DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families [Office of Management and Budget #: 0970-0034] Submission for Office of Management and Budget Review; Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Program ORR-3 Report and ORR-4 Report AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ACTION: Request for public comments. SUMMARY: The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is requesting a three-year extension with revisions of the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) Program ORR-3 Report and ORR-4 Report (Office of Management and Budget #0970-0034, expiration 11/30/2026). Revisions were made to reduce burden and streamline information collection. DATES: Comments due November 16, 2026. ADDRESSES: The public may view and comment on this information collection request at: https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=202610-0970-002 . You can also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by emailing infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all emailed requests by the title of the information collection. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: The ORR-3 Report is submitted to report a youth's initial placement in the URM Program, termination from the program, or re-entry into the program. The ORR-3 is also submitted to report changes to the youth's case ( e.g., change in legal responsibility, change in foster home placement, etc.). The ORR-4 Report is submitted annually and at termination to report on the youth's receipt of services and outcomes. Proposed revisions to the forms include replacing multiple follow-up outcome reports with a single termination outcome report, replacing self-reported outcome measures from youth with provider-reported measures, eliminating select sub-types of ORR-3 reports, replacing or streamlining unclear questions and response options, removing unnecessary questions, and streamlining supplemental report instructions to integrate more guidance directly into the forms. Respondents: URM state/replacement designee agencies and URM provider agencies. Annual Burden Estimates The edits described above will result in a reduction in annual burden estimates of approximately 41 percent once implemented. Additionally, youth have been removed as a respondent to the ORR-4 Report; youth outcome measures will no longer be self-reported, instead providers will report youth outcomes. Revisions will be implemented after a 12-month implementation timeframe; the following burden estimates are specific to the revised versions following the 12-month implementation period.
