The âAdministration and Oversight of the Unaccompanied Children Programâ information collection contains 12 instruments that allow the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to facilitate stakeholder visits to care provider facilities; obtain consent from unaccompanied children to share their case file information; improve service delivery to unaccompanied children; and ensure that serious issues are elevated to ORR and that all incidents and the response to such incidents are documented and resolved in a way that protects the best interests of unaccompanied children. The collection was last approved by OMB on May 18, 2022 and the current expiration date is May 31, 2025.
ORR is proposing changes to one form in this collection, the Notification of Concern (Form A-7). Form A-7 is currently formatted as a fillable PDF. ORR plans to digitize and incorporate the form into its new interactive, web-based application for Post-Release Services (PRS). As part of this process, ORR solicited feedback and completed testing activities, as approved under the âFeedback for Post-Release Service (PRS) Solution Development and Iterationâ information collection (0970-0401), and has identified minor revisions to improve clarity, usability, and functionality of the digital form.
