Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) intends to continue collecting demographic, programmatic, and outcome data on Services for Survivors of Torture (SOT) grant recipients and the clients they serve. ORR has made minor revisions to this collection of information aimed at reducing burden and ensuring the data collection is limited to what is necessary for program oversight and to measure effectiveness. Revisions include expanding and clarifying reporting guidance and removing some subcategories for demographic and program indicators which are not used by the program office. The information collection is authorized under Section 5(a) of the "Torture Victims Relief Act of 1998," Pub. L. 105-320 (22 U.S.C. § 2152 note) Assistance for Treatment of Torture Victims.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: This request is to extend an existing data collection system with minor changes, removing a few subcategories for program indicators, and reducing the amount of information reported in the PPR-B Metrics to minimize the burden on respondents. To reduce the burden on grant recipients, ORR has expanded and clarified reporting guidance which results in the removal of a total of twelve subcategories for two program indicators and a reduced frequency of reporting percentage-based outcomes in the program metrics. ORR has also added one subcategory in one program data point. Additionally, ORR developed an optional data validation worksheet, embedded in the PDP form, to promote data quality. ORR also provides as a resource an optional client tracking tool that recipients can use to aggregate data. Overall, these changes have helped to reduce the estimated reporting burden by 30 percent, from an average of six hours per response to an average of 4.2 hours per response.
