Proposed Information Collection Activity: Unaccompanied Children Bureau Assessments for Children and Sponsors (Office of Management and Budget #: 0970-NEW)
AGENCY:
Office of Refugee Resettlement, Administration for Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION:
Request for public comments.
SUMMARY:
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is inviting public comments on the proposed information collection, including proposed changes. The request consists of several forms that will allow the Unaccompanied Children Bureau (UCB) to continue conducting statutorily mandated assessments of unaccompanied children in ORR care and custody as well as their sponsors. These assessments allow ORR to understand the status and needs of the child and their potential sponsor; assessment findings inform all decisions concerning the child's care while in ORR custody and eventual reunification with a sponsor.
DATES:
Comments due February 28, 2025. In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection described in this notice.
ADDRESSES:
You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of information and submit comments by emailing infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ORR has undertaken a reorganization of its information collections to promote operational efficiency. The reorganization will result in more collections that contain fewer forms under a single Office of Management and Budget (OMB) number. This request is to create a new information collection that contains forms associated with the provision of critical assessments to unaccompanied children and their sponsors. This information collection will contain seven forms transferred from one existing information collection and two new forms. The forms and the information collection under which they are currently approved are as follows:
• Services Provided to Unaccompanied Children (OMB #0970-0553)
? Sponsor Assessment (Form S-5)
? Adult Contact Profile (Form S-7)
? Initial Intakes Assessment (Form S-8)
? Assessment for Risk (Form S-9)
? UC Assessment (Form S-11)
? UC Case Review (Form S-12)
? Individual Service Plan (Form S-13)
• Newly Developed Category 4 Initiative Forms:
? Category 4 Reunification Case Review and Staffing (Form TBD-#)
? Family Finding and Mobility Mapping (Form TBD-#)
These forms are completed by care provider case managers and clinicians at care provider facilities, and exclusively for the Sponsor Assessment (Form S-5), by unification specialists operating remotely. These forms assess the suitability of potential sponsors applying to reunify with an unaccompanied child; capture critical historical, biographic and medical data for children upon admission to the UCB care provider; assess the child for sexual abuse history and risk of abusive behavior towards others; review and update prior assessment data over time; and collaboratively identify potential sponsors for children without a viable sponsor (referred to as "Category 4" cases) utilizing child-friendly interactive techniques and extensive kinship network mapping. These forms are documentary in nature and a critical component of the child's case file. In addition to grouping forms related to Assessments together in this information collection, ORR is proposing the following revisions:
• Global Changes across all currently approved forms:
? Replace "UC", "UAC", and "Minor" with "Child" or "Unaccompanied Child" wherever they appear
? Update dropdown options for the "Gender" field, wherever it appears, to include male, female, and nonbinary
[top] ? Replace "Primary" language with "Preferred"
? Simplify certain fields that capture both date and time to only capture the date when hour and minute of completion/certification is immaterial
? Include Physical Location of the Child field in the UC Basic Information section across all forms to conform with changes concurrently proposed in the Services Provided to Unaccompanied Children Information Collection (OMB# 0970-0553)
? Minor terminology edits to conform with UCB style guide standards as established in the UC Program Foundational Rule (45 CFR 410) as well as to improve clarity and consistency with other form titles and/or fields
? Add translator or interpreter certification to assessments requiring input directly from a child or sponsor, as relevant.
• Sponsor Assessment (Form S-5): Currently, there are two approved versions of this form-one for UC Portal and one for the UC Path system, which was never implemented. ORR plans to discontinue the UC Path version of this form, which was never deployed, and make the following revisions to the UC Portal version.
