Abstract
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services seeks an update to the existing data collection for the Annual Survey of Refugees. The Annual Survey of Refugees is a yearly sample survey of refugee households entering the U.S. in the previous 5 fiscal years. The requested update is based upon results of a multi-year effort in instrument redesign and field testing. ACF estimates the proposed changes will increase response burden from 48 to 50 minutes per respondent.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Data from the Annual Survey of Refugees are used to
meet the Office of Refugee Resettlement's (ORR) Congressional reporting
requirements, as set forth in the Refugee Act of 1980 (section 413(a)
of the Immigration and Nationality Act). ORR makes survey findings
available to the general public and uses findings for the purposes of
program planning, policy-making, and budgeting. The requested update
reflects changes to the survey instrument to: enhance ORR's
understanding of refugees' resettlement experiences; streamline the
collection of household-level information; and improve data reliability
and validity. As a result of these changes, the estimated time to
respond was updated from 48 to 50 minutes.
Respondents: The Annual Survey of Refugees secures a nationally
representative sample of refugee households arriving in the United
States in the previous 5 fiscal years.
