DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Children and Families

[Office of Management and Budget #0970-0036]


Submission for Office of Management and Budget Review; ORR-6 
Performance Report

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, Administration for Children and 
Families, U.S. 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 seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a 3-
year extension to the existing data collection for the ORR-6 
Performance Report forms (OMB #0970-0036, expiration December 31, 2025) 
with minor changes to the instructions. The minor proposed changes 
removed parts of the instructions that are no longer relevant due to 
expired program funding and clarify existing instructions. Revisions 
also include removal of data points from the Annual Service Plan to 
further reduce burden on respondents.

DATES: Comments due March 9, 2026.

ADDRESSES: The public may view and comment on this information 
collection request at: https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202602-0970-001. You can also obtain copies of the 
proposed collection of information by emailing 
[email protected]. Identify all emailed requests by the title 
of the information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: The ORR-6 is designed to satisfy the statutory 
requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). 
Specifically, section 412(a)(7) of INA (8 U.S.C. 1522(a)(7)) requires 
that the Director monitor refugee resettlement assistance, including 
collecting data on the services provided and the results achieved. Data 
elements include output data that measures services provided by 
programs for school-aged youth, elderly populations, and for overall 
health promotion. The data collected will inform evidence-based 
policymaking and program design.
    The ORR-6 is an OMB-approved form under the Paperwork Reduction Act 
(PRA). ORR proposes to extend OMB approval for the ORR-6 with minor 
changes to the instructions and reduction of reporting burden through 
removal of data points from the Annual Service Plan. ORR staff and ORR 
funding recipients will benefit from accurate and clear instructions 
that support current reporting requirements.
    Respondents: States, Replacement Designees, and the District of 
Columbia.
    Annual Burden Estimates: ACF estimates the proposed changes reduce 
response burden from 15 to 13 hours.
