Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; National Human Trafficking 

Hotline (NHTH) Performance Indicators 

AGENCY: Office on Trafficking in 

Persons, Administration for Children 

and Families, Health and Human 

Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) is 

requesting approval for a new 

information collection: National Human 

Trafficking Hotline (NHTH) 

Performance Indicators. 

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of 

publication. In compliance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Administration for Children and 

Families is soliciting public comment 

on the specific aspects of the 

information collection described above. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed 

collection of information can be 

obtained and comments may be 

forwarded by emailing infocollection@

acf.hhs.gov. Alternatively, copies can 

also be obtained by writing to the 

Administration for Children and 

Families, Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation (OPRE), 330 C Street 

SW, Washington, DC 20201, Attn: ACF 

Reports Clearance Officer. All requests, 

emailed or written, should be identified 

by the title of the information collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: Section 107(b)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 

2000, as amended at 22 U.S.C. 

7105(b)(1)(B)(ii), authorizes the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

(HHS) to make a grant for a national 

communication system—the NHTH—to 

assist victims of severe forms of 

trafficking in persons in seeking help, 

receiving referrals, and reporting 

potential trafficking cases. 

HHS made an award in the form of a 

Cooperative Agreement to a single, 

competitively selected grantee to 

maintain and support operation of the 

NHTH throughout the United States and 

U.S. territories. The NHTH is a toll-free 

hotline that operates 24 hours a day, 

every day of the year. 

The Cooperative Agreement 

delineates the roles and responsibilities 

for the administration of the grant 

program, which include: 

1. Operating the NHTH with 

experienced and trained anti-trafficking 

advocates; 

2. Operating the NHTH website and 

responding to online signals; 

3. Promoting NHTH services to 

increase the identification and 

protection of victims of severe forms of 

human trafficking; 

4. Providing timely information and 

service referrals to human trafficking 

victims using a trauma-informed, 

person-centered, culturally responsive, 

and linguistically appropriate approach; 

5. Notifying law enforcement agencies 

of potential cases of human trafficking 

as well as instances when a trafficking 

victim is in imminent danger; and 

6. Documenting emerging trafficking 

schemes to assist in the detection and 

investigation of trafficking cases. 

The NHTH grantee collects 

information about signalers (individuals 

who contact the hotline) and from 

signalers regarding potential victims of 

a severe form of trafficking in persons 

and human trafficking cases. Given the 

unique relationship the NHTH has to 

the public, OTIP is seeking clearance to 

collect information about and from 

these signalers that will be summarized 

and reported to OTIP by the NHTH 

grantee in the aggregate. The NHTH 

Performance Indicators information 

collection will provide data for OTIP to 

assess the extent to which the grantee 

meets required program activities to: 

• Ensure potential victims of 

trafficking remain able to access 

assistance by constantly monitoring and 

mitigating factors impacting NHTH 

operations; 

• Assist the grantee to assess and 

improve their project over the course of 

the project period; 

• Disseminate insights related to 

human trafficking cases and trends to 

inform anti-trafficking strategies and 

policies; and

38490 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 137 / Wednesday, July 21, 2021 / Notices 

• Provide information to Congress, 

other federal agencies, stakeholders, the 

public, and other countries on the 

aggregate outputs and outcomes of the 

NHTH operations. 

Respondents: Potential victims, 

representatives of governmental entities, 

law enforcement, first responders, 

members of the community, 

representatives of nongovernmental 

entities providing social, legal, or 

protective services to individuals in the 

United States who may have been 

subjected to severe forms of trafficking 

in persons utilize the NHTH as 

signalers.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Early Head Start Family and 

Child Experiences Survey 2022 (Baby 

FACES 2022) (OMB #0970–0354) 

AGENCY: Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, Administration for 

Children and Families, HHS. 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) seeks approval to 

continue to collect descriptive 

information for the Early Head Start 

Family and Child Experiences Survey 

2022 (Baby FACES 2022). This 

information collection is to provide 

nationally representative data on Early 

Head Start (EHS) programs, centers, 

classrooms, staff, and families to guide 

program planning, technical assistance, 

and research. This data collection will 

complete the previously approved 

second round of data collection 

originally planned to take place in 2020 

(OMB 0970–0354). The work began in 

early 2020 but had to be postponed after 

only 3 weeks due to the COVID–19 

pandemic. No changes are proposed to 

the currently approved information 

collection materials. 

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of 

publication. In compliance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting 

public comment on the specific aspects 

of the information collection described 

above. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed 

collection of information can be 

obtained and comments may be 

forwarded by emailing 

OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov. 

Alternatively, copies can also be 

obtained by writing to the 

Administration for Children and 

Families, Office of Planning, Research, 

and Evaluation, 330 C Street SW, 

Washington, DC 20201, Attn: OPRE 

Reports Clearance Officer. All requests, 

emailed or written, should be identified 

by the title of the information collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: Baby FACES 2018 and 

2022 build upon a prior study (Baby 

FACES 2009; OMB 0970–0354) that 

longitudinally followed two cohorts of 

children through their experience in the 

program. While the 2009 study provided 

a great deal of information about 

program participation over time and 

about services received by children and 

families, it did not allow for national 

level estimates of service quality or 

inferences about children who enter the 

program after 15 months of age. To fill 

these knowledge gaps and to answer 

additional questions about how 

programs function, the design for the 

information collection in 2022 will 

refresh the nationally representative 

cross-sectional sample of programs, 

centers, home visitors, teachers, 

classrooms, children, and families that 

was used in Baby FACES 2018. 

Freshening the sample will allow new 

programs that came into being since 

2018 a chance to enter the study. This 

design allows for nationally 

representative estimates at all levels at 

a point in time and includes the entire 

age span of enrolled children. 

The goal of this work is to obtain 

updated information on EHS programs 

and understand better how program 

processes support relationships (e.g., 

between home visitors and parents, 

between parents and children, and 

between teachers and children) that are 

hypothesized to lead to improved child 

and family outcomes. 

Respondents: EHS program directors, 

child care center directors, teachers and 

home visitors, and parents of enrolled 

children.
