Primary data for the evaluation will 

be collected via surveys with project 

directors, case managers, and key 

community partners; and semistructured qualitative interviews, 

including telephone interviews with 

project directors, in-person interviews 

with select project staff, survivor 

leaders, and program partners, and 

individual interviews with program 

clients. Interviews from multiple 

perspectives will enhance the 

government’s understanding of 

appropriate service models and practice 

strategies for identifying, engaging, and 

meeting the needs of diverse 

populations of victims of severe forms 

of human trafficking. Data collection 

will take place after receiving OMB 

approval through March 2020. 

Data collection for an exploratory 

evaluation of the DVHT FY15 grantees 

(‘‘Domestic Human Trafficking 

Demonstration Projects’’) is being 

conducted under a prior Information 

Collection Request under 0970–0487. 

The data have provided insight into 

approaches grantees used to enhance 

organizational and community capacity, 

identify domestic victims, and deliver 

case management and direct services in 

collaboration with their community 

partners. The currently proposed data 

collection for DVHT FY16 will build on 

this earlier data collection for the DVHT 

FY15 study to understand strategies and 

program models implemented by the 

grantees in various program contexts. 

All data collection approved for DVHT 

FY15 is complete. 

Respondents: Project directors, case 

managers, survivor leaders, other select 

project staff, key community partners, 

and clients.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: 2019 National Survey of Early 

Care and Education 

OMB No.: 0970–0391 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), is proposing a data 

collection activity as part of the 

National Survey of Early Care and 

Education (NSECE) which will be 

conducted October 2018 through August 

2019. The objective of the NSECE is to 

document the nation’s current supply of 

early care and education services (that 

is, home-based providers, center-based 

providers, and the center-based provider 

workforce). The 2019 NSECE will 

collect information on child care and 

early education providers that serve 

families with children from birth to 13 

years in the country, as well as the early 

care and education (ECE) workforce 

providing these services. The proposed 

collection will consist of three 

coordinated nationally representative 

surveys: 

1. A survey of individuals providing 

care for children under the age of 13 in 

a residential setting (Home-based 

Provider Interview), 

2. a survey of providers of care to 

children ages 0 through 5 years of age 

(not yet in kindergarten) in a nonresidential setting (Center-based 

Provider Interview), and 

3. a survey conducted with 

individuals employed in center-based 

child care programs working directly 

with children in classrooms (Workforce 

Interview). 

Both the home-based and centerbased provider surveys will require a 

screener to determine eligibility for the 

main survey. 

The 2019 NSECE data collection 

efforts will provide urgently needed 

information about the supply of child 

care and early education available to 

families across all income levels, 

including providers serving low-income 

families of various racial, ethnic, 

language, and cultural backgrounds, in 

diverse geographic areas. The provider 

data will include programs that do or do 

not participate in the child care subsidy 

program, are regulated, registered, or 

otherwise appear in state or national 

lists and are home-based providers or 

center-based programs (e.g., private, 

community-based child care, Head 

Start, and state or local Pre-K). Accurate 

data on the availability and 

characteristics of early care and 

education programs are essential to 

assess the current and changing 

landscape of child care and early 

education programs since the 2012 

NSECE data collection, and to provide

insights to advance policy and 

initiatives in the ECE field. 

Respondents: Home-based providers 

serving children under 13 years, centerbased child care providers (including 

public schools) serving children ages 0 

through 5 years of age (not yet in 

kindergarten), and selected instructional 

staff members from these center-based 

child care providers.
