SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The RSS and RSS Set Aside Sub-Agency List requests grantees to provide the agency name, city, state, website, and funding amount for each contracted sub-grantee.
The information will be used for national resource mapping pertaining to ORR RSS funding at the local level. Improved communication and the knowledge of all local providers is important to ORR's overall oversight of the program. In addition to RSS formula funding to states and state replacement agencies who then issue sub-awards to local providers, ORR also awards discretionary grants that directly fund local refugee service providers. This report will continue to provide ORR a complete picture of the availability all ORR resources to assist newly arrived refugees at the local level increasing our ability to identify gaps or target areas of need.
Respondents: State agencies and replacement designees under 45 CFR 400.301(c) administering or supervising the administration of programs.
