Release of Unaccompanied Children from ORR Custody

ORR’s Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Program provides care and custody for UAC until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to UAC in ORR custody. Care provider facilities are State- licensed, with the exception of temporary influx care facilities, and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR is submitting several instruments directly related to the care of UAC for processing pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act. These instruments allow ORR to process the release of UAC from ORR custody and provide services after release. The proposed instruments are: • Discharge Notification (Form R-2) • Notice to Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Chief Counsel – Release of Unaccompanied Alien Child to Sponsor and Request to Change Address (Form R-3) • Release Request (Form R-4) • Safety and Well-Being Follow-Up Call Report (Form R-6)
