SUMMARY: The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), Administration for 
Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services (HHS), is proposing to collect data for a new data collection, 
the Serious Medical Procedure Request (SMR) Form.

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a 
decision about 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 within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: Children with complex medical/dental conditions may 
require surgical intervention or procedures in order to maintain and 
promote their health while in ORR custody. Procedures requiring general 
anesthesia, surgeries, and invasive diagnostic procedures (e.g., 
cardiac catheterization, invasive biopsy, amniocentesis) require 
advance ORR approval. Before a decision can be rendered by ORR, data on 
clinical indications, risks and benefits of the surgery/procedure, 
potential adverse outcomes if services are not rendered, timeframe for 
recovery, follow-up care, and points of contact must be collected and 
submitted to ORR. The form is not required for emergency procedures, 
procedures performed during hospitalization, or procedures resulting 
from complication of a previously approved procedure.
    Respondents: Healthcare providers, ORR grantee staff.
