Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Refugee Assistance Program Estimates: CMA-ORR-1.
    OMB No.: 0970-0030.
    Description: The ORR-1, Cash and Medical Assistance (CMA) Program 
Estimates, is the application for grants under the CMA program. The 
application is required by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) 
program regulations at 45 CFR 400.11(b). The regulation specifies that 
States must submit, as their application for this program, estimates of 
the projected costs they anticipate incurring in providing cash and 
medical assistance for eligible recipients and the costs of 
administering the program. Under the CMA program, States are reimbursed 
for the costs of providing these services and benefits for eight months 
after an eligible recipient arrives in this country. The eligible 
recipients for these services and benefits are refugees, Amerasians, 
Cuban and Haitian Entrants, asylees, Afghans and Iraqi with Special 
Immigrant Visas, and victims of a severe form of trafficking. States 
that provide services for unaccompanied refugee minors also provide an 
estimate for the cost of these services for the year for which they are 
applying for grants.
    ORR proposes streamlining language to make the instructions easier 
to read. ORR proposes adding language for clarification and consistency 
across programs. Additionally, ORR proposes to require states to submit 
copies of their contracts with URM providers with the submission.
