DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 6921] 

Request for Information for the 2010 

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 comply with the 

minimum standards for the elimination 

of trafficking in persons (‘‘minimum 

standards’’) that are prescribed by the 

Trafficking Victims Protection Act 

(‘‘TVPA’’) of 2000, Div. A of Public Law 

106–386, section 108, as amended. This 

information will assist in the 

preparation of the Trafficking in Persons 

Report (‘‘TIP Report’’) that is submitted 

annually by the Department to the U.S. 

Congress. The TVPA mandates a report 

on countries’ level of compliance with 

the minimum standards and expresses 

the United States’ policy not to provide 

nonhumanitarian, nontrade-related 

foreign assistance to any government 

that does not comply with the minimum 

standards and is not making significant 

efforts to do so. For the 2010 TIP Report, 

the United States will voluntarily report 

on its compliance with the minimum 

standards. Submissions must be made 

in writing to the Office to Monitor and 

Combat Trafficking in Persons at the 

Department of State by March 26, 2010. 

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 

the Office to Monitor and Combat 

Trafficking in Persons by 5 p.m. on 

March 26, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Written submissions and 

supporting documentation may be 

submitted to the Office to Monitor and 

Combat Trafficking in Persons by the 

following methods:

minimum standards for the elimination 

of trafficking in persons in the year 

2009. The minimum standards for the 

elimination of trafficking in persons are 

listed in the Background section. 

Submissions must include information 

relevant and probative of the minimum 

standards for the elimination of 

trafficking in persons and should 

include, but need not be limited to, 

answering the questions in the 

Information Sought section. These 

questions are designed to elicit 

information relevant to the minimum 

standards for the elimination of 

trafficking in persons. Only those 

questions for which the submitter has 

direct professional experience should be 

answered and that experience should be

including source material. If primary 

sources are utilized, such as research 

studies, interviews, direct observations, 

or other sources of quantitative or 

qualitative data, details on the research 

or data-gathering methodology should 

be provided. The Department does not 

include in the report, and is therefore 

not seeking, information on prostitution, 

human smuggling, visa fraud, or child 

abuse, unless such conduct occurs in 

the context of human trafficking. 

Confidentiality: Please provide the 

name, phone number and e-mail 

address of a single point of contact for

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. When applicable, 

portions of submissions relevant to 

efforts by other U.S. government 

agencies may be shared with those 

agencies. 

Response: This is a request for 

information only; there will be no 

response to submissions. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The TIP Report: The TIP Report is the 

most comprehensive worldwide report 

on foreign governments’ efforts to 

combat trafficking in persons. It 

represents an 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 engage in public 

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, the report is used by 

international organizations, foreign 

governments, and nongovernmental 

organizations alike as a tool to examine 

where resources are most needed. 

Freeing victims, preventing trafficking, 

and bringing traffickers to justice are the 

ultimate goals of the report and of the 

U.S government’s anti-human 

trafficking policy. 

The Department prepares the TIP 

Report using information from across 

the U.S. Government, U.S. Embassies, 

foreign government officials, 

nongovernmental and international 

organizations, published reports, and 

research trips to every region. The TIP 

Report focuses on concrete actions that 

governments take to fight trafficking in 

persons, including prosecutions, 

convictions, and prison sentences for 

traffickers as well as victim protection 

measures and prevention efforts. Each 

TIP Report narrative also includes a 

section on recommendations. These 

recommendations are then used to 

measure progress and determine 

whether there is a serious and sustained 

effort from one year to the next. 

The TVPA creates a three tier ranking 

system. This placement is based more 

on the extent of government action to 

combat trafficking than on the size of 

the problem, although that is also an 

important factor. The Department first 

evaluates whether the government fully 

complies with the TVPA’s minimum 

standards for the elimination of 

trafficking. Governments that fully 

comply are placed on Tier 1. For other 

governments, the Department considers 

the extent of efforts to reach 

compliance. Governments that are 

making significant efforts to meet the 

minimum standards are placed on Tier 

2. Governments that do not fully comply 

with the minimum standards and are 

not making significant efforts to do so 

are placed on Tier 3. Finally, the 

Department considers Special Watch 

List criteria and, when applicable, 

moves Tier 2 countries to Tier 2 Watch 

List. For more information, the 2009 TIP 

Report can be found at http:// 

www.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2009. 

