Title: Annual Survey of Refugees (OMB #0907-0033).
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks to continue
data collection for the Annual Survey of Refugees with minor updates to
improve survey administration procedures. The Annual Survey of Refugees
is a yearly sample survey of refugees entering the U.S. in the previous
five fiscal years. No changes to the survey instrument or estimated
response burden are proposed.
Data from the Annual Survey of Refugees are used to meet the Office
of Refugee Resettlement's Congressional reporting requirements, as set
forth in the Refugee Act of 1980 (Section 413(a) of the Immigration and
Nationality Act). The ACF Office of Refugee Resettlement makes
aggregated survey findings available to the general public and uses
findings for the purposes of program planning, policy-making, and
budgeting.
Respondents: The Annual Survey of Refugees secures a nationally-
representative sample of refugee households arriving in the United
States in the previous five fiscal years.