? Add new Current Sponsor Status field to the Sponsor Assessment to provide a high-level progress status for each assessment to inform concurrent planning efforts to identify alternative sponsors and Case Review (Form S-12)
? Add Date Sponsor Identified to Adult Contact Profile section to improve data tracking for program performance evaluation
? Add "Mail-Letter from Unification Specialist" option to Sponsor Document Type dropdown menu in the document upload field
? Revise "Substance Abuse Disclosed by Sponsor" under Criminal History and Background Checks Self Disclosure section to read "Legal issues related to drug or alcohol use ( e.g., D.U.I, D.W.I, Possession, Manufacture, Distribution of controlled substances)" to better capture data concerning the sponsor's risk profile
? Add several questions to the Care Plan section of the form to document the sponsor's awareness and ability to care for the child's healthcare needs
? Add functionality to add multiple adult caregivers to the Care Plan section of the form and identify one as the current or primary caregiver
? Add a sponsor-child debt attestation question to the Trafficking and Fraud section of the form to document the sponsor's understanding and intent to comply with ORR policy prohibiting the sponsor from seeking or collecting any financial renumeration from the child or their family or encouraging the child to work counter to child labor laws or without a legal permit
? Rename "Summary Case Manager Assessment Tab" to "Sponsor Assessment Summary Tab" to reflect inclusion of the Unification Specialist role and emphasize that the summary step before certification of the form
? Add Unification Specialist role, contact information, and recommendation fields to the "Summary Sponsor Assessment" section
? Add an open text field that is triggered by conditional logic when the assessment is completed outside of the five-calendar day deadline, prompting the respondent to indicate a reason for the delay
? Adjust the burden estimate to account for an increase in the number of children placed in ORR care thus increasing the number of potential sponsors assessed, reflect that the form is completed by four different groups of respondents, and to reflect a slight increase in the overall number of fields the respondents will need to complete. The annual number of Case Manager respondents increased from 216 to 300. The annual number of Unification Specialist respondents is estimated to be approximately 680, the annual number of Interpreter respondents is estimated to be 300; and the number of sponsors expected to participate in the assessment is expected to increase from 57,195 to 98,185. The annual number of responses per respondent changed as follows: the number of responses per sponsor remains unchanged at 1; the number of responses per Case Manager is expected to increase from 265 to 327; the number of responses per Unification Specialist is estimated to be 144; and the number of responses per Interpreter is estimated to be 327. The average burden hours per response remains unchanged at 1 hour, reflecting the minimal substantive changes described above.
• Adult Contact Profile (Form S-7): The Adult Contact Profile was developed for the UC Path case management system which was never implemented; the Adult Contact Profile is currently approved under the Services Provided to Unaccompanied Children information collection (OMB# 0970-0553) is being renewed with one substantive change. ORR plans to incorporate the adult contact profile with all UC Path features into the UC Portal case management system at a future date, which will allow ORR to establish unique UC Portal profiles for non-sponsor adults, such as household members, relatives in home country, and designated alternate caregivers. This will facilitate improved data tracking and flagging across cases should these individuals later apply to sponsor a child.
? Remove the "Legal Status" question from the form as irrelevant and immaterial to facilitating better data tracking across cases
• Initial Assessment (Form S-8): Currently, there are two approved versions of this form-one for UC Portal and one for the UC Path system, which was never implemented. ORR plans to discontinue the UC Path version of this form, which was never deployed, and make the following revisions to the UC Portal version.
? Add a field to document the child's preferred gender pronouns to initial intakes assessment section.
? Clarify instructions to the respondent mandating the assessment to be completed within 24 hours of admission to the care provider program
? Introduce questions related to languages spoken, fluency, and comprehension to document the child's understanding of the assessment questions
? Add a field to the Family Information section to indicate if a relative might be a potential sponsor
? Rephrase sensitive questions pertaining to mental health concerns using more specific and child-friendly terms and eliminating redundant questions
[top] ? Adjust the burden estimate to account for a projected increase in the number of children placed in ORR care since the form's last renewal and reflect that the form is completed by three different potential respondents with input from the child. The annual number of Case Manager respondents is expected to increase from 216 to 300, the annual number of Clinician
• Assessment for Risk (Form S-9): Currently, there are two approved versions of this form-one for UC Portal and one for the UC Path system, which was never implemented. ORR plans to discontinue the UC Path version of this form, which was never deployed, and make the following revisions to the UC Portal version.
