Subject: Non-Substantive Change Request – Family Reunification Packet for Sponsors of Unaccompanied Children (OMB #0970-0278)

This memo requests approval of a non-substantive change to the approved information collection, Family Reunification Packet for Sponsors of Unaccompanied Children (OMB #0970-0278).

Background

The Family Reunification Packet for Sponsors of Unaccompanied Children information collection contains four instruments that allow ORR to collect information necessary to determine the suitability of a proposed sponsor for an unaccompanied child as required by the Homeland Security Act (6 U.S.C. 279), the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232), and the Flores Settlement Agreement (No. CV85-4544-RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996)). The collection was last approved by OMB on September 14, 2020 and expires on June 30, 2022.

Overview of Requested Changes

ORR proposes to add state-required Biometric Information Disclosure and Authorization (BIPA) language to its Privacy Notice (FRP-11A & FRP-11As). Although generally not applicable to the Federal government, this notification is required by ORR’s new digital fingerprint vendor and must be in place before ORR may make use of the vendor’s services.
