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), seeks an update to the existing data collection for the
form ORR-5: Refugee Data Submission System for Formula Funds
Allocations and Service Analysis (OMB#: 0970-0043, expiration 4/30/
2024) and requests an extension of approval for three years. Minor
changes to the form ORR-5 include the addition of the following two
data elements: client email address and client phone number. ACF
estimates the proposed changes will not increase response burden.
DATES: Comments due within 60 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.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of
information and submit comments by emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#10797e767f737f7c7c757364797f7e507173763e7878633e777f66"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3950575f565a5655555c5a4d50565779585a5f1751514a175e564f">[email protected]</span></a>.
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The ORR-5 is designed to satisfy the statutory
requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Section
412(a)(3) of INA (8 U.S.C. 1522(a)(3)) requires that the Director of
ORR make a periodic assessment of the needs of refugees for assistance
and services and the resources available to meet those needs. ORR
proposes an extension with minor changes to the current form to ensure
continuous information collection, enabling the ORR Director to better
understand client demographics, services utilized, and the outcomes
achieved by clients enrolled in certain ORR-funded programs. Data
elements continue to include ORR program entrance and exit dates,
biographical information, referrals for services, progress made toward
achieving self-sufficiency, and employment status. ORR proposes to add
the following two data elements: client email address and client phone
number. Adding these data points will enable ORR to obtain updated
contact information for refugees who received ORR-funded services. The
data collected will inform evidence-based policy making and program
design.
Respondents: States, Replacement Designees, and the District of
Columbia.
