breach or to prevent, minimize, or 

remedy such harm. 

11. To another Federal agency or 

Federal entity, when we determine that 

information from this system of records 

is reasonably necessary to assist the 

recipient agency or entity in: 

(a) Responding to a suspected or 

confirmed breach; or 

(b) preventing, minimizing, or 

remedying the risk of harm to 

individuals, the recipient agency or 

entity (including its information 

systems, programs, and operations), the 

Federal Government, or national 

security, resulting from a suspected or 

confirmed breach. 

12. To the Census Bureau, for the 

purpose of providing SSA-approved 

organizations and agencies access to 

DAF–NBS records at Census Bureau 

Federal Statistical Research Data 

Centers for authorized research and 

statistics activities. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF

RECORDS: 

We will maintain records in this 

system in paper form (e.g., 

questionnaire forms, computer 

printouts) and in electronic form (e.g., 

magnetic tape and disc). 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF

RECORDS: 

We will retrieve records in this 

system by case number or SSN. We will 

also retrieve records by socioeconomic, 

demographic, medical, and disability 

characteristics. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

In accordance with NARA rules 

codified at 36 CFR 1225.16, we maintain 

records in accordance with agencyspecific records schedule NC1–47–78– 

21, item I.A.3.a. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

We retain electronic and paper files 

with personal identifiers in secure 

storage areas accessible only by our 

authorized employees and contractors 

who have a need for the information 

when performing their official duties. 

Security measures include the use of 

codes and profiles, personal 

identification number and password, 

and personal identification verification 

cards. We keep paper records in locked 

cabinets within secure areas, with 

access limited to only those employees 

who have an official need for access in 

order to perform their duties. To the 

maximum extent consistent with the 

approved research needs, we purge 

personal identifiers from micro-data 

files prepared for purposes of research 

and subject these files to procedural 

safeguards to assure anonymity. 

We annually provide our employees 

and contractors with appropriate 

security awareness training that 

includes reminders about the need to 

protect PII and the criminal penalties 

that apply to unauthorized access to, or 

disclosure of, PII (5 U.S.C. 552a(i)(1)). 

Furthermore, employees and contractors 

with access to databases maintaining PII 

must sign a sanctions document 

annually, acknowledging their 

accountability for inappropriately 

accessing or disclosing such 

information. 

In addition, all external researchers 

accessing the DAF–NBS system of 

records will be required to complete the 

appropriate security awareness training, 

which includes reminders about the 

need to protect PII and the criminal 

penalties that apply to unauthorized 

access to, or disclosure of, PII. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

Individuals may submit requests for 

notification of, or access to, information 

about them contained in this system by 

submitting a written request to the 

system manager at the above address, 

which includes their name, SSN, or 

other information that may be in this 

system of records that will identify 

them. Individuals requesting 

notification of, or access to, a record by 

mail must include (1) a notarized 

statement to verify their identity or (2) 

must certify in the request that they are 

the individual they claim to be and that 

they understand that the knowing and 

willful request for, or acquisition of, a 

record pertaining to another individual 

under false pretenses is a criminal 

offense. 

Individuals requesting notification of, 

or access to, records may also make an 

in-person request by providing their 

name, SSN, or other information that 

may be in this system of records that 

will identify them, as well as provide an 

identifying document, preferably with a 

photograph, such as a driver’s license. 

Individuals lacking identification 

documents sufficient to establish their 

identity must certify in writing that they 

are the individual they claim to be and 

that they understand that the knowing 

and willful request for, acquisition of, a 

record pertaining to another individual 

under false pretenses is a criminal 

offense. These procedures are in 

accordance with our regulations at 20 

CFR 401.40 and 401.45. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Same as record access procedures. 

Individuals should also reasonably 

identify the record, specify the 

information they are contesting, and 

state the corrective action sought and 

the reasons for the correction with 

supporting justification showing how 

the record is incomplete, untimely, 

inaccurate, or irrelevant. These 

procedures are in accordance with our 

regulations at 20 CFR 401.65(a). 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

Same as record access procedures.

BILLING CODE 4710–27– P 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 11271] 

Request for Information for the 2021 

Trafficking in Persons Report 

ACTION: Request for information for the 

2021 Trafficking in Persons Report. 

SUMMARY: The Department of State (‘‘the 

Department’’) requests written 

information to assist in reporting on the 

degree to which the United States and 

foreign governments meet the minimum 

standards for the elimination of 

trafficking in persons (‘‘minimum 

standards’’) that are prescribed by the 

Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 

2000, as amended (‘‘TVPA’’). This 

information will assist in the 

preparation of the Trafficking in Persons 

Report (‘‘TIP Report’’) that the 

Department submits annually to the 

U.S. Congress on governments’ concrete 

actions to meet the minimum standards. 

Foreign governments that do not meet 

the minimum standards and are not 

making significant efforts to do so may 

be subject to restrictions on 

nonhumanitarian, nontrade-related 

foreign assistance from the United 

States, as defined by the TVPA. 

