The Refugee Data Submission System for
Formula Funds Allocations (ORR-5) is designed to satisfy the
statutory requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA). Section 412(a)(3)of the INA (8 U.S.C. § 1522(a)(3)) requires
that the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) make
a periodic assessment of the needs of refugees for assistance and
services and the resources available to meet those needs. The House
and Senate passed the continuing resolution (CR) in late September
2021. For ORR, the CR authorizes the eligibility of Afghan
Humanitarian Parolee (AHP) to receive services and benefits to the
same extent as refugees. The current OMB approved ORR-5 form
already collects eligible immigration status or category of
individual. There is no existing option available to accurately
capture the newly authorized AHP population. ORR is requesting to
add the AHP option to the existing OMB approved form.

This request is for additional
data collection under OMB #0970-0043 to collect client-level data
elements on the ORR-5 at multiple points in time, which will allow

serves. New data elements include additional demographics, primary
goals identified and referrals made to assist clients work towards
self-sufficiency, progress made towards achieving said goals, and
employment status of employable refugees 12 months post-enrollment.

Letter 19-07.
