Abstract: This is a requirement for a revision and renewal of OMB control number 9000-0188, Combating Trafficking in Persons. Executive Order (E.O.) 13627, entitled Strengthening Protections Against Trafficking in Persons in Federal Contracts, dated September 25, 2012 (77 FR 60029, October 2, 2012) and Title XVII of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Pub. L. 112-239, enacted January 2, 2013) strengthen the long standing zero-tolerance policy of the United States regarding Government employees and contractor personnel engaging in any form of trafficking in persons. Contractors are required to inform the contracting officer and the agency Inspector General of any credible information they receives 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.

Short Statement: The decrease of responses from 8,536 to 5,934 and the associated decrease in the estimated burden hours for the reporting requirements from 35,764 to 25,722 is an adjustment due to the following: - Use of the most current data available; and - A different methodology for estimating the number of notifications that uses data from Department of State’s annual Trafficking in Persons report resulting in a more accurate burden estimate. The decrease of recordkeepers from 5,864 to 5,768 and the associated decrease in the estimated burden hours from 140,736 to 138,432 is an adjustment to use of the most current data available.
