The Non-substantive Change Request for Administration and Oversight of the Unaccompanied Children Program (OMB #0970-0547) was improperly submitted due to the number of proposed changes on net and the proposed sensitive data for the information collection Notification of Concern (NOC) (Form A-7). OMB requests that ACF resubmitted as revised package.

The âAdministration and Oversight of the Unaccompanied Children Programâ information collection contains 10 instruments that allow the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to facilitate stakeholder visits to care provider facilities; obtain consent from unaccompanied children (UC) to share their case file information; improve service delivery to UC; and ensure that serious issues are elevated to ORR and that all incidents and the response to such incidents are documented and resolved in a way that protects the best interests of UC. The collection was last approved by OMB on May 18, 2022 and the current expiration date is May 31, 2025.
The current version of the Notification of Concern (NOC) (Form A-7) was intended for use in a modernized version of ORRâs case management system. Development of the system is still underway; therefore, ORR proposes converting the form to a fillable PDF so that it can begin collecting information as soon as possible.
In addition, ORR has identified some modifications to NOC categories and other minor revisions to improve clarity and functionality of the form.
