Supplementary Information

Description: The ORR-6 is designed to satisfy the statutory requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Specifically, section 412(a)(7) of INA (8 U.S.C. 1522(a)(7)) requires that the Director monitor refugee resettlement assistance, including collecting data on the services provided and the results achieved. Data elements include output data that measures services provided by programs for school-aged youth, elderly populations, and for overall health promotion. The data collected will inform evidence-based policymaking and program design. The ORR-6 is an OMB-approved form under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). ORR proposes to extend OMB approval for the ORR-6 with minor changes to the instructions and reduction of reporting burden through removal of data points from the Annual Service Plan. ORR staff and ORR funding recipients will benefit from accurate and clear instructions that support current reporting requirements. Respondents: States, Replacement Designees, and the District of Columbia. Annual Burden Estimates: ACF estimates the proposed changes reduce response burden from 15 to 13 hours.