Submissions must be made in writing to 

the Office to Monitor and Combat 

Trafficking in Persons at the Department 

of State by February 1, 2021. Please refer 

to the Addresses, Scope of Interest, and 

Information Sought sections of this 

Notice for additional instructions on 

submission requirements. 

DATES: Submissions must be received by 

5 p.m. on February 1, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Written submissions and 

supporting documentation may be 

submitted by the following method: 

• Email: tipreport@state.gov for 

submissions related to foreign 

governments and tipreportUS@state.gov 

for submissions related to the United 

States. 

Scope of Interest: The Department 

requests information relevant to 

assessing the United States’ and foreign 

governments’ concrete actions to meet 

the minimum standards for the 

elimination of trafficking in persons 

during the reporting period (April 1, 

2020–March 31, 2021). The minimum 

standards are listed in the Background 

section. Submissions must include 

information relevant to efforts to meet 

the minimum standards and should 

include, but need not be limited to, 

answering the questions in the 

Information Sought section. 

Submissions need not include answers 

to all the questions; only those 

questions for which the submitter has 

direct professional experience should be 

answered, and that experience should 

be noted. For any critique or deficiency 

described, please provide a 

recommendation to remedy it. Note the 

country or countries that are the focus 

of the submission. 

Submissions may include written 

narratives that answer the questions 

presented in this Notice, research, 

studies, statistics, fieldwork, training 

materials, evaluations, assessments, and 

other relevant evidence of local, state/ 

provincial, and federal/central 

government efforts. To the extent 

possible, precise dates and numbers of 

officials or citizens affected should be 

included. 

Written narratives providing factual 

information should provide citations of 

sources, and copies of and links to the 

source material should be provided. 

Please send electronic copies of the 

entire submission, including source 

material. If primary sources are used, 

such as research studies, interviews, 

direct observations, or other sources of 

quantitative or qualitative data, provide 

details on the research or data-gathering 

methodology and any supporting 

documentation. The Department only 

includes in the TIP Report information 

related to trafficking in persons as 

defined by the TVPA; it does not 

include, and is therefore not seeking, 

information on prostitution, migrant 

smuggling, visa fraud, or child abuse, 

unless such crimes also involve the 

elements of sex trafficking or forced 

labor. 

Confidentiality: Please provide the 

name, phone number, and email address 

of a single point of contact for any 

submission. It is Department practice 

not to identify in the TIP Report 

information concerning sources to 

safeguard those sources. Please note, 

however, that any information 

submitted to the Department may be 

releasable pursuant to the provisions of 

the Freedom of Information Act or other 

applicable law. Submissions related to 

the United States will be shared with 

U.S. government agencies, as will 

submissions relevant to efforts by other 

U.S. government agencies. 

Response: This is a request for 

information only; there will be no 

response to submissions. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background 

Definitions: The TVPA defines 

‘‘severe forms of trafficking in persons’’ 

as: 

• Sex trafficking: The recruitment, 

harboring, transportation, provision, 

obtaining, patronizing, or soliciting of a 

person for the purpose of a commercial 

sex act that is induced by force, fraud, 

or coercion, or in which the person 

induced to perform such act has not 

attained 18 years of age. 

• Forced labor (also known as labor 

trafficking): The recruitment, harboring, 

transportation, provision, or obtaining 

of a person for labor or services, through 

the use of force, fraud, or coercion, for 

the purposes of involuntary servitude, 

peonage, debt bondage, or slavery. 

• Child soldiering: Child soldiering is 

a form of human trafficking when a 

government armed group, (including 

police or other security force), 

paramilitary organization, rebel group, 

or other non-state armed group 

unlawfully recruits or uses children— 

through force, fraud, or coercion—as 

combatants or in other support roles, 

including as cooks, porters, guards, 

messengers, medics, guards, servants, 

spies, or sex slaves. 

The TIP Report: The TIP Report is the 

most comprehensive worldwide report 

on governments’ efforts to combat 

trafficking in persons. It represents an 

annually updated, global look at the 

nature and scope of trafficking in 

persons and the broad range of 

government actions to confront and 

eliminate it. The U.S. government uses 

the TIP Report to inform diplomacy, to 

encourage partnership in creating and 

implementing laws and policies to 

combat trafficking, and to target 

resources on prevention, protection, and 

prosecution programs. Worldwide, 

international organizations, foreign 

governments, and nongovernmental 

organizations use the TIP Report as a 

tool to examine where resources are 

most needed. Prosecuting traffickers, 

protecting victims, and preventing 

trafficking are the ultimate goals of the 

TIP Report and of the U.S government’s 

anti-trafficking policy. 

The Department prepares the TIP 

Report with information from across the 

U.S. government, foreign government 

officials, nongovernmental and 

international organizations, survivors of 

trafficking in persons, published