Since the inception of the TIP Report 

in 2001, the number of countries 

included and ranked has more than 

doubled to include 175 countries in the 

2009 TIP Report. The number of 

countries on Tier 1 has grown from 12 

to 28 and the number of countries on 

Tier 3 has decreased from 23 to 17. 

Around the world, the TIP Report and 

the best practices reflected therein have 

inspired legislation, national action 

plans, implementation of policies and 

funded programs, protection 

mechanisms that complement 

prosecution efforts, and a 

comprehensive understanding of the 

issue. 

Since 2003, the primary reporting on 

the United States’ anti-trafficking 

activities has been through the Attorney 

General’s Report to Congress and 

Assessment of U.S. Government 

Activities to Combat Human Trafficking 

(‘‘AG Report’’), mandated by the 

Trafficking TVPA, 22 U.S.C. 7103(d)(7). 

The TIP Report has also historically 

included a brief narrative on the United 

States. This year, for the first time, the 

United States will voluntarily, through 

a collaborative interagency process, 

include in the TIP Report an analysis of 

U.S. government anti-trafficking efforts 

in light of the minimum standards to 

eliminate trafficking in persons set forth 

by the TVPA. This analysis in the TIP 

report will be done in addition to the 

AG Report, resulting in a multi-faceted 

self-assessment process of expanded 

scope. 

II. Minimum Standards for the 

Elimination of Trafficking in Persons 

The TVPA sets forth the minimum 

standards for the elimination of 

trafficking in persons as follows: 

(1) The government of the country 

should prohibit severe forms of 

trafficking in persons and punish acts of 

such trafficking. 

(2) For the knowing commission of 

any act of sex trafficking involving 

force, fraud, coercion, or in which the 

victim of sex trafficking is a child 

incapable of giving meaningful consent, 

or of trafficking which includes rape or 

kidnapping or which causes a death, the 

government of the country should 

prescribe punishment commensurate 

with that for grave crimes, such as 

forcible sexual assault. 

(3) For the knowing commission of 

any act of a severe form of trafficking in 

persons, the government of the country 

should prescribe punishment that is 

sufficiently stringent to deter and that 

adequately reflects the heinous nature of 

the offense. 

(4) The government of the country 

should make serious and sustained 

efforts to eliminate severe forms of 

trafficking in persons. 

The following factors should be 

considered as indicia of serious and 

sustained efforts to eliminate severe 

forms of trafficking in persons: 

(1) Whether the government of the 

country vigorously investigates and 

prosecutes acts of severe forms of 

trafficking in persons, and convicts and 

sentences persons responsible for such 

acts, that take place wholly or partly 

within the territory of the country, 

including, as appropriate, requiring 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
11984 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 48 / Friday, March 12, 2010 / Notices 

incarceration of individuals convicted 

of such acts. For purposes of the 

preceding sentence, suspended or 

significantly reduced sentences for 

convictions of principal actors in cases 

of severe forms of trafficking in persons 

shall be considered, on a case-by-case 

basis, whether to be considered as an 

indicator of serious and sustained 

efforts to eliminate severe forms of 

trafficking in persons. After reasonable 

requests from the Department of State 

for data regarding investigations, 

prosecutions, convictions, and 

sentences, a government which does not 

provide such data, consistent with the 

capacity of such government to obtain 

such data, shall be presumed not to 

have vigorously investigated, 

prosecuted, convicted or sentenced such 

acts. During the periods prior to the 

annual report submitted on June 1, 

2004, and on June 1, 2005, and the 

periods afterwards until September 30 

of each such year, the Secretary of State 

may disregard the presumption 

contained in the preceding sentence if 

the government has provided some data 

to the Department of State regarding 

such acts and the Secretary has 

determined that the government is 

making a good faith effort to collect 

such data. 

