The Office of Refugee Resettlement
(ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Bureau provides care and
custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely
released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain
legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that
provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR
custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State licensed
(with the exception of those located in states unwilling to license
them and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR
requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services
provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited
to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation,
nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR
uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied
alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR
to place unaccompanied alien children referred to ORR by federal
agencies into care provider facilities and to transfer children
within the ORR care provider network. On September 26, 2025, the
Office of Management and Budget approved revised versions of forms
P-4 and P-7 through emergency approval, as authorized under 5 CFR
1320.13. During the upload and submission process, the updated
version of P-7 was inadvertently not saved after uploading. This
nonsubstantive change request updates form P-7 to the accurate
version.
ACF is requesting
emergency review and approval by OMB to update two forms approved
under the Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied Children into ORR
Care Provider Facilities information collection (OMB #0970-0554),
as authorized under 5 CFR 1320.13. ACF is requesting approval as
soon as possible due to secure beds becoming available on September
15, 2025 and requests 180 days of approval, during which time a
full revision request will be submitted under normal procedures
under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The information collection is
essential to the mission of the agency, the use of normal clearance
procedures is reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the
collection of information, and public harm is reasonably likely to
result if normal clearance procedures are followed. For additional
information see Attachment A.
