Notice of Public Comments on FY 2017 U.S. Refugee Admissions 
Program

    The United States actively supports efforts to provide protection, 
assistance, and durable solutions for refugees. The U.S. Refugee 
Admissions Program (USRAP) is a critical component of the United 
States' overall refugee protection efforts around the globe. In Fiscal 
Year 2016, the President established the ceiling for refugee admissions 
into the United States at 85,000 refugees.
    As we begin to prepare the FY 2017 U.S. Refugee Admission Program, 
we welcome the public's input. Information about the Program can be 
found at http://www.state.gov/g/prm/. Persons wishing to submit written 
comments on the appropriate size and scope of the FY 2016 U.S. Refugee 
Admissions Program should submit them by 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 19, 
2015 via email to [email protected] or fax (202) 453-9393.
    If you have questions about submitting written comments, please 
contact Delicia Spruell, PRM/Admissions Program Officer at 
[email protected].
