Legal and Advocacy Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children

OMB 0970-0565 · HHS/ACF.

OMB 0970-0565

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children 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 children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State-licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and 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 uses several instruments directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The instruments in this information collection allow ORR to provide legal and advocacy services to unaccompanied alien children, as required by the legal authorities that govern the bureau. ORR is proposing minor changes to one instrument in this collection, the Notice of Attorney Representation (Form L-3A). This form is used by Attorneys of record and U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) accredited representatives for unaccompanied alien children in ORR care and released children to request specific case file information of a child. See the nonsubstantive change memo for additional information.
