DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Children and Families


Submission for OMB Review; Refugee Support Services (RSS) and RSS 
Set Aside Sub-Agency List (New Collection)

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, Administration for Children and 
Families, HHS.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) seeks 
approval for a new information collection requesting Refugee Support 
Services (RSS) grantees and RSS Set Aside grantees to provide the 
agency name, city, state, phone number, and funding amount for each 
contracted sub-grantee.

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. The Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) is required to make a decision concerning 
the collection of information between 30 and 60 days after publication 
of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore, a comment is best 
assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of 
publication.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent directly to the following: Office 
of Management and Budget; Paperwork Reduction Project; Email: 
[email protected]; Attn: Desk Officer for the Administration 
for Children and Families.
    Copies of the proposed collection may be obtained by emailing 
[email protected]. Alternatively, copies can also be obtained 
by writing to the Administration for Children and Families, Office of 
Planning, Research, and Evaluation, 330 C Street SW, Washington, DC 
20201, Attn: ACF Reports Clearance Officer. All requests, emailed or 
written, should be identified by the title of the information 
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: This new data collection will request RSS grantees and 
RSS Set Aside grantees to provide the agency name, city, state, phone 
number, and funding amount for each contracted sub-grantee. Without 
having this information regarding RSS sub-grantees, the ACF Office of 
Refugee Resettlement (ORR) does not know whether an agency is, or is 
not, receiving ORR funds. This makes it difficult to ensure 
communications with, provide access to targeted assistance for, and 
keep abreast of the activities of all ORR-funded refugee service 
providers.
    Respondents: State governments and replacement designees.
