    Title: Annual Survey of Refugees (Form ORR-9).
    OMB No.: 0970-0033.
    Description: The Annual Survey of Refugees collects information on 
the social and economic circumstances of a random sample of refugees, 
Amerasians, and entrants who arrived in the United States in the five 
years prior to the date of the survey. The survey focuses on the 
refugees training, labor force participation, and welfare utilization 
rates. Dates are segmented by region of origin, State of resettlement, 
and number of months since arrival. From the 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 for refugee admissions and funding and by program 
managers in formulating policies for the future direction of the 
Refugee Resettlement Program.
    Respondents: Refugees, entrants, Amerasians, and Havana parolees.