(2) Whether the government of the 

country protects victims of severe forms 

of trafficking in persons and encourages 

their assistance in the investigation and 

prosecution of such trafficking, 

including provisions for legal 

alternatives to their removal to countries 

in which they would face retribution or 

hardship, and ensures that victims are 

not inappropriately incarcerated, fined, 

or otherwise penalized solely for 

unlawful acts as a direct result of being 

trafficked, including by providing 

training to law enforcement and 

immigration officials regarding the 

identification and treatment of 

trafficking victims using approaches 

that focus on the needs of the victims. 

(3) Whether the government of the 

country has adopted measures to 

prevent severe forms of trafficking in 

persons, such as measures to inform and 

educate the public, including potential 

victims, about the causes and 

consequences of severe forms of 

trafficking in persons, measures to 

establish the identity of local 

populations, including birth 

registration, citizenship, and 

nationality, measures to ensure that its 

nationals who are deployed abroad as 

part of a peacekeeping or other similar 

mission do not engage in or facilitate 

severe forms of trafficking in persons or 

exploit victims of such trafficking, and 

measures to prevent the use of forced 

labor or child labor in violation of 

international standards. 

(4) Whether the government of the 

country cooperates with other 

governments in the investigation and 

prosecution of severe forms of 

trafficking in persons. 

(5) Whether the government of the 

country extradites persons charged with 

acts of severe forms of trafficking in 

persons on substantially the same terms 

and to substantially the same extent as 

persons charged with other serious 

crimes (or, to the extent such extradition 

would be inconsistent with the laws of 

such country or with international 

agreements to which the country is a 

party, whether the government is taking 

all appropriate measures to modify or 

replace such laws and treaties so as to 

permit such extradition). 

(6) Whether the government of the 

country monitors immigration and 

emigration patterns for evidence of 

severe forms of trafficking in persons 

and whether law enforcement agencies 

of the country respond to any such 

evidence in a manner that is consistent 

with the vigorous investigation and 

prosecution of acts of such trafficking, 

as well as with the protection of human 

rights of victims and the internationally 

recognized human right to leave any 

country, including one’s own, and to 

return to one’s own country. 

(7) Whether the government of the 

country vigorously investigates, 

prosecutes, convicts, and sentences 

public officials who participate in or 

facilitate severe forms of trafficking in 

persons, including nationals of the 

country who are deployed abroad as 

part of a peacekeeping or other similar 

mission who engage in or facilitate 

severe forms of trafficking in persons or 

exploit victims of such trafficking, and 

takes all appropriate measures against 

officials who condone such trafficking. 

After reasonable requests from the 

Department of State for data regarding 

such investigations, prosecutions, 

convictions, and sentences, a 

government which does not provide 

such data consistent with its resources 

shall be presumed not to have 

vigorously investigated, prosecuted, 

convicted, or sentenced such acts. 

During the periods prior to the annual 

report submitted on June 1, 2004, and 

on June 1, 2005, and the periods 

afterwards until September 30 of each 

such year, the Secretary of State may 

disregard the presumption contained in 

the preceding sentence if the 

government has provided some data to 

the Department of State regarding such 

acts and the Secretary has determined 

that the government is making a good 

faith effort to collect such data. 

(8) Whether the percentage of victims 

of severe forms of trafficking in the 

country that are non-citizens of such 

countries is insignificant. 

(9) Whether the government of the 

country, consistent with the capacity of 

such government, systematically 

monitors its efforts to satisfy the criteria 

described in paragraphs (1) through (8) 

and makes available publicly a periodic 

assessment of such efforts. 

(10) Whether the government of the 

country achieves appreciable progress 

in eliminating severe forms of 

trafficking when compared to the 

assessment in the previous year. 

(11) Whether the government of the 

country has made serious and sustained 

efforts to reduce the demand for (A) 

commercial sex acts; and (B) 

participation in international sex 

tourism by nationals of the country.
