Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The Directorate of Defense Trade

Political-Military Affairs Bureau of the 

Department of State, has the principal 

mission of licensing the export and 

temporary import of defense articles or 

defense services as enumerated in the 

United States Munitions List (USML), 

and to ensure that the sale, transfer, or 

brokering of such items are in the 

interest of United States national 

security and foreign policy. Sections 

120.22 and 129.9 of the International 

Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 

CFR parts 120–130) may be used to 

request an advisory opinion or guidance 

on: whether DDTC would likely grant a 

license or other approval for the export 

of a particular defense article or defense 

service to a particular country 

(§ 120.22(a)); an interpretation of the 

requirements set forth in the regulations 

(§ 120.22(c)); whether an activity 

constitutes brokering within the scope 

of Part 129—Registration and Licensing 

of Brokers (§ 129.9(a)); or other guidance 

on other aspects of part 129 (§ 129.9(c)).

BILLING CODE 4710–25–P 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 12260] 

Request for Information for the 2024 

Trafficking in Persons Report 

ACTION: Request for Information for the 

2024 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, 2024. 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. EST on February 1, 2024. 

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. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. Background 

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, 

2023–March 31, 2024). The minimum 

standards are listed below. 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 below. 

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. Questions below seek to 

gather information and updates from the 

details provided and assessment on 

government efforts made in the 2023 

TIP Report. 

Furthermore, we request information 

on the government’s treatment of 

‘‘underserved communities,’’ including 

how the government may have 

systemically denied opportunities to a 

community to participate in aspects of 

economic, social, and civic life that has 

led to heighted risk to human trafficking 

or how the government’s anti-trafficking 

response may have treated certain 

groups differently. 

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 (Div. A, Pub. L. 

106–386); 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. Remuneration 

for responses will not be provided. In 

order to expend appropriated funds, 

there must be specific authority to do 

so. The Department of State has no 

authority to expend funds for this 

purpose. 

Definitions: The TVPA defines 

‘‘severe forms of trafficking in persons’’ 

as: 

• 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. 

Æ Persons under age 18 in 

commercial sex are trafficking in 

persons victims regardless of whether 

force, fraud, or coercion were involved. 

• The recruitment, harboring, 

transportation, provision, or obtaining
