Abstract: The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) seeks approval for a new information collection, requesting 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 subgrantees, 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.
