envisioned under the Affordable Care 

Act. 

B. Requests for Nominations 

The APOE shall consist of no more 

than 20 members. The Chair shall either 

be appointed from among the 20 

members, or a Federal official will be 

designated to serve as the Chair. The 

charter requires that meetings shall be 

held up to four times per year. Members 

will be expected to attend all meetings. 

The members and the Chair shall be 

selected from authorities knowledgeable 

in one or more of the following fields: 

• Senior citizen advocacy. 

• Outreach to minority and 

underserved communities. 

• Health communications. 

• Disease-related advocacy. 

• Disability policy and access. 

• Health economics research. 

• Behavioral health. 

• Health insurers and plans. 

• Health IT. 

• Social Media. 

• Direct patient care. 

• Matters of labor and retirement. 

Representatives of the general public 

may also serve on the APOE. 

This notice also requests nominations 

for 10 individuals to serve on the APOE 

to fill current vacancies and 10 

vacancies that will become available in 

2019. This notice is an invitation to 

interested organizations or individuals 

to submit their nominations for 

membership (no self-nominations will 

be accepted). The CMS Administrator 

will appoint new members to the APOE 

from among those candidates 

determined to have the expertise 

required to meet specific agency needs, 

and in a manner to ensure an 

appropriate balance of membership. We 

have an interest in ensuring that the 

interests of both women and men, 

members of all racial and ethnic groups, 

and disabled individuals are adequately 

represented on the APOE. Therefore, we 

encourage nominations of qualified 

candidates who can represent these 

interests. Any interested organization or 

person may nominate one or more 

qualified persons. 

Each nomination must include a letter 

stating that the nominee has expressed 

a willingness to serve as a Panel 

member and must be accompanied by a 

curricula vitae and a brief biographical 

summary of the nominee’s experience. 

While we are looking for experts in a 

number of fields, our most specific 

needs are for experts in outreach to 

minority and underserved communities, 

health communications, disease-related 

advocacy, disability policy and access, 

health economics research, behavioral 

health, health insurers and plans, 

Health IT, social media, direct patient 

care, and matters of labor and 

retirement. 

We are requesting that all submitted 

curricula vitae include the following: 

• Date of birth. 

• Place of birth. 

• Title and current position. 

• Professional affiliation. 

• Home and business address. 

• Telephone and fax numbers. 

• Email address. 

• Areas of expertise. 

Phone interviews of nominees may 

also be requested after review of the 

nominations. 

In order to permit an evaluation of 

possible sources of conflict of interest, 

potential candidates will be asked to 

provide detailed information concerning 

such matters as financial holdings, 

consultancies, and research grants or 

contracts. 

Members are invited to serve for 2- 

year terms, contingent upon the renewal 

of the APOE by appropriate action prior 

to its termination. A member may serve 

after the expiration of that member’s 

term until a successor takes office. Any 

member appointed to fill a vacancy for 

an unexpired term shall be appointed 

for the remainder of that term.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Proposed Projects: Trafficking Victim 

Assistance Program Data Collection. 

Title: Trafficking Victim Assistance 

Program Data Collection. 

OMB No.: 0970–0467. 

Description: The Trafficking Victims 

Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as 

amended, authorizes the Secretary of 

Health and Human Services to expand 

benefits and services to foreign 

nationals in the United States who are 

victims of severe forms of trafficking in 

persons. Such benefits and services may 

include services to assist potential 

victims of trafficking (Section 

107(b)(1)(B) of the TVPA, 22 U.S.C. 

7105(b)(1)(B)). The Office on Trafficking 

in Persons (OTIP) awards cooperative 

agreements to organizations to provide 

case management services to foreign 

national victims of human trafficking 

pursuing HHS Certification and their 

qualified family members. The awarded 

organizations must provide 

comprehensive case management and 

referrals to qualified persons, either 

directly through its own organization or 

by partnering with other organizations 

through subcontracts or both. 

Persons qualified for services under 

this grant are victims of a severe form 

of trafficking in persons who have 

received HHS Certification or Eligibility, 

potential victims of a severe form of 

trafficking who are actively seeking to 

achieve HHS Certification or Eligibility, 

family members with derivative T visas, 

and minor dependent children of 

foreign victims of severe forms of 

trafficking in persons or potential 

victims of trafficking. 

To help measure each grant project’s 

performance and the success of the 

program in assisting the target 

population, to assist grantees to assess 

and improve their projects over the 

course of the project period, and to 

fulfill instructions for a consolidated 

report to several committees of the 

House of Representatives, OTIP 

proposes to collect information from 

TVAP grantees on a monthly, quarterly, 

or annual basis, including participant 

demographics (e.g., age, sex, and 

country of origin), types of trafficking 

experienced (sex, labor, or both), types 

of enrollment, types of services 

provided, types of health screening and 

medical services received, the names of 

the entities providing medical services, 

the amount of money expended on each 

type of service provided, the amount of 

money expended on each type of client 

enrollment, types of partnerships 

developed through the grant, and the 

types of training and technical 

assistance provided to subrecipient 

organizations or other partners. 

This information will help OTIP 

assess the project’s performance in 

assisting foreign national victims of 

trafficking and will better enable TVAP 

grantees to meet the program objectives 

and to monitor and evaluate the quality 

of case management services provided 

by any subcontractors. OTIP will also 

include aggregate information in reports

and policies to assist foreign national 

victims of human trafficking.
