Abstract:
Executive Order 14011 (E.O. 14011), Establishment of Interagency Task Force on the Reunification of Families, in response to the prior Administration’s use of immigration laws to intentionally separate children from their parents and legal guardians (families), including through the use of the Zero-Tolerance Policy. E.O. 14011 directs the Interagency Task Force on the Reunification of Families (Task Force) to identify children who were separated and facilitate and enable the reunification of the families. Additionally, E.O. 14011 directs the Task Force to provide recommendations on providing additional services and support for the reunified families, including behavioral health services with a focus on trauma-informed care. The Secretary of Homeland Security is the chair of the Task Force and is joined by the Department of State, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Justice. To carry out the Task Force role to reunify families, DHS is proposing this new data collection. The purpose is to achieve efficiencies to process these individuals for a successful family reunification. To streamline the reunification travel coordination process, the Task Force plans to collect details in advance of travel, information the Task Force needs to make arrangement for the beneficiary and coordination with stakeholders.

Emergency Justfication:
Executive Order 14011 (E.O. 14011), Establishment of Interagency Task Force on the Reunification of Families, in response to the prior Administration’s use of immigration laws to intentionally separate children from their parents and legal guardians (families), including through the use of the Zero-Tolerance Policy. E.O. 14011 directs the Interagency Task Force on the Reunification of Families (Task Force) to identify children who were separated and facilitate and enable the reunification of the families. Because family reunification is currently ongoing, it is vital that DHS implement the information collection as soon as possible in order to collect the necessary travel information for a smooth coordination process for all families traveling to be reunified with their separated children. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) implementing regulations at 5 C.F.R. § 1320.13: (1) this information is necessary to the mission of the agency, (2) this information is necessary prior to the time periods established under PRA, (3) public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed, and (4)an unanticipated event has occurred.
