Abstract:
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Refugee Resettlement’s (ORR) Unaccompanied Children (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 must meet State licensing standards (with the exception of temporary emergency facilities and facilities located in states that are unwilling to license facilities caring for UC) and 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 Family Reunification Packet (FRP) for Sponsors of UC information collection contains four instruments that allow ORR to collect information necessary to determine the suitability of a proposed sponsor for a UC 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)). ORR is seeking to improve sponsor engagement and communication by expanding language access for the instruments in this information collection. The instruments are currently available in • English • Spanish • Dari • Haitian Creole • Pashto • Russian • Ukrainian Under this request, ORR proposes expanding available languages to also include the following indigenous Mayan languages: • Chuj • Kaqchikel • K’iche’ • Mam • Q’eqchi’ None of the approved content within the instruments has changed as a result of the translations. ACF also moved all translations under each specific IC for reporting burden (as opposed to under the overarching supplementary documents section).
