Abstract:
The Administration for Children (ACF), Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) requests the use of emergency processing procedures in accordance with 5 CFR Section 1320.13 to expand the scope of an existing information collection under OMB control number 0970-0278, Reunification Procedures for Unaccompanied Alien Children, renamed to Sponsorship Review Procedures for Unaccompanied Alien Children. The information collection will allow ACF to conduct suitability assessments to vet potential sponsors of unaccompanied alien children in. Specifically, the information collection allows ORR to obtain biometric and biographical information from sponsors, adult members of their household, and adult caregivers identified in a sponsor care plan, where applicable. ORR in turn shares the information collected with other federal departments to conduct background checks. The information collection is essential to the mission of the agency.

Short Statement:
Revisions were made to the Family Reunification Application and Authorization for Release of Information reflect changes made to ORR background check policies through four operations directives (December 2018, March 2019, and two in June 2019). See section A15 in the Supporting Statement for additional information. ORR updated burden estimates to reflect the sharp increase in the number of UAC placed in ORR care over the past year. Burden estimates for all four instruments were calculated using data pulled from ORR’s database for April 2018 through May 2019. Additionally, the burden estimates for the Authorization for Release of Information, and Fingerprint Instructions were updated to reflect the reduction in the number of sponsors, household member, and adult caregivers who are required to submit fingerprints.
