DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Refugee Cash and
Medical Assistance Federal Financial Report ORR-2 Supplemental Data
Collection (OMB #: 0970-0510)
AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, Administration for Children and
Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families' (ACF) Office of
Refugee Resettlement (ORR) plans to submit a generic information
collection (GenIC) request under the following umbrella generic:
Generic Clearance for Financial Reports used for ACF Mandatory Grant
Programs (0970-0510). This request is to include instructions for ORR
Refugee Cash and Medical Assistance (CMA) grant recipients to provide
supplemental financial information when submitting the already required
ORR-2 Financial Report, which is approved under Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) number 0970-0407.
DATES: Comments due within 14 days of publication. In compliance with
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is
soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information
collection described above and below.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be forwarded by emailing
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#adc4c3cbc2cec2c1c1c8ced9c4c2c3edcccecb83c5c5de83cac2db"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="472e29212824282b2b2224332e282907262421692f2f3469202831">[email protected]</span></a>. All requests should be identified by the
title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF programs require detailed financial information
from their grantees that allows ACF to monitor various specialized cost
categories within each program to closely manage program activities and
to have sufficient financial information to enable periodic thorough
and detailed audits. The Generic Clearance for Financial Reports used
for ACF Mandatory Grant Programs allows ACF programs to efficiently
develop and receive approval for financial reports that are tailored to
specific funding recipients and the associated needs of the program.
For more information about the umbrella generic, see: <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202303-0970-002">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202303-0970-002</a>.
This specific GenIC request applies to all ORR Refugee Cash and
Medical Assistance grantees awarded traditional base funding as well as
funding received under the Afghanistan Supplemental Appropriations Act,
2022 (ASA), and the Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022, and
other appropriations as communicated. All grantees must complete
reporting in accordance with statute. Currently, grantees use the ORR-2
(OMB #: 0970-0407) to report federal expenditures by program categories
such as refugee cash assistance and refugee medical assistance. The
ORR-2 requests grantees to report on the various program categories
totaling expenditures, unliquidated obligations, and unobligated
balances. ORR is proposing to request that grantees break out
unobligated balances reported on the final ORR-2 financial report by
funding source (base, ASA, Ukraine) and financial account number as
referenced on the Notice of Award as a Word or Excel attachment to
upload (with the ORR-2 report) in the Online Line Data Collection via
the designated link. This final report is due September 30th. The
proposed supplemental instructions will provide guidance and assist
grantees with submitting the additional detail about Federal
expenditure data reported on the ORR-2. The analysis of this data would
further support adherence to program requirements.
Respondents: States, State Agency Grantee Designees.
