Abstract: ORR’s UC Program provides care and custody for UC until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to UC in ORR custody. Care provider facilities are State licensed, with the exception of temporary influx care facilities, and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. The instruments included in this information collection are directly relate to the care of UC for processing pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act. These instruments allow ORR to provide services to UC as required by statute and ORR policy. This nonsubstantive change request is ORR is proposing revisions to the following four instruments contained in this information collection: • Sponsor Assessment (Form S-5) – This is a Word form used to conduct an in-depth suitability assessment of a potential sponsor to ensure a safe release for the UC. • New Sponsor (Form S-7) – This form is located within UC Portal (ORR’s case management system) and is used to link a potential sponsor to a UC and enter basic information about the potential sponsor and their household. • UC Assessment (Form S-11) – This UC Portal form is used to conduct an in-depth assessment that is used to inform provision of services, screen for trafficking or other safety concerns, and identify special needs. This form also contains a section that documents information about the potential sponsor. • UC Case Review (Form S-12) – This UC Portal form is used to document new information obtained after completion of the UC Assessment. The form also contains a section that documents information about the potential sponsor. All four of these forms contain information about the potential sponsor. ORR proposes consolidating all sponsor-related fields into one location in UC Portal. The New Sponsor form and Sponsor Assessment will be merged into one Sponsor Assessment form in UC Portal. In addition, sponsor-related fields in the UC Assessment and UC Case Review will be moved into the new UC Portal Sponsor Assessment. ORR also made revisions to the new UC Portal Sponsor Assessment.
