state, website, and funding amount for each contracted sub-grantee.
Additionally, ORR seeks approval to have the option to make this

in support of the service referral responsibilities of the State
Refugee Coordinators. Similar information for ORR's discretionary
grants is currently made public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This data collection requests RSS grantees and RSS Set
Aside grantees to provide the agency name, city, state, website, and
funding amount for each contracted sub-grantee.
The information will be used for national resource mapping
pertaining to ORR RSS funding at the local level. Improved knowledge of
all local providers is important to ORR's overall oversight of the
program. In addition to RSS formula funding to states and state
replacement agencies who then issue sub-awards to local providers, ORR
also awards discretionary grants that directly fund local refugee
service providers. This report will provide ORR a complete picture of
the availability all ORR resources to assist newly arrived refugees at
the local level increasing our ability to identify gaps or target areas
of need.
Respondents: State governments and replacement designees.
