DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 9154]


 Request for Input for Revisions to the ``Know Your Rights'' 
Pamphlet, Also Known as the Wilberforce Pamphlet

SUMMARY: The Department of State (``the Department'') is planning to 
update the ``Know Your Rights'' pamphlet created by the U.S. government 
in 2009 pursuant to the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims 
Protection Reauthorization Act (Pub. L. 110-457) and requests written 
recommendations on how the pamphlet could be improved. The pamphlet 
reaffirms and strengthens the U.S. government's commitment to fight 
human trafficking and labor abuses, and its purpose is to provide 
information on the legal rights and resources available to individuals 
seeking employment- or education-based nonimmigrant visas to the United 
States. The pamphlet can be found here: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/general/rights-protections-temporary-workers.html. The Department is not seeking to make major changes to 
the pamphlet as much of the pamphlet's language is mandated in the law 
and has been translated into numerous languages; however, the 
Department values feedback on the current pamphlet and recommendations 
for improvements from stakeholders in the revision process. Submissions 
must be made in writing to the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking 
in Persons at the Department of State by July 6, 2015. Please refer to 
the ADDRESSES, Scope of Interest, and Information Sought sections of 
this Notice for additional instructions on submission requirements.
