for Certification of Adult Victims of
Human Trafficking
Office on Trafficking in
Persons; Administration for Children
and Families; HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), Office on
Trafficking in Persons (OTIP), is
requesting a 3-year extension of the
Request for Certification of Adult
Victims of Human Trafficking (RFC)
form (Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) #: 0970–0454, expiration 2/28/
22). Minor revisions have been made to
the form, including the addition of a few
fields that will enable OTIP to be more
responsive to congressional inquiries,
federal reporting requirements, and the
needs of victims.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB must make a decision
about the collection of information
between 30 and 60 days after
publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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,
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.
