Family Reunification Packet for Sponsors of Unaccompanied Children

OMB 0970-0278

The Administration for Children (ACF), Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) requests the use of emergency processing procedures in accordance with 5 CFR Section 1320.13 to expand the scope of an existing information collection under OMB control number 0970-0278, Reunification Procedures for Unaccompanied Alien Children, renamed to Sponsorship Review Procedures for Unaccompanied Alien Children. The information collection will allow ACF to conduct suitability assessments to vet potential sponsors of unaccompanied alien children in. Specifically, the information collection allows ORR to obtain biometric and biographical information from sponsors, adult members of their household, and adult caregivers identified in a sponsor care plan, where applicable. ORR in turn shares the information collected with other federal departments to conduct background checks. The information collection is essential to the mission of the agency.
