View Rule

This Interim Final Rule on ORR child abuse and neglect investigations describes how ORR shall investigate and substantiate allegations of child abuse or neglect occurring in certain ORR care facilities and maintain a registry of perpetrators relating to those facilities where a State agency that would otherwise be responsible for such investigations will not investigate allegations arising at facilities housing unaccompanied children (e.g., because the State does not license facilities on the basis that they serve unaccompanied children). This interim final rule describes the obligations of care provider facilities in the course of an investigation of allegations of child abuse or neglect.
