Title: National Human Trafficking
Training and Technical Assistance
Center (NHTTAC) Consultant and
Evaluation Package.
OMB No.: New.
Description: The Trafficking Victims
Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106–
386), Section 106(b), as amended at 22
U.S. Code § 7104 and 22 U.S. Code
§ 7105(c)(4) authorizes The Office on
Trafficking in Persons (OTIP), an office
of The Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) to
establish and carry out human
trafficking public awareness programs
and training for government personnel.
Under this authority, OTIP is proposing
a data collection through the National
Human Trafficking Training and
Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC).
NHTTAC hosts a variety of services,
programs, and facilitated sessions to
improve service provision to
individuals who have been trafficked or
who are at risk of trafficking, including
The Human Trafficking Leadership
Academy (HTLA); the Survivor
Fellowship Program; the NHTTAC
Customer Support Center; short-term
and specialized T/TA requests (requests
that take less than 3 hours or 3 or more
hours to fulfill, respectively); OTIPfunded grantees; and information
through NHTTAC’s website, resources,
and materials about trafficking.
Assessment, evaluation, and quality
improvement are essential components
of NHTTAC T/TA delivery and requires
data collection from NHTTAC T/TA
participants, consultants, and other
stakeholders that are involved in
NHTTAC activities. Data will be
collected after each T/TA event to
provide a feedback mechanism to
improve the availability and delivery of
coordinated and trauma-informed
services before, during, and after an
individual’s trafficking exploitation.
Whenever possible, data will be
collected from participants and
consultants electronically via a survey
tailored to the specific T/TA event to
maximize convenience and minimize
the burden for participants. When
appropriate, focus groups and
interviews will also be leveraged to
obtain contextual information about
NHTTAC activities. The types of
information collected tie directly to the
outputs, short-term, and long-term
objectives of NHTTAC.
Respondents: NHTTAC consultants
and T/TA participants are from a
diverse background with a wide range of
experiences within the trafficking and
public health fields, including health
and human service providers.
Human Trafficking Leadership
Academy (HTLA): Participants in the
HTLA comprise survivors of trafficking
and anti-trafficking service providers.
Survivor Fellowship Program:
Participants are representatives from
health and human service organizations
and survivors of trafficking.
Customer Support Center:
Respondents are primarily health and
human service providers requesting
materials or T/TA on trafficking service
provision.
Short-Term and Specialized T/TA:
NHTTAC follows up with participants 3
to 6 months after specialized T/TA
activities to measure the outcomes of
the T/TA.
OTIP Grantees: NHTTAC supports
OTIP grantees by providing information,
facilitating information sharing, and
hosting meetings and webinars.
NHTTAC Website: NHTTAC hosts a
website of information and resources;
people who visit the website are asked
for their feedback on how the website
can be improved.
Conference and Meeting Support:
NHTTAC supports conferences to share
information, promising practices, and
evidence-based research on trafficking
within the field. NHTTAC also supports
the delivery of cluster meetings on
behalf of OTIP.
National Advisory Council: NHTTAC
supports the National Advisory Council
on the Sex Trafficking of Children and
Youth in the United States (NAC) by
facilitating and coordinating meetings.
NAC members are asked for their
feedback following meetings regarding
how well the group is working together
and what could be improved in the
future.
Organizational Scholarships: An
organizational survivor scholarship may
be awarded to organizations for
conferences that support OTIP’s stated
goals and work with individuals who
have been trafficked and/or at risk of
trafficking.
Professional Development
Scholarships: Eligible individuals
include child welfare experts, public
health professionals, medical service
providers, behavioral health
professionals, advocates, service
providers, and individuals who have
been trafficked. Federal, tribal, state,
and local agencies and
multidisciplinary teams are also
eligible.
SOAR to Health and Wellness
(SOAR): Tier I trainings of SOAR engage
respondents through a variety of
modalities: (1) SOAR Online is available
to the public and comprises multiple
modules. (2) SOAR trainings at select
national and regional conferences or
similar meetings. (3) SOAR resources
will help inform practitioners and
professionals who work in the public
health field. (4) SOAR training for U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) personnel is similar to
SOAR Online but tailored to HHS staff.
(5) Emerging issues webinars are
available to the public but targeted to
public health professionals, including
health and human service providers.
Tier II of SOAR targets respondents
through a blended online training to
individuals who plan to incorporate the
content into their organization’s policies
and best practices. Organizations can
also add the SOAR Online training to
their learning management systems.
Tier III of SOAR engages respondents
through intensive, in-person T/TA via
SOAR for Communities. The goal is to
provide strategic planning and goal
setting in communities looking to
improve their response to trafficking.
NHTTAC Consultants: T/TA expert
consultants are subject matter experts
with at least 7 years of relevant
professional experience. Survivor
impact consultants are individuals who
have experienced human trafficking.
Each category has distinct qualifications
and eligibility requirements that are
fielded through an online application
process.

Proposed Information Collection
Activity
Office of Planning, Research,
and Evaluation; ACF; HHS.
ACTION: Request for Public Comment.
AGENCY:
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) Data Innovations (TDI)
Project (New Collection).
The Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) within the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) proposes to collect
information as part of the TANF Data
Innovations (TDI) project. TDI is an
investment to expand the integration,
analysis, and use of TANF data to
improve program administration,
payment integrity, and outcomes for
participants.
TDI will start by assessing the needs
and readiness of TANF agencies across
the country to set up and operate data
systems to support program
improvement. A key goal of the needs
assessment is to help categorize states’

readiness to effectively use data and
produce evidence. Informed by this
assessment and discussions with key
stakeholders, TDI will support a broad
learning collaborative of state agencies
and other entities related to the TANF
program, including a range of Technical
Assistance (TA) options to help states
improve their use of TANF and other
program data.
This information collection request
will consist of a needs assessment
survey to be completed by state TANF
agency administrators and staff to gather
detailed information about their
capacities and needs. These data will
help HHS to better understand the
challenges and barriers states face in
using data and research to inform
program decision-making, and they will
help the TDI team design future
technical assistance activities for TANF
agencies to address states’ challenges.
Respondents: State TANF
Administrators and TANF agency staff.
We expect four respondents per state or
territory.
