Abstract:
The Services Provided to Unaccompanied Children information collection contains 22 instruments that allow the Office of Refugee Resettlement (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 is proposing changes to one form in this collection, the Home Study/Post-Release Service (HS/PRS) Referral (Form S-19). The currently approved version of the HS/PRS Referral (Form S-19) was developed for UC Path, an alternative case management system that ORR has not rolled out and therefore does not align with existing forms in the UC Portal, its current case management system. Approval of a UC Portal version will allow ORR to come into compliance with Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) requirements. Additionally, ORR solicited feedback and completed testing activities, as approved under the “Feedback for Post-Release Service (PRS) Solution Development and Iteration” information collection (0970-0401) and has identified improvements to improve user experience.

Short Statement:
ORR is proposing nonsubstantive changes that will: 1. Align the HS/PRS Referral with the existing version in the UC Portal system. The form will be split into two separate forms – PRS Referral (Form S-19) and Home Study Referral (Form S-26). 2. Create an appendix to the PRS Referral (Form S-19) that will improve user experience and create efficiencies for completing administrative actions needed to process PRS cases. Additionally, the supporting statement A burden table was updated
