Abstract:
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children 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 children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to license them and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet 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. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to place unaccompanied alien children referred to ORR by federal agencies into care provider facilities and to transfer children within the ORR care provider network. ACF is requesting emergency review and approval by OMB to update two forms approved under this information collection, as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13. ACF is requesting approval as soon as possible due to secure beds becoming available on September 15, 2025 and requests 180 days of approval, during which time a full revision request will be submitted under normal procedures under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The information collection is essential to the mission of the agency, the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information, and public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures are followed. For additional information see Attachment A.

Short Statement:
ORR is proposing changes to the Notice of Placement in a Restrictive Setting (Form P-4) and Unaccompanied Child Referral (aka Intakes Placement Checklist) (Form P-7). The proposed changes are related to current administration priorities, to align the placement criteria in forms with the criteria found in 45 CFR 410.1105 and UAC Policy Guide Sections 1.2.4 and 1.4.6 and to meet requirements in the Lucas R. Disabilities Settlement Agreement (Case No. 2:18-CV-05741 DMG PLA), and Flores litigation (Case No. CV85-4544-RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996)). Details about changes can be found in SSA section A15. ORR updated the burden hours for all forms to reflect a decrease in the number of children referred to ORR and a decrease in the number of care provider facilities. ORR also updated the estimated costs for all forms to reflect more recent wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Finally, ORR updated the average burden hours per response for the Notice of Placement in a Restrictive Setting (Form P-4) from 0.33 hours to 0.5 hours.
