    Description: OTIP awards cooperative agreements for grantees to

severe form of trafficking in persons who have received or are actively 
pursuing HHS Certification or Eligibility and their qualified family 
members (e.g., minor dependent children of victims or family members 
with derivative T visas), as authorized in the Trafficking Victims 
Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7105(b)(1)(B)). Grantees provide 
services to qualified persons through a national network of 
subrecipient organizations.
    OTIP proposes to collect information to measure grant project 
performance, provide technical assistance to grantees, assess program 
outcomes, improve program evaluation, respond to congressional 
inquiries and mandated reports, and inform policy and program 
development that is responsive to the needs of victims.
    The information collection captures information on participant 
demographics (e.g., age, sex, and country of origin), types of 
trafficking experienced (sex, labor, or both), types of client 
enrollment, types of services and benefits provided along with 
aggregate information on the amount of money spent on each type of 
service provided, the types of entities providing medical services, the 
amount of money provided to those entities, the amount of money 
expended on each type of client enrollment, types of partnerships 
developed through the grant with subrecipients, and the types of 
training and technical assistance provided to subrecipient 
organizations or other partners.
    Respondents: Trafficking Victim Assistance Program Grantees.
