    Title: Annual Survey of Refugees.
    OMB No.: 0970-0033.
    Description: The Annual Survey of Refugees collects information on 
the economic circumstances of a random sample of refugees, Amerasians, 
and entrants who arrived in the United States during the previous five 
years. The survey focuses on their training, labor force participation, 
and welfare utilization rates. Data are segmented by region of origin, 
state of resettlement, and number of months since arrival. From their 
responses, the Office of Refugee Resettlement reports on the economic 
adjustment of refugees to the American economy. These data are used by 
Congress in its annual deliberations of refugee admissions and funding 
and by program managers in formulating policies for the future 
direction of the Refugee Resettlement Program.
    Respondents: Refugees.
