Abstract:
The “Administration and Oversight of the Unaccompanied Alien Children Program” information collection contains eight instruments that allow ORR to facilitate stakeholder visits to care provider facilities; obtain consent from unaccompanied children (UC) to share their case file information; improve service delivery to UC; and ensure that serious issues are elevated to ORR and that all incidents and the response to such incidents are documented and resolved in a way that protects the best interests of UC. The collection was last approved by OMB on January 1, 2021 and expires on January 31, 2024. ORR proposes revisions to four instruments in the collection that are related to incident reporting – Emergency Significant Incident Reports (SIR), SIR, Sexual Abuse SIR, and Program-Level Event Reports. The proposed revisions will assist in clarifying reporting requirements and address the following issues: • Many types of incidents that ORR requires care providers to report upon do not have their own category checkbox or dropdown field; care providers must use the “Other” category checkbox and specify the type of incident in a text field. This may create confusion for care providers and ORR staff around reporting requirements and makes it more difficult for ORR to analyze aggregate data from incident reports. • Incidents of alleged abuse/neglect (non-sexual) and behavioral incidents that threaten safety are currently reported via a standard SIR. However, depending upon the circumstances and egregiousness of the act, incidents are better classified as an emergency. ORR also proposes removing the word “alien” from the title of the information collection, thereby changing it to “Administration and Oversight of the Unaccompanied Children Program,” The proposed revisions do not create any additional reporting burdens for care provider or ORR staff.
