Abstract: The Services Provided to Unaccompanied Children information collection contains 22 instruments that allow ORR to collect information necessary to provide services to Unaccompanied Children (UC) 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 April 21, 2022 and expires on April 30, 2025. ORR is proposing revisions to one instrument in this collection, the Sponsor Assessment (Form S-5). BACKGROUND The Flags section within the Sponsor Assessment (Form S-5) allows ORR to collect information necessary for the safe release of a child. It enables respondents to indicate potential concerns with sponsors, their household members, their identified alternate caregiver, and/or their address that will require further investigation before a child can safely be released to the sponsor. In instances where a sponsor latter applies to sponsor another child, it also allows respondents to easily view concerns identified and how they were addressed in previous sponsorship. Respondents are required to enter the specifics of any scenario that has led to a flag in the open textboxes that currently exist in the Flags section. This includes the date the flag was entered, a clear and concise description of the concern (i.e., flag type and details), what the risk to the child is, and what steps were taken to mitigate the risk, as well as the name of the household member or alternate caregiver when applicable. OVERVIEW OF REQUESTED CHANGES Currently, there are only two textboxes (one for sponsor flags and one for address flags) in which respondents can enter flag information. ORR proposes replacing these textboxes with discrete fields for Flag Type, Name, Flag Category, Flag Description, and Comments, as well as system-generated information on who created each flag and the date created. Please refer to Appendices A and B for additional details.
