ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 will allow the Unaccompanied
Children (UC) Program to ensure that UC are placed in foster homes that

the requirements of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ORR is proposing the following revisions to its Long-
Term Foster Care Placement Memo (Form P-5):
<bullet> Change the title to ``Community-Based Care Placement
Memo'' and update the term ``long-term foster care'' to ``community-
based care'' throughout the memo. This term is more in line with
terminology currently used in domestic child welfare programs and will
be inclusive of ORR long-term foster care and transitional foster care
programs.
<bullet> Increase the number of respondents and number of responses
per respondent to include transitional foster care programs (in
addition to long-term foster care programs).
<bullet> Update instructions on which fields are completed for
initial placements and which are completed for transfers within the
community-based care program.
<bullet> Reword some fields and instructions for clarity.
<bullet> Add field to capture the facility name for children placed
in an out-of-network community-based care program.
<bullet> Separate fields that capture contact information for the
foster family or group home into separate subsections and expand the
fields to capture additional contact information (e.g., phone or email)
in addition to name and address.

number, see: <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202210-0970-008">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202210-0970-008</a>.
