AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, Administration for Children and
Families, HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is inviting public comments on revisions to an approved
information collection. The request consists of several forms that
allow the Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program to assess the suitability
of potential sponsors for UC.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a
decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore,
a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular

emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#375e59515854585b5b5254435e585977565451195f5f4419505841"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="670e09010804080b0b0204130e080927060401490f0f1449000811">[email protected]</span></a>. Identify all emailed requests by
the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ORR proposes the following revisions to this
information collection:
For all forms, ORR replaced the term ``minor'' with ``child.''
<bullet> Authorization for Release of Information--
[cir] ORR replaced the term ``minor'' with ``child.''
[cir] ORR removed the Alien Registration Number field, since it is
not required for background checks.
[cir] ORR removed reference to ``past and present immigration
status,'' since that information will no longer be collected in the
Family Reunification application.
<bullet> Family Reunification Application--
[cir] ORR replaced the term ``minor'' with ``child.''
[cir] Proof of Identity--ORR added clarification that individuals
under the age of 21 may use the ORR Verification of Release form with a
photograph to meet this requirement.
[cir] Proof of Immigration Status or U.S. Citizenship--ORR removed
the requirement that potential sponsors provide documentation verifying
their immigration status or U.S. citizenship. ORR no longer uses this
information as a criterion to determine when a sponsor care plan is
required; therefore, it is no longer necessary to collect this
information.
[cir] Proof of Address--ORR also removed the phrase ``dated within
the last two months'' that appears after the current lease line item,
because it is not applicable to that acceptable form of documentation.
[cir] Burden Estimate--ORR increased the average burden hours per
response from 0.75 hours to a more accurate estimate of 1.0 hour.
<bullet> Letter of Designation for Care of a Minor--
[cir] ORR replaced the term ``minor'' with ``child.''
[cir] ORR also increased the average burden hours per response from
0.5 hours to a more accurate estimate of 0.75 hours.