? Clarify terminology concerning the purpose of the assessment in the instructions to the respondent
? Revise question text in the following ways:
Include more specific and child-friendly terminology concerning sensitive topics related to sexual activity and sexual abuse history
Incorporate inclusive terminology concerning gender identity and expression
Incorporate "suspected or diagnosed" terminology to questions pertaining to disabilities
? Add fields to document the following:
If the child would like to be referred to a mental health counselor or clinician to discuss their past sexual activity and/or sexual abuse history
If the child or caretaker in home country report any issues with the child's ability to carry out tasks of daily living that may affect the child's housing assignment while in ORR care
The creation of an individual 504 plan under the "Actions Taken" question of the "Housing," "Other Service Assignments," and "Follow-Up" Section
• Adjust the burden estimate to account for a projected decrease in the number of children placed in ORR care since the form's last renewal and reflect that the form is completed by three different potential respondents with input from the child. The annual number of Case Manager respondents is expected to increase from 216 to 300, the annual number of Clinician respondents is estimated to be 300, the annual number of Interpreter respondents is estimated to be 300, and the number of children projected to be referred in FY 2025 is expected to decrease from 120,096 to 98,185. The annual number of responses per respondent changed as follows: the number of responses per child remains unchanged at 1, the number of responses per Case Manager is expected to decrease from 556 to 164, the number of responses per Clinician is estimated to be 164, and the number of responses per Interpreter is estimated to be 327. The average burden hours per response remains unchanged at .75 hours, reflecting the minimal substantive changes described above.

• Category 4 Reunification Case Review and Staffing (Form TBD-#): This is a new form created by ORR to support sponsor identification and outreach for children designated "Category 4" or without a viable sponsor. The form is completed by the care provider case manager, and in complex cases, by the care provider clinician in response to the child's Mobility Map, also submitted for approval under this information collection. The contents of the form, once complete, are shared with a concurrent planning team comprised of the care provider Case Manager, Supervising Case Manager, Clinician, Case Coordinator, and Federal Field Specialist at a staffing meeting to discuss findings and develop a permanency action plan to identify a qualified sponsor for the child. The burden estimate for this form is as follows:
? ORR estimates, based on historic averages that approximately 35,347 children or 36 percent of cases referred to ORR care and custody in FY 2025 will be designated "Category 4" at some point during their length of care. The number of case managers completing the form is estimated to be 300 annually, the number of clinicians completing the form is estimated to be 300 annually. The average number of responses per respondent is estimated to be approximately 147 per case manager and approximately 74 per clinician as clinicians will only complete the form if the case is deemed "complex" due to extended length of stay, medically fragile status of the child, trafficking, abuse, or neglect history concerns, or other extenuating circumstances that may make reunification with a vetted sponsor more difficult. The average burden hour per response associated with this form is estimated to be 1.88 hours for standard, non-complex cases involving only the child's case manager and 2.5 hours for complex cases requiring the involvement of a clinician.
• Family Finding and Mobility Mapping (Form TBD-#): This form is an instructional guide for use by care provider case managers and clinicians to facilitate the creation of a "Mobility Map" by a Category 4 child. The mobility map is a visual representation of the child's life in their home country and their journey to the U.S., which is intended to identify parents, legal guardians, extended family members, family friends, kinship networks, and other potential sponsor leads as well as identify potential sponsor fraud and parental rights violations. The Mobility Map is created by the child in response to child-friendly questions and facilitative techniques deployed by a care provider case manager, and potentially a clinician if the child's case is complex. The Family Finding and Mobility Mapping Guide provides instructions to care provider staff to engage the child safely and effectively in this Participatory Learning and Action process. The burden estimate for the Mobility Map is as follows:
? ORR estimates, based on historic averages that approximately 35,347 children or 36 percent of cases referred to ORR care and custody in FY 2025 will be designated "Category 4" at some point during their length of care The number of children completing the form is estimated to be approximately 35,247, the number of case managers completing the form is estimated to be approximately 300, and the number of clinicians completing the form is estimated to be approximately 300. The average number of responses per respondent is estimated to be approximately 1.5 per child, approximately 177 per case manager and approximately 88 per clinician as clinicians will only participate in the Mobility Mapping process if the case is deemed "complex" due to extended length of stay, medically fragile status of the child, trafficking, abuse, or neglect history concerns, or other extenuating circumstances that may make reunification with a vetted sponsor more difficult. The average burden hour per response associated with this form is estimated to be 1.5 hours for the each of the respondents, including the child, case manager, and clinician.
Respondents: ORR grantee and contractor staff, unaccompanied children, and their sponsors.
