Abstract: This request is for an extension with revisions of an approved collection, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 0970-0467. Current OMB approval of the collection expires on February 28, 2026. Minor, nonsubstantive updates have been made to performance indicators under this collection to simplify response options and to bring the collection into alignment with the Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) grant recipient reporting database, the Anti-Trafficking Information Management System (ATIMS). Additionally, based on review of performance data received, specifically the average number of clients served by funded recipients over the last four years, and the sunset of the Lighthouse: Services, Outreach, and Awareness for Labor Trafficking (Lighthouse) Demonstration Program in October 2025, burden estimates for this collection have been reduced.
