written, should be identified by the title of the information 
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: The ORR-3 Report is submitted 
within 30 days of the minor's initial placement in the state, within 60 
days of a change in the minor's status (e.g., change in legal 
responsibility, change in foster home placement, change in immigration 
data), and within 60 days of termination from the program. The ORR-4 
Report is submitted every 12 months beginning on the first anniversary 
of the initial placement date, to record outcomes of the minor's 
progress.
