DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Children and Families


Proposed Information Collection Activity; Placement and Transfer 
of Unaccompanied Children Into Office of Refugee Resettlement Care 
Provider Facilities (OMB #: 0970-0554)

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, Administration for Children and 
Families, Department of Health and Human Services.

ACTION: Request for public comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), Administration for 
Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services (HHS), is inviting public comments on revisions to an approved 
information collection. The request will allow the Unaccompanied 
Children (UC) Program to ensure that UC are placed in foster homes that 
meet their individual needs and ensure continuity of services.

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with 
the requirements of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects 
of the information collection described above.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed collection of information can be 
obtained and comments may be forwarded by emailing 
[email protected]. Identify all requests by the title of the 
information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: ORR is proposing the following revisions to its Long-
Term Foster Care Placement Memo (Form P-5):
     Change the title to ``Community-Based Care Placement 
Memo'' and update the term ``long-term foster care'' to ``community-
based care'' throughout the memo. This term is more in line with 
terminology currently used in domestic child welfare programs and will 
be inclusive of ORR long-term foster care and transitional foster care 
programs.
     Increase the number of respondents and number of responses 
per respondent to include transitional foster care programs (in 
addition to long-term foster care programs).
     Update instructions on which fields are completed for 
initial placements and which are completed for transfers within the 
community-based care program.
     Reword some fields and instructions for clarity.
     Add field to capture the facility name for children placed 
in an out-of-network community-based care program.
     Separate fields that capture contact information for the 
foster family or group home into separate subsections and expand the 
fields to capture additional contact information (e.g., phone or email) 
in addition to name and address.
    For information about all currently approved forms under this OMB 
number, see: https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202210-0970-008.
    Respondents: ORR grantee and contractor staff, UC, and other 
federal agencies.

Annual Burden Estimates

    Note: These burden estimates include burden related to the 
revisions to Form P-5 described above and currently approved forms for
