to address human trafficking. Steady
progress has been made since the TVPA
was first authorized; however, efforts to
assemble a focused array of prevention
strategies addressing both victimization
and perpetration, while essential, are
largely absent.
Establishing the Prevention Framework
HHS plays a critical role in the U.S.
Government’s efforts to prevent and
respond to human trafficking. The HHS
Task Force to Prevent Human
Trafficking, comprised of 21 divisions
and offices across HHS, helps
implement HHS’s priority actions in the
National Action Plan to Combat Human
Trafficking and related national
strategies. The Framework contributes
to the implementation of National
Action Plan Priority Action 1.1.2 to
increase the scale and quality of human
trafficking prevention efforts utilizing a
collective impact strategy.
The Framework is informed by a
public health approach to violence
prevention, recognizing human
trafficking is not an isolated incident
but a widespread issue impacting the
health and well-being of individuals,
families, and communities across
generations. Human trafficking is a
dynamic form of violence, shifting and
adapting as traffickers refine
recruitment schemes, methods of
control, and modes of exploitation. As
understanding and knowledge of human
trafficking grow, strategies to address it
must evolve as well. Treating human
trafficking as a public health concern
grants a renewed sense of urgency and
fundamentally alters how collaborators
prevent and respond to it.
A public health approach to human
trafficking is proactive rather than
reactionary, moving upstream to
identify prevention measures that,
combined with downstream
interventions, can decrease the number
of people who experience trafficking.
Focusing on three levels of prevention—
primary, secondary, and tertiary—a
public health approach seeks to stop
human trafficking before it occurs,
reduce its impact or duration, mitigate
lasting effects, and prevent it from
recurring.
The Framework harnesses established
concepts of violence prevention to
strengthen efforts to prevent human
trafficking, outlining strategies and
approaches that diverse sectors of
society can use to prevent human
trafficking and its recurrence while
increasing their capacity to identify and
reduce harm caused by human
trafficking. The Framework encourages
collaboration, coordination, and
integration to enhance human

trafficking prevention, inviting
partnerships with federal, state, tribal,
territorial, and local governments;
business, industry, and other private
sector entities; nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations; educational
institutions; and philanthropic, faithbased, and research organizations; and
more. Through this collective effort,
HHS and its partners will be prepared
to test and scale solutions that will
prevent human trafficking and improve
the lives of people affected by human
trafficking across the United States.
Comments: HHS is seeking public
feedback on the Framework, including
comments on understandability and
suggested changes. HHS will use
comments to make updates to the
Framework as needed.

Collections Related to Gatherings
(New Collection)
Office of Planning, Research,

Children and Families, United States
Department of Health and Human
Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services intends to request approval
from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for a generic clearance to
request information from potential
participants at ACF gatherings, such as
meetings or conferences. The planning
for these gatherings is most often on a
quick timeline and the standard
timeline to comply with a full request
under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) would inhibit the ability to
collect information to inform these
activities. Therefore, an umbrella
generic is requested to allow for quick
turnaround requests for similar
information collections related to these
activities.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of the PRA, ACF is

soliciting public comment on the
specific aspects of the information
collection described above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov.
Identify all requests by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF hosts a variety of
gatherings for many different purposes.
This may include large scale
conferences, meetings for grantees or
contractors, workshops, trainings, poster
sessions, and other in-person and
virtual gatherings for individuals with
interest in ACF programs (clients,
researchers, policymakers, etc.), among
others. To ensure ACF has adequate
information to plan these activities, the
Agency must often collect information
from potential participants such as basic
contact information, preferences for
attendance (mode, special requests,
etc.), organizational affiliation, feedback
about meeting content, etc.
Additionally, some activities require
ACF to have additional information to
have the means to select the most
appropriate participants for attendance
according to the type or purpose of a
given activity, or to group participants
into the most appropriate category or
activity during an event. This may
include information about poster
presentations, speaking panels, training
courses, professional perspectives, or
experiences, etc. In addition, attendees
may be asked to submit an application
or abstract for prescreening to be
selected for attendance.
The purposes of the collections under
this umbrella generic information
collection are to gather appropriate
information to plan ACF gatherings.
Example information collection
activities could include:
• Registration forms:
Æ Information collected on these
types of forms could include name,
contact information, organization/
affiliation, basic demographics,
attendance needs, etc.
• Applications for panels, posters, or
other presentation formats:
Æ Information collected on these
types of applications could include title,
author(s), institution/organization,
abstract describing presentation or
poster, instructions, etc.
• Pre-meeting surveys:
Æ Information collected on these
types of surveys could include content
preferences, scheduling needs and
preferences, pre-meeting knowledge,
etc.
• Post-Meeting/-Workshop/-Training
Evaluation Surveys:

Æ Information collected on these
types of surveys could include requests
for feedback on the overall activity,
feedback on content, post-meeting
knowledge, post-meeting uses of
content, preferences for future activities,
etc.
As part of this generic, ACF requests
OMB provide a response on individual
generic information collections within 5
business days.
Note that this generic is primarily for
information collected in connection
with closed ACF meetings, as
information collected in connection
with public ACF meetings are not
considered ‘‘information’’ under PRA
per 44 U.S.C., 5 CFR Ch. 11 (1–1–99
Edition), 1320.3: Definitions.
Respondents: Potential respondents
may include researchers, individuals
with expertise in ACF program areas,
individuals with interest in ACF
program areas, those receiving ACF
services, ACF grantees or contractors,
among others with involvement or
interest in ACF activities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The ACF Office of
Refugee Resettlement (ORR) places
unaccompanied children in their
custody in care provider facilities until
unification with a qualified sponsor.
Care provider facilities are required to
provide children with services such as
mental health services and health care.
Each child must receive an IME within
2 business days of admission to an ORR
care provider program or temporary
influx care facility. The IME satisfies
Flores requirements which require a
‘‘complete medical examination,
including a screening for infectious
disease. The purposes of the IME are to
assess general health, administer
vaccinations in keeping with U.S.
standards (also required by Flores),
identify health conditions that require
further attention, and detect contagious

diseases of public health importance,
such as influenza or TB. The IME is
performed by a licensed health care
provider and comprised of a complete
medical history and physical exam, risk,
and age-based laboratory screenings, TB
screenings and immunizations. In
addition, children may be referred to a
medical specialist by their healthcare
provider for acute or chronic conditions
that require additional evaluation.
Children who are in ORR care for an
extended length of time may require
routine well-child evaluations.
The forms are to be used as
worksheets for generalist healthcare
providers and pediatric and other
medical specialty healthcare providers
to compile information that would
otherwise have been collected during
the health evaluation. Once completed,
the forms will be given to care provider
program staff for data entry into ORR’s
secure, electronic data repository. Data
will be used to monitor the health of
unaccompanied children while in ORR
care, for case management of any
identified illnesses/conditions and
ensure care provider program
compliance with ORR requirements.
ORR has merged the former IME Form
and Supplemental TB Screening Form
into one form, the Medical Assessment
Form which will be used during all
medical evaluations with a mid-level or
higher medical professional. ORR has
incorporated other changes to the forms
to streamline the flow of data collection,
clarify the intent of certain fields,
improve data quality, and ensure
alignment with ORR program guidance.
In addition, ORR has written
instructional letters for the Medical
Assessment Form and Dental
Assessment Form to explain the
