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 as required by the Homeland Security Act (6 U.S.C. 279), the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act 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 21, 2022 and expires on April 30, 2025. ORR consistently works to improve data collection activities and update approved collections to improve usability, reduce burden, improve data quality, among other purposes. Recently ORR performed an analysis of languages used by unaccompanied children. This work along with other review of the forms approved under this information collection has led to some minor updates. Updates intend to 1) improve usability of the forms, 2) align data requested with recent policy and procedure updates, 3) reduce burden while improving data quality, and 4) ensure the collection is up to date to only include forms that are in use. ORR is proposing changes to three instruments under this collection: • Sponsor Care Agreement (Form S-5) • Initial Intakes Assessment (Form S-8) • 30-Day Restrictive Placement Case Review (Form S-16)

Cutting Redundancy
Short Statement:
ORR proposes removing Form S-16 from the information collection. ORR recently revised its Notice of Placement in a Restrictive Setting (Form P-4, approved under OMB# 0970-0554) and those revisions included merging fields from Form S-16 into Form P-4. With those revisions, Form S-16 became redundant and ORR discontinued its use.
