SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 54 / Tuesday, March 20, 2018 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting
(FGM/C) is a practice common in many
countries in parts of Asia, Africa and the
Middle East that can have severe,
deleterious health consequences for
women and girls. Recent studies suggest
that more than 500,000 women and girls
in the United States may have been cut
or be at risk for FGM/C based on
whether women or their mothers are
from countries with high prevalence of
FGM/C. However, this estimate was
derived using indirect techniques that
do not account for the differing
characteristics of women in the country
of origin versus those who have
migrated to the United States, or any
other factors that are likely to affect the
prevalence of FGM/C. Additional major
knowledge gaps regarding FGM/C in the
United States include: The prevalence
of FGM/C in selected communities in

full-scale survey of the health
experiences and needs of women who
live in selected communities in the
United States with high concentrations
of residents from countries where FGM/
C is widely practiced. The pilot study
will be conducted during the first year
of this project and will be used to assess
the feasibility of sampling and
recruiting methods for a hard-to-reach
population on a sensitive topic. Based
on findings from the pilot, a change
request, including necessary
translations, will be submitted to
conduct the full study during the
second and third year of this project.
The full study is planned to be
implemented in up to five community
sites in the United States. The estimated
annualized burden over the three years
of this project is 311 hours.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time to participate.

the United States with high
concentrations of residents from
countries where FGM/C is prevalent;
women’s attitudes about continuance of
the practice; and the health
characteristics and needs of women
living in the United States who have
experienced FGM/C or are at risk for
FGM/C.
This study aims to capture
information on women’s history of
FGM/C, their experiences with health
care services, and their attitudes about
continuation of the FGM/C practice.
Findings from this study will be used to
identify public health needs of women
and communities in the United States
that are affected by FGM/C, to formulate
public health strategies to meet
identified needs, and to inform
prevention efforts.
The proposed information collection
will include piloting and conducting a

process evaluation to be conducted with
the 13 FY 2016 DVHT projects that were
awarded 3-year cooperative agreements
by the Office of Trafficking in Persons
(OTIP). The intent of the DVHT Program
is to build, expand, and sustain
organizational and community capacity
to deliver trauma-informed, strengthbased, and victim-centered services for
domestic victims of severe forms of
human trafficking through coordinated
case management, a system of referrals
and the formation of community
partnerships.
The objective of the evaluation is to
describe the ways in which projects
achieve the goals of the DVHT Program
and examine types of models that serve
victims of human trafficking. Evaluation
questions are focused on understanding
project and service delivery models,
process, and implementation, including
partnership and collaboration
development; services offered to and
received by victims; strategies to
identify and engage survivors; ways
projects define and monitor program
successes and outcomes; and program

challenges, achievements, and lessons
learned. Information from the
evaluation will assist federal, state, and
community policymakers and funders
in making decisions about future
program models to serve domestic
victims of human trafficking, as well as
to refine evaluation strategies for future
programs targeting trafficking victims.
The evaluation of the DVHT Program
will document and describe projects’
implementation approaches, including
their service models and community
partnerships; services provided to
clients (i.e., victims of severe forms of
human trafficking); service delivery
practices; strategies to meet survivors’
immediate and long-term housing
needs; and approaches to engaging
survivors in program development and
service delivery.
Primary data for the evaluation will
be collected via surveys with project
directors, case managers, and projects’
key community partners; and semistructured qualitative interviews,
including telephone interviews with
project directors, in-person interviews
with select project staff, survivor
