Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Prevention Services Data
Collection
Children’s Bureau,
Administration for Children and
Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), Children’s
Bureau is requesting a 3-year extension
of the Prevention Services Data
Collection (OMB #0970–0529,
expiration 7/31/2022). There are no
changes requested to the form.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
SUMMARY:
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed
collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be
forwarded by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. All requests should be
identified by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 471(e)(4)(E) of
the Social Security Act (the Act) (42
U.S.C. 671), as amended by Public Law
115–123, requires state and tribal child
welfare agencies to collect and report to
ACF information on children receiving
prevention and family services and
programs. Title IV–E Agencies must
report the following:
• The specific services or programs
provided.
• The total expenditures for each of
the services or programs provided.
• The duration of the services or
programs provided, and
• If the child was identified in a
prevention plan as a candidate for foster
care:
Æ The child’s placement status at the
beginning, and at the end, of the 12month period that begins on the date the
child was identified as a candidate for
foster care in a prevention plan; and
Æ Whether the child entered foster
care during the initial 12-month period
and during the subsequent 12-month
period.
To date, approximately 3⁄4 of the Title
IV–E Agencies have chosen to provide
these prevention services; however, it is
believed that this number will continue
to increase over time as states
voluntarily opt-in to the program in
order to utilize IV–E funding to provide
prevention programs and services to
children and families.
The data collected will continue to
inform federal policy decisions,
program management, and responses to
Congressional and Departmental
inquiries. Specifically, the data will
provide information about the use and
availability of prevention services to
children to prevent the need for foster
care placement. The data contains
personally identifiable information (date
of birth and race/ethnicity).
Respondents: Title IV–E Agencies.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 212 / Friday, November 5, 2021 / Notices
Description: The U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
provides letters of certification to
foreign national victims of severe forms
of trafficking in persons under the
authority of the Trafficking Victims
Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as
amended 22 U.S.C. Section
7105(b)(1)(C) and (E). HHS delegated
this authority to OTIP. Certification is
required for foreign national adult
victims of human trafficking in the
United States to apply for federally
funded benefits and services.
OTIP developed a form for potential
victims and their advocates, including
case managers, attorneys, law
enforcement officers, service providers,
and other representatives to provide the
required information for certification to
HHS in accordance with the TVPA of
2000, as amended. The RFC form
(formerly titled Trafficking Victims
Tracking System) was renamed in order
to create continuity between the RFC
and Request for Assistance for Child
Victims of Human Trafficking (RFA)
forms (OMB Control Number 0970–
0362).
Since the RFC form originally
received clearance, OTIP modernized its
request process and launched Shepherd,
an online case management system, to
process requests for certification and
assistance on behalf of foreign national
adult and minor victims of trafficking.
The PDF version of the form should
only be used in exceptional
circumstances when the online case
management system is inaccessible. If a
requester encounters issues submitting a
request through Shepherd, they may
submit the RFC form to OTIP as a
password protected PDF to Trafficking@
acf.hhs.gov. The form asks the requester
for their identifying information,
61277
identifying information for the foreign
national adult in the event the form is
submitted by a case manager, and
information describing the victim’s case
management service needs. The minor
revisions made to this form enable OTIP
to better fulfill its mandate in
accordance with the TVPA of 2000, as
amended. These revisions also enable
OTIP to be more responsive to
congressional inquiries, federal
reporting requirements, and the needs of
victims, as the information provided
will be factored into policy and program
development efforts.
Respondents: Potential victims of a
severe form of trafficking in persons and
their advocates, including case
managers, attorneys, law enforcement
officers, service providers, and other
representatives.
