The Monitoring and Compliance for ORR
Care Provider Facilities information collection consists of several
forms that allow the Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program to monitor
its care provider facilities for compliance with Federal and State
laws and regulations, licensing and accreditation standards, ORR
policies and procedures, and child welfare standards. Currently,
there are three versions of a questionnaire for UC – ages 5 and
under; ages 6-12; and ages 13 and older (UC Questionnaires, Forms
M-12A, M-12B and M-12E, respectively). ORR proposes including
questions in forms M-12A and M-12B that will assist in monitoring
ORR care provider programs that house Unaccompanied Afghan Minors
(UAM) and solicit relevant information from all UC.
