Reinstating NHTTAC Feedback Collection
The Office on Trafficking in Persons is requesting to reinstate OMB approval for the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center Evaluation Package (OMB #: 0970-0519) so data collection can resume. This will restart collecting feedback from NHTTAC participants (including OTIP grant recipients, SOAR Demonstration Grant recipients, individuals with lived experience, and healthcare, behavioral health, public health, and human service practitioners) and comments are due by August 10, 2026.
Estimated Respondent Time Burden
The notice lists estimated respondent counts and time burdens for the evaluation instruments and reports a total estimated annual burden of 10,530 hours. Example line items include: Universal T/TA Participant — 1,500 respondents at 0.43 hours each; Long/Short Version — 225,000 responses at 0.10 hours each; Intensive T/TA Participant — 600 respondents at 1.17 hours each.
SOAR Grant Recipients Included
The SOAR Demonstration Grant Program recipients are explicitly included: feedback from SOAR grant recipients who participate in NHTTAC SOAR offerings will be collected through instruments approved in this evaluation package, and burden estimates have been adjusted to account for them. This ties SOAR implementation activities to the NHTTAC evaluation instruments.
