Subject: Non-Substantive Change Request – Family Reunification Packet for Sponsors of Unaccompanied Children (OMB #0970-0278)



This memo requests approval of a non-substantive change to the approved information collection, Family Reunification Packet (FRP) for Sponsors of Unaccompanied Children (UC) (OMB #0970-0278).


Background

The FRP for Sponsors of UC information collection contains four instruments that allow ORR to collect information necessary to determine the suitability of a proposed sponsor for a 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 August 24, 2022 and expires on August 31, 2025.



Overview of Requested Changes

ORR is seeking to improve sponsor engagement and communication by expanding language access for the instruments in this information collection.


The instruments are currently available in:

  • English

  • Spanish

  • Dari

  • Haitian Creole

  • Pashto

  • Russian

  • Ukrainian


Under this request, ORR proposes expanding available languages to also include the following indigenous Mayan languages:

  • Chuj

  • Kaqchikel

  • K’iche’

  • Mam

  • Q’eqchi’


None of the approved content within the instruments has changed as a result of the translations.
