type of
E:\FR\FM\01AUN1.SGM
01AUN1
35784
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 146 / Tuesday, August 1, 2017 / Notices
trafficking and circumstances
surrounding the situation. 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
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 potential 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 and address potential child
protection issues.
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 may have been
subjected to severe forms of trafficking
in persons.
