Primary data for the evaluation will
be collected via surveys with project
directors, case managers, and key
community partners; and semistructured qualitative interviews,
including telephone interviews with
project directors, in-person interviews
with select project staff, survivor
leaders, and program partners, and
individual interviews with program
clients. Interviews from multiple
perspectives will enhance the
government’s understanding of
appropriate service models and practice
strategies for identifying, engaging, and
meeting the needs of diverse
populations of victims of severe forms
of human trafficking. Data collection
will take place after receiving OMB
approval through March 2020.
Data collection for an exploratory
evaluation of the DVHT FY15 grantees
(‘‘Domestic Human Trafficking
Demonstration Projects’’) is being
conducted under a prior Information
Collection Request under 0970–0487.
The data have provided insight into
approaches grantees used to enhance
organizational and community capacity,
identify domestic victims, and deliver
case management and direct services in
collaboration with their community
partners. The currently proposed data
collection for DVHT FY16 will build on
this earlier data collection for the DVHT
FY15 study to understand strategies and
program models implemented by the
grantees in various program contexts.
All data collection approved for DVHT
FY15 is complete.
Respondents: Project directors, case
managers, survivor leaders, other select
project staff, key community partners,
and clients.

Title: 2019 National Survey of Early
Care and Education
OMB No.: 0970–0391
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing a data
collection activity as part of the
National Survey of Early Care and
Education (NSECE) which will be
conducted October 2018 through August
2019. The objective of the NSECE is to
document the nation’s current supply of
early care and education services (that
is, home-based providers, center-based
providers, and the center-based provider
workforce). The 2019 NSECE will
collect information on child care and
early education providers that serve
families with children from birth to 13
years in the country, as well as the early
care and education (ECE) workforce
providing these services. The proposed
collection will consist of three
coordinated nationally representative
surveys:
1. A survey of individuals providing
care for children under the age of 13 in
a residential setting (Home-based
Provider Interview),

2. a survey of providers of care to

(not yet in kindergarten) in a nonresidential setting (Center-based
Provider Interview), and
3. a survey conducted with
individuals employed in center-based
child care programs working directly
with children in classrooms (Workforce
Interview).
Both the home-based and centerbased provider surveys will require a
screener to determine eligibility for the
main survey.
The 2019 NSECE data collection
efforts will provide urgently needed
information about the supply of child
care and early education available to
families across all income levels,
including providers serving low-income
families of various racial, ethnic,
language, and cultural backgrounds, in
diverse geographic areas. The provider
data will include programs that do or do
not participate in the child care subsidy
program, are regulated, registered, or
otherwise appear in state or national
lists and are home-based providers or
center-based programs (e.g., private,
community-based child care, Head
Start, and state or local Pre-K). Accurate
data on the availability and
characteristics of early care and
education programs are essential to
assess the current and changing
landscape of child care and early
education programs since the 2012
NSECE data collection, and to provide
