ADDRESSES: In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the 
specific aspects of the information collection described above. You can 
obtain copies of the proposed collection of information and submit 
comments by emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#147d7a727b777b78787177607d7b7a547577723a7c7c673a737b62"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="11787f777e727e7d7d747265787e7f517072773f7979623f767e67">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. Identify all requests 
by the title of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The ORR-6 is designed to satisfy the statutory 
requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). 
Specifically, section 412(a)(7) of INA (8 U.S.C. 1522(a)(7)) requires 
that the Director monitor refugee resettlement assistance, including 
collecting data on the services provided and the results achieved. Data 
elements include output data that measure services provided by programs 
for school-aged youth, elderly populations, and for overall health 
promotion. The data collected will inform evidence-based policymaking 
and program design. The ORR-6 is an OMB-approved form under PRA. ORR 
proposes to extend OMB approval for the ORR-6 with minor changes to the 
instructions. ORR staff and ORR funding recipients will benefit from 
accurate and clear instructions that support current reporting 
requirements. ACF estimates the proposed changes will not increase 
response burden.
    Respondents: States, Replacement Designees, and the District of 
Columbia.
