The ORR-3 and ORR-4 Report Forms
collect information required by statute and are necessary to
administer the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) Program. The
ORR-3 Placement Report is submitted within 30 days of a child's
initial placement in the program, within 60 days of a reportable
change in the child's case (e.g. establishment or ending of legal
responsibility, attainment of immigration status, placement
change), and within 60 days of termination from the program. The
ORR-4 Outcomes Report is submitted annually beginning 12 months
after the date of the initial placement report. The ORR-4 collects
information on education attainment, personal functioning, family
reunification activities, and transition to adulthood services and
outcomes. The House and Senate passed the continuing resolution
(CR) in late September 2021. For the Office of Refugee Resettlement
(ORR), the CR authorizes the eligibility of Afghan parolees to
receive services and benefits to the same extent as refugees. This
includes making Afghan unaccompanied children eligible for the URM
Program. Current OMB approved forms for the URM program have
already been collecting immigration status/category and eligibility
types for eligible minors. There is no existing option available to
accurately capture the newly authorized immigration status/category
or eligibility type for Afghan unaccompanied children. ORR is
requesting to add the “Afghan Humanitarian Parolee” option to the
existing list of Eligibility Type and Immigration Status/Category
of the OMB approved forms for URM program.
The proposed revisions are
based upon comments received from State agency staff, URM provider
agencies, and ORR’s analysis of reporting trends. The estimated
number of respondents was updated based on the average number of
respondents over the past three years. Additionally, ORR staff
factored in current and projected in-care numbers for URM. Overall,
ORR is proposing revisions to improve clarity, secure outcome-based
data, and increase compliance with reporting requirements. The
proposed changes to the ORR-3 and ORR-4 Report Forms would reduce
estimated burden of data collection by 23% for State agencies and
URM providers.
