HHS Seeks Comment on Revisions to Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Program Reporting Forms

HHS is seeking public comment on proposed revisions to reporting forms for the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Program, not soliciting products or contracted services. - Government organizations: The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). - Forms under review: ORR-3 covers initial placement, termination, reentry, and case changes; ORR-4 records services received and outcomes. The forms are identified by OMB control number 0970-0034. - Proposed changes: Consolidate follow-up outcome reporting into one termination report; have providers report youth outcome measures instead of youths self-reporting; eliminate selected report types and unnecessary questions; and simplify questions, response options, and instructions. - Expected effect: The revisions are intended to reduce reporting burden by approximately 41 percent. Respondents are URM state or replacement designee agencies and URM provider agencies. - Procurement status: This is a request for public comment, not a procurement opportunity. No OEMs, vendors, products, quantities, or contracted services are identified.
