SUMMARY: The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is requesting a
three-year extension with revisions of the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors
(URM) Program ORR-3 Report and ORR-4 Report (Office of Management and
Budget #0970-0034, expiration 11/30/2026). Revisions were made to
reduce burden and streamline information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: The ORR-3 Report is submitted
to report a youth's initial placement in the URM Program, termination
from the program, or re-entry into the program. The ORR-3 is also
submitted to report changes to the youth's case (e.g., change in legal
responsibility, change in foster home placement, etc.). The ORR-4
Report is submitted annually and at termination to report on the
youth's receipt of services and outcomes. Proposed revisions to the
forms include replacing multiple follow-up outcome reports with a
single termination outcome report, replacing self-reported outcome
measures from youth with provider-reported measures, eliminating select
sub-types of ORR-3 reports, replacing or streamlining unclear questions
and response options, removing unnecessary questions, and streamlining
supplemental report instructions to integrate more guidance directly
into the forms.
Respondents: URM state/replacement designee agencies and URM
provider agencies.
Annual Burden Estimates
The edits described above will result in a reduction in annual
burden estimates of approximately 41 percent once implemented.
Additionally, youth have been removed as a respondent to the ORR-4
Report; youth outcome measures will no longer be self-reported, instead
providers will report youth outcomes. Revisions will be implemented
after a 12-month implementation timeframe; the following burden
estimates are specific to the revised versions following the 12-month
implementation period.
