Abstract: The Services Provided to Unaccompanied Children information collection contains 22 instruments that allow ORR to collect information necessary to provide services to Unaccompanied Children (UC) as required by the Homeland Security Act (6 U.S.C. 279), the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232), and the Flores Settlement Agreement (No. CV85-4544-RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996)). The collection was last approved by OMB on April 28, 2022 and expires on April 30, 2025. On November 18, 2018, Plaintiffs filed their class action lawsuit, captioned Duchitanga v. Huang (No. 18 Civ. 10332 (PAC) (JW)), asserting claims under the TVPRA, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act. The lawsuit alleged that ORR’s policy established fingerprinting requirements for sponsors and household members which led to delays in the release of UC. The Parties executed a Settlement Agreement and the court approved on May 5, 2022. As part of the Settlement Agreement, ORR is obligated to meet certain deadlines relating to the scheduling and processing of sponsor’s and household members’ fingerprints, and to provide monthly reports demonstrating compliance with those terms. ORR is proposing several revisions to the UC Case Status form, which is located within ORR’s case management system, UC Portal. The purpose of the UC Case Status is to allow case managers to monitor the status of high-level milestones in the UC’s case. This form is largely auto-populated with a handful of fillable fields. The proposed revisions described below will allow ORR to comply with the Duchitanga Settlement Agreement, have a centralized place to document the information of the case manager assigned to the UC, and improve the organization of the form.
