Title: National Human Trafficking 

Training and Technical Assistance 

Center (NHTTAC) Consultant and 

Evaluation Package. 

OMB No.: New. 

Description: The Trafficking Victims 

Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106– 

386), Section 106(b), as amended at 22 

U.S. Code § 7104 and 22 U.S. Code 

§ 7105(c)(4) authorizes The Office on 

Trafficking in Persons (OTIP), an office 

of The Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF), U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) to 

establish and carry out human 

trafficking public awareness programs 

and training for government personnel. 

Under this authority, OTIP is proposing 

a data collection through the National 

Human Trafficking Training and 

Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC). 

NHTTAC hosts a variety of services, 

programs, and facilitated sessions to 

improve service provision to 

individuals who have been trafficked or 

who are at risk of trafficking, including 

The Human Trafficking Leadership 

Academy (HTLA); the Survivor 

Fellowship Program; the NHTTAC 

Customer Support Center; short-term 

and specialized T/TA requests (requests 

that take less than 3 hours or 3 or more 

hours to fulfill, respectively); OTIPfunded grantees; and information 

through NHTTAC’s website, resources, 

and materials about trafficking. 

Assessment, evaluation, and quality 

improvement are essential components 

of NHTTAC T/TA delivery and requires 

data collection from NHTTAC T/TA 

participants, consultants, and other 

stakeholders that are involved in 

NHTTAC activities. Data will be 

collected after each T/TA event to 

provide a feedback mechanism to 

improve the availability and delivery of 

coordinated and trauma-informed 

services before, during, and after an 

individual’s trafficking exploitation. 

Whenever possible, data will be 

collected from participants and 

consultants electronically via a survey 

tailored to the specific T/TA event to 

maximize convenience and minimize 

the burden for participants. When 

appropriate, focus groups and 

interviews will also be leveraged to 

obtain contextual information about 

NHTTAC activities. The types of 

information collected tie directly to the 

outputs, short-term, and long-term 

objectives of NHTTAC. 

Respondents: NHTTAC consultants 

and T/TA participants are from a 

diverse background with a wide range of 

experiences within the trafficking and 

public health fields, including health 

and human service providers. 

Human Trafficking Leadership 

Academy (HTLA): Participants in the 

HTLA comprise survivors of trafficking 

and anti-trafficking service providers. 

Survivor Fellowship Program: 

Participants are representatives from 

health and human service organizations 

and survivors of trafficking. 

Customer Support Center: 

Respondents are primarily health and 

human service providers requesting 

materials or T/TA on trafficking service 

provision. 

Short-Term and Specialized T/TA: 

NHTTAC follows up with participants 3 

to 6 months after specialized T/TA 

activities to measure the outcomes of 

the T/TA. 

OTIP Grantees: NHTTAC supports 

OTIP grantees by providing information, 

facilitating information sharing, and 

hosting meetings and webinars. 

NHTTAC Website: NHTTAC hosts a 

website of information and resources; 

people who visit the website are asked 

for their feedback on how the website 

can be improved. 

Conference and Meeting Support: 

NHTTAC supports conferences to share 

information, promising practices, and 

evidence-based research on trafficking 

within the field. NHTTAC also supports 

the delivery of cluster meetings on 

behalf of OTIP. 

National Advisory Council: NHTTAC 

supports the National Advisory Council 

on the Sex Trafficking of Children and 

Youth in the United States (NAC) by 

facilitating and coordinating meetings. 

NAC members are asked for their 

feedback following meetings regarding 

how well the group is working together 

and what could be improved in the 

future. 

Organizational Scholarships: An 

organizational survivor scholarship may 

be awarded to organizations for 

conferences that support OTIP’s stated 

goals and work with individuals who 

have been trafficked and/or at risk of 

trafficking. 

Professional Development 

Scholarships: Eligible individuals 

include child welfare experts, public 

health professionals, medical service 

providers, behavioral health 

professionals, advocates, service 

providers, and individuals who have 

been trafficked. Federal, tribal, state, 

and local agencies and 

multidisciplinary teams are also 

eligible. 

SOAR to Health and Wellness 

(SOAR): Tier I trainings of SOAR engage 

respondents through a variety of 

modalities: (1) SOAR Online is available 

to the public and comprises multiple 

modules. (2) SOAR trainings at select 

national and regional conferences or 

similar meetings. (3) SOAR resources 

will help inform practitioners and 

professionals who work in the public 

health field. (4) SOAR training for U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) personnel is similar to 

SOAR Online but tailored to HHS staff. 

(5) Emerging issues webinars are 

available to the public but targeted to 

public health professionals, including 

health and human service providers. 

Tier II of SOAR targets respondents 

through a blended online training to 

individuals who plan to incorporate the 

content into their organization’s policies 

and best practices. Organizations can 

also add the SOAR Online training to 

their learning management systems. 

Tier III of SOAR engages respondents 

through intensive, in-person T/TA via 

SOAR for Communities. The goal is to 

provide strategic planning and goal 

setting in communities looking to 

improve their response to trafficking. 

NHTTAC Consultants: T/TA expert 

consultants are subject matter experts 

with at least 7 years of relevant 

professional experience. Survivor 

impact consultants are individuals who 

have experienced human trafficking. 

Each category has distinct qualifications 

and eligibility requirements that are 

fielded through an online application 

process.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity 

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research,

ACTION: Request for Public Comment. 

TITLE: Temporary Assistance for Needy 

Families (TANF) Data Innovations (TDI) 

Project (New Collection). 

The Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF) within the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) proposes to collect 

information as part of the TANF Data 

Innovations (TDI) project. TDI is an 

investment to expand the integration, 

analysis, and use of TANF data to 

improve program administration, 

payment integrity, and outcomes for 

participants. 

TDI will start by assessing the needs 

and readiness of TANF agencies across 

the country to set up and operate data 

systems to support program 

improvement. A key goal of the needs 

assessment is to help categorize states’ 

readiness to effectively use data and 

produce evidence. Informed by this 

assessment and discussions with key 

stakeholders, TDI will support a broad 

learning collaborative of state agencies 

and other entities related to the TANF 

program, including a range of Technical 

Assistance (TA) options to help states 

improve their use of TANF and other 

program data. 

This information collection request 

will consist of a needs assessment 

survey to be completed by state TANF 

agency administrators and staff to gather 

detailed information about their 

capacities and needs. These data will 

help HHS to better understand the 

challenges and barriers states face in 

using data and research to inform 

program decision-making, and they will 

help the TDI team design future 

technical assistance activities for TANF 

agencies to address states’ challenges. 

Respondents: State TANF 

Administrators and TANF agency staff. 

We expect four respondents per state or 

territory.
