National Human Trafficking Hotline Background
How to Use This Workbook
Section 107(b)(1)(B)(ii) of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA), as amended at 22 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(1)(B)(ii), authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make a grant for a national communication system—the National Human Trafficking Hotline (NHTH)—to assist victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons in seeking help, receiving referrals, and reporting potential trafficking cases.

The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) made an award in the form of a Cooperative Agreement to a single, competitively selected grant recipient 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.

Hotline Advocates who operate the NHTH collect information about signalers (individuals who contact the Hotline) and from signalers regarding potential victims of a severe form of trafficking in persons and potential human trafficking cases. Given the unique relationship the NHTH has to the public, OTIP sought clearance to collect information about and from these signalers that will be summarized and reported to OTIP by the NHTH grant recipient in the aggregate. This information collected through this information collection is necessary to support the monitoring of work done through this cooperative agreement, ensure signalers receive information and support needed, provide appropriate technical assistance (TA) to the grant recipient, and to document emerging trafficking schemes.

The National Human Trafficking Hotline (NHTH) prime recipient is responsible for compiling operational and performance indicator data into detailed monthly, semi-annual, annual, and ad hoc reports as directed by OTIP to monitor the prime recipient’s progress toward accomplishing the objectives and requirements of the project and improving funded activities.

Over the course of the reporting period, the NHTH grant recipient will aggregate and submit performance indicator data to OTIP via this Excel-based data collection workbook and through GrantSolutions.gov to fulfill post-award performance reporting requirements. Each tab is labeled with the expected reporting frequency.

The NHTH grant recipient is also required to submit operational data to OTIP per the terms of the cooperative agreement, separate from this PPR-collection, on a monthly basis. The requested operational data is detailed below:

Signal Indicators
-Total number of all incoming signals received (calls, texts, chats, online tip forms, emails) received
-Total number of all substantive signals (calls, texts, chats, online tip forms, emails) received
-Total number of all incoming signals (calls, texts, chats, online tip forms, emails) received from potential victims of trafficking
-Total number of signals (calls, texts, chats, online tip forms, emails) attributable to each primary reason for contacting the NHTH (Crisis Involving Potential Victim of Human Trafficking, High Risk for Trafficking/Issues Related to Trafficking, Report a Trafficking Tip, Response to Viral Misinformation/Spoof, Request a Referral for Anti-Trafficking Services, Request for General Information on Human Trafficking, Request for Training/Technical Assistance on Topics Related to Human Trafficking, Unrelated to Trafficking)
-Total number of signals received related to High Risk/Related Issues to Trafficking (Child Abuse, Commercial Sex (Non-Trafficking), Domestic Violence, Forced Marriage, Illegal Adoption, Pornography, Runaway Homeless Youth (RHY), Sexual Abuse, Smuggling, Stalking, Suspicious Situation, Visa Fraud)

OMB Control Number: 0970-0598
Expiration Date: 10/31/2025


PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT OF 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) STATEMENT OF PUBLIC BURDEN: The National Human Trafficking Hotline 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 in order to: ensure potential victims of trafficking remain able to access assistance; disseminate insights related to human trafficking cases and trends to inform anti-trafficking strategies and policies; provide information to Congress, other federal agencies, stakeholders, the public, and other countries on the aggregate outputs and outcomes of the NHTH operations, and; to fulfill its grant reporting requirements to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average .4333 hours per signaler, including the time for explaining the reason for contacting the hotline, providing relevant details about potential trafficking concerns, and time to receive referrals. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. If you have any comments on this collection of information, please contact Vera Soto, ACF Office on Trafficking in Persons, by email at Vera.Soto @acf.hhs.gov.

MONTHLY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR REPORT

Note: In addition to and separate from the PPR-indicators listed here, the NHTH grant recipient is expected to submit monthly operational indicator reports. See the Instructions tab for additional information. The monthly performance indicator report should summarize the period beginning on the first day of the preceding month and ending on the last day of the preceding month. The report should be submitted by the fifteenth day of the second month after activities have concluded. So for example, the first monthly report for the FY 2023 fiscal year summarizes the period beginning 10/1/2022 and ending 10/31/2022 and, the report should be submitted to OTIP no later than 12/15/2022.

SEMI-ANNUAL PERFORMANCE INDICATOR REPORT

Note: The semi-annual report should be submitted twice per reporting year. The April Mid-Year Report should summarize the period beginning 10/1/2022 and ending 3/31/2023, and the October Year-End Report should summarize the period beginning 4/1/2023 and ending 9/30/2023.

ANNUAL PERFORMANCE INDICATOR REPORT

Note: The annual or year-end report should summarize the full reporting year beginning 10/1/2022 and ending 9/30/2023. The annual report should provide final, year-end figures for the monthly and semi-annual performance indicators, and the annual performance indicators identified below.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT OF 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) STATEMENT OF PUBLIC BURDEN: The National Human Trafficking Hotline 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 in order to: ensure potential victims of trafficking remain able to access assistance; disseminate insights related to human trafficking cases and trends to inform anti-trafficking strategies and policies; provide information to Congress, other federal agencies, stakeholders, the public, and other countries on the aggregate outputs and outcomes of the NHTH operations, and; to fulfill its grant reporting requirements to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average .4333 hours per signaler, including the time for explaining the reason for contacting the hotline, providing relevant details about potential trafficking concerns, and time to receive referrals. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. If you have any comments on this collection of information, please contact Vera Soto, ACF Office on Trafficking in Persons, by email at Vera.Soto @acf.hhs.gov.
