SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
proposing a change of the described potential uses of data for two
information collections: Medical Assessment Form and Dental Assessment
Form (OMB #: 0970-0466) and Mental Health Assessment Form and Public
Health Investigation Forms, Tuberculosis and Non-Tuberculosis Illness
(OMB: #0970-0509).
DATES: Comments due August 1, 2024. OMB has agreed to make a decision
about the updates to these collections of information following a
public comment period of 30 days. Therefore, a comment is best assured
of having its full effect if ACF receives it within 30 days of

ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed changes and submit
comments by emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#11787f777e727e7d7d747265787e7f517072773f7979623f767e67"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6801060e070b0704040d0b1c01070628090b0e4600001b460f071e">[email protected]</span></a>. Identify all requests

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The following two ORR information collections capture
health data on children in ORR care:
<bullet> Medical Assessment Form and Dental Assessment Form
<bullet> Mental Health Assessment Form and Public Health Investigation
Form: Active TB, and Public Health Investigation Form: Non-TB Illness
The current description of purpose and use of the data collected
states that confidential and sensitive health information will only be
shared with external stakeholders (including other Federal agencies)
for public health purposes (e.g., contact investigations to identify
children exposed to a reportable infectious disease). However, ORR has
identified a need to share the health data of specific unaccompanied
children with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which falls
outside of the stated limitations. The need to communicate with DHS
occurs when a newly referred child arrives at an ORR facility ill or
requires emergent/urgent healthcare services shortly after placement
and ORR was not notified in advance. For DHS to investigate the event,
ORR must share confidential and sensitive health information including
the child's alien number, name, signs/symptoms, diagnoses, and date of
diagnosis. The goal of this data sharing effort is to identify areas of
potential improvement in delivery of healthcare services and continuity
of care for children transferred from DHS to Health and Human Services
custody.
Respondents: Healthcare providers (pediatricians, medical
specialists, and dentists), mental health professionals (psychiatrists,
psychiatric nurse practitioners or physician's assistants, licensed
psychologist or any other community based licensed mental health
provider (e.g., social worker), care provider program staff.
Annual Burden Estimates: No changes. For current burden estimates,
