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 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 has undertaken several anti-fraud and anti-trafficking initiatives over the past year to strengthen its sponsor vetting process and increase measures taken to ensure children are released into safe home environments. One measure identified to support these efforts is to require sponsors to report changes of address for children to ORR and document the changes of address in the ORR case management system (UC Portal). This includes documenting when a released child’s address/location is unknown because they have been reported missing. ORR determined that it would also be beneficial to include the location of the child while they are still in care, including when the child has been reported missing. This would allow ORR to have the address/location of the child, both while they are in care and after release, documented in one centralized location. ORR proposes adding a section to the UC Portal case management system titled “Current Location of Child.” This section will document the current location of the child while the child is in ORR care, changes of address after the child is release from ORR custody, and when the child is reported missing. Adding this new section is a natural extension of the UC Case Status (approved under this information collection), which provides high-level information about the child and their case such as which program they are in, who their sponsor is, dates of key assessments, their primary case manager, and more.
