Any Associated Form(s) 

OMB Control #9000–0188, Combating 

Trafficking in Persons. 

B. Need and Uses 

This clearance covers the information

Persons 

Notification. Paragraph (d) of this 

clause requires contractors to notify the 

contracting officer and the agency 

Inspector General of— 

• Any credible information they 

receive from any source that alleges a 

contractor employee, subcontractor, or 

subcontractor employee, or their agent 

has engaged in conduct that violates the 

policy in paragraph (b) of the clause 

52.222–50; and 

• Any actions taken against a 

contractor employee, subcontractor, 

subcontractor employee, or their agent 

pursuant to this clause. 

Compliance Plan and Annual 

Certification. Paragraph (h) of the clause 

contains an additional requirement for 

contracts for supplies (other than 

commercially available off-the-shelf 

(COTS) items) to be acquired outside the 

United States and contracts for services 

to be performed outside the United 

States, with an estimated value 

exceeding $550,000, where the 

contractor is to maintain a compliance 

plan during the performance of the 

contract. This compliance plan must 

include an awareness program, a 

process for employees to report activity 

inconsistent with the zero-tolerance 

policy, a recruitment and wage plan, a 

housing plan, and procedures to prevent 

subcontractors from engaging in 

trafficking in persons. 

• Contractors are required to provide 

the compliance plan to the contracting 

officer upon request. 

• Contractors are required to submit a 

certification to the contracting officer 

annually after receiving an award, 

asserting that they have the required 

compliance plan in place and that there 

have been no abuses, or that appropriate 

actions have been taken if abuses have 

been found. 

• For those subcontractors required to 

submit a certification (see next bullet on 

flow down), contractors shall require 

that submission prior to award of the 

subcontract and annually thereafter. 

Portions of this clause flows down to 

all subcontractors. The requirements 

related to the compliance plan only flow 

down to subcontracts exceeding 

$550,000 for supplies (other than COTS 

items) acquired and services performed 

outside the United States. 

This clause applies to commercial 

acquisitions, except the portions related 

to the compliance plan do not apply to 

acquisitions of COTS items. 

52.222–56, Certification Regarding 

Trafficking in Persons Compliance Plan 

This provision requires apparently 

successful offerors to submit a 

certification, prior to award, that they 

have implemented a compliance plan

if abuses have been found. 

The provision requires this 

certification for the portion of contracts 

exceeding $550,000 for supplies (other 

than COTS items) acquired and services 

performed outside the United States. 

This provision applies to commercial 

acquisitions, except acquisitions of 

COTS items. 

FAR 52.222–50, paragraph (d)—

notification of potential violations of 

trafficking in persons requirements to 

investigate and take appropriate action

Proposed Project 

Promoting Adolescent Health through 

School-Based HIV/STD Prevention 

Reporting Templates (OMB Control No. 

0920–1329, Exp. 3/31/2024)— 

Revision—National Center for HIV, 

Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention 

(NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

PS18–1807 Promoting Adolescent 

Health through School-Based HIV/STD 

Prevention was awarded August 1, 2018 

with a five year project period. It has 

been extended into a sixth year, and is 

funded through the Division of 

Adolescent and School Health (DASH). 

Health behaviors during adolescence set 

the stage for behaviors and health into 

adulthood. In 2017, 40% of high school 

students in the U.S. had ever had sexual 

intercourse and 29% were currently 

sexually active. Among currently 

sexually active students, 46% did not 

use a condom, and 14% did not use any 

method to prevent pregnancy the last 

time they had sexual intercourse. In 

2016, young people aged 13–24 

accounted for an estimated 21% of all 

new HIV diagnoses in the United States. 

Half of the nearly 20 million new STDs 

reported each year were among young 

people aged 15–24. Schools have direct 

contact with over 50 million students 

for at least six hours a day over 13 key 

years of their social, physical, and 

intellectual development. Schools can 

help understand and prevent adolescent 

risk for HIV, STD and teen pregnancy. 

Schools play an important role in HIV/ 

STD prevention, and can influence 

students’ risk for HIV infection and 

other STD through parental engagement, 

health education, connection to 

physical and mental health services, 

and connecting youth to each other and 

important adults. 

The PS18–1807 award supports 

implementation of activities at multiple 

levels of the education system to 

achieve health goals. School curricula, 

policies, and services are generally 

locally determined by local education 

agencies (LEA), or local school districts, 

with guidance from state education 

agencies (SEA). LEA and SEA both 

provide training, resources, and 

technical assistance to schools. SEA 

establish supportive state environments 

for local decision making about school 

policies and practices. LEA support 

implementation of school-based 

strategies through district level actions 

and decisions. Recognizing the 

importance of locally tailoring 

approaches, PS18–1807 uses priority 

schools within a district, or LEA, as a 

natural laboratory for working through 

program implementation details before 

scaling up—or diffusing—activities to 

all schools in a district. This approach 

supports close connections with 

decision-makers responsible for 

educational options and school 

environments at each of these levels. 

Additional support from organizations 

with specialized expertise and capacity 

for national reach will be used to 

increase the impact of SEA and LEA 

strategies. They provide a range of 

highly trained experts for professional 

development and technical assistance to 

advance HIV/STD prevention work. 

CDC requests OMB approval for an 

Extension of one year to conduct three 

information collections titled, 

Promoting Adolescent Health through 

School-Based HIV/STD Prevention 

Reporting Templates. There are separate 

reporting templates and work plan 

templates for Component 1 reporting 

and for Component 2 reporting. Eighty 

(80) sites will be filling out the 

Component 1 reporting template and
