Abstract: The Monitoring and Compliance for Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Care Provider Facilities information collection consists of several forms that allow the Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program to monitor its care provider facilities for compliance with Federal and State laws and regulations, licensing and accreditation standards, ORR policies and procedures, and child welfare standards. Currently, there are two versions of a questionnaire for UCs ages 6-12 and ages 13 and older (UC Questionnaires, Forms M-12A and M-12B, respectively). ORR is proposing to include an alternate version of the UC questionnaire for UCs aged 5 and under. The alternate form (Form M-12E) is designed to gather information on the same topics as the current forms, but the version for 6-12-year-old UCs has been modified to be more child-friendly for children 5 and under.

Emergency Justfication: Consistent with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and OMB procedures, the Department requests approval for emergency processing for Monitoring and Compliance forms for the Unaccompanied Children program. On January 21, 2021, the Department published a Notice of Request for Public Comment for the forms, initiating a 60-day period for the public to submit comments on the information collection. The 60-day comment period ends on March 22, 2021. The monitoring and compliance forms are necessary for the program to meet its statutory obligations (Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 279). The Department requests emergency OMB approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.13 in order for the monitoring and compliance forms to be used by ORR field offices while public comment is being sought. The Department plans to complete the ongoing PRA process for the three-year approval of the monitoring and compliance forms since approval based on emergency processing under the PRA is only granted for a maximum of 180 days, until August 2021.
