Case management services must be provided to qualified persons directly by full-time case managers that are staffed by the prime recipient and may also be provided through a network of per capita service providers. OTIP proposes to continue to collect information to measure grant project performance, provide technical assistance to grant recipients, assess program outcomes, inform program evaluation, respond to congressional inquiries and mandated reports, and inform policy and program development that is responsive to the needs of victims. The information collection captures information on participant demographics ( <E T="03">e.g.,</E> age, sex, type of trafficking experienced, service location) and services provided, along with aggregate information on outreach activities conducted, subrecipients enrolled, and dollars spent per service. Minor nonsubstantive updates have been made to performance indicators under this collection to simplify response options or to bring the collection into alignment with OTIP's grant recipient reporting database, the Anti-Trafficking Information Management System (ATIMS). <E T="03">Respondents:</E> TVAP grant recipients and clients of those programs, specifically: TVAP and the Aspire: Child Trafficking Victim Assistance Demonstration Program funding recipients. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Annual Burden Estimates</HD> Based on review of performance data received pertaining to the number of clients served through TVAP programs and funding levels, the total number of respondents for each form has been lowered. The time to complete each form remains the same. <GPOTABLE COLS="6" OPTS="L2,tp0,i1" CDEF="s50,12,13,13,12,12"> <TTITLE> </TTITLE> <CHED H="1">Instrument</CHED> <CHED H="1">Total number of respondents</CHED> <CHED H="1"> Total number of <ENT I="01">Client Characteristics and Program Entry</ENT> <ENT>5300</ENT> <ENT>1</ENT> <ENT>0.75</ENT> <ENT>3975</ENT> <ENT>1325</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="01">Client Case Closure</ENT> <ENT>5300</ENT> <ENT>1</ENT> <ENT>0.167</ENT> <ENT>885</ENT> <ENT>295</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="01">Barriers to Service Delivery and Monitoring</ENT> <ENT>120</ENT> <ENT>4</ENT> <ENT>0.167</ENT> <ENT>80</ENT> <ENT>27</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="01">Client Service Use and Delivery</ENT> <ENT>5300</ENT> <ENT>1</ENT> <ENT>0.25</ENT> <ENT>1325</ENT> <ENT>442</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="01">Client Outreach</ENT> <ENT>0.3</ENT> <ENT>144</ENT> <ENT>48</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="01">Subrecipient Enrollment</ENT> <ENT>60</ENT> <ENT>3</ENT> <ENT>0.167</ENT> <ENT>30</ENT> <ENT>10</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="01">Client Service Costs</ENT> <ENT>0.5</ENT> <ENT>30</ENT> <ENT>10</ENT> </ROW> </GPOTABLE> <E T="03">Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:</E> 2,157. <E T="03">Authority:</E> 22 U.S.C. 7105 <SIG> <NAME>Mary C.
