Abstract:
The “Administration and Oversight of the Unaccompanied Children Program” information collection contains 12 instruments that allow the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to facilitate stakeholder visits to care provider facilities; obtain consent from unaccompanied children to share their case file information; improve service delivery to children; and ensure that serious issues are elevated to ORR and that all incidents and the response to such incidents are documented and resolved in a way that protects the best interests of unaccompanied children; and process requests and waivers for the hiring of key and non-key personnel at care provider programs. The collection was last approved by OMB on May 18, 2022, and the current expiration date is May 31, 2025. ORR is proposing to revise form Notification of Concern (NOC) (Form A-7) to correspond with revisions made to UC Policy Guide Section 4.3.5 and ensure consistency across forms used for documenting serious incidents concerning unaccompanied children while in ORR custody and post-release. The NOC is completed by care providers, post-release service providers, or by ORR National Call Center staff to document the occurrence of a concerning incident impacting a released child and/or their sponsor. Currently proposed changes provide clarified instruction to the respondent, reorganize the structure of the information collection, and offer more specific sub-category options for respondents to select when completing the form. The updates do not change the purpose or use or the data collection and do not include requests for new types of information. Additionally, there are no resulting changes to burden estimates.
