SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Amounts for Allocation

    The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has available (after 
rescission and adjustments) $164,888,000 in Fiscal Year 2005 refugee 
social service funds as part of the FY 2005 appropriation under the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, (Pub. L. 108-447). This amount 
reflects a rescission of 0.008 applied across the board to all line 
items.
    The FY 2005 Conference Report (H. Rpt. No. 108-792) reads as 
follows with respect to Refugee and Entrant Assistance:

    ``The conference agreement includes $488,336,000 for the refugee 
and entrant assistance programs rather than $491,336,000 as proposed 
by the House and $477,239,000 as proposed by the Senate * * *
    The conference agreement provides $166,218,000 for social 
services, the same level as proposed in the House bill. The Senate 
had proposed $155,121,000 for this program. Within the funds 
provided, the conference agreement includes $19,000,000 as outlined 
in the House report. The conferees intend that funds provided above 
the request for social services shall be used for refugee school 
impact grants and for additional assistance in resettling and 
meeting the needs of the Hmong and Somali Bantu refugees expected to 
arrive during 2004 and 2005.
    The conferees also urge the Office of Refugee Resettlement to 
continue supporting discretionary grant activities, such as the 
individual development accounts, community service employment, and 
elderly refugee programs to the extent they have been successful in 
integrating refugees into society and promoting their self 
sufficiency.''

    The House Committee Report, H. Rpt. No. 108-636 states under Social 
Services:

    ``The Committee provides $166,218,000 for social services. This 
is $15,097,000 more than the budget request and $14,000,000 more 
than the fiscal year 2004 level. Funds are distributed by formula as 
well as through the discretionary grant making process for special 
projects. The Committee intends that

[[Page 30752]]

funds provided above the request shall be used for Refugee School 
Impact Grants and for additional assistance in resettling and 
meeting the needs of the Hmong refugees expected to arrive during 
2004 and 2005.
    Within the funds provided, the Committee has included 
$19,000,000 for increased support to communities with large 
concentrations of Cuban and Haitian refugees of varying ages whose 
cultural differences make assimilation especially difficult, 
justifying a more intense level and longer duration of Federal 
assistance for healthcare and education.''

    ORR intends to use the $164,888,000 appropriated (after rescission) 
for FY 2005 social services as follows:
     $77M will be allocated under the 3-year population (FYs 
2002, 2003, and 2004) formula, as set forth in this notice for the 
purpose of providing employment services and other needed services to 
refugees.
     $2M will be allocated under the 3-year population formula, 
as a set-aside for citizenship and naturalization preparation services 
for the elderly.
     Approximately $17M is expected to be awarded as new social 
service discretionary grants under new and prior year standing 
competitive grant announcements issued separately from this proposed 
notice.
     Approximately $19M is expected to be awarded to serve 
communities most heavily affected by recent Cuban and Haitian entrant 
and refugee arrivals. These funds will be awarded under a prior year 
separate announcement.
     Approximately $24M is expected to be awarded through 
discretionary grants for continuation of awards made in prior years.
     Approximately $15M in FY 2005 social services funding will 
be awarded under a separate announcement for educational support to 
schools with a significant proportion of refugee children, consistent 
with previous support to schools heavily impacted by large 
concentrations of refugees.
     Approximately $9.6M is reserved for future distribution.

Refugee Social Service Funds

    The FY 2005 population figures that have been used for this 
proposed formula social services allocation include refugees, 
Amerasians from Viet Nam, Cuban/Haitian entrants, Havana parolees, 
asylees, and victims of severe forms of trafficking for FYs 2002, 2003, 
and 2004. These population figures were adjusted in the proposed 
allocation to reflect more accurate information on arrivals, secondary 
migration (including that of victims of severe forms of trafficking), 
asylees, and entrant data submitted by States. (See Section IV. Basis 
of Population Estimates.)
    The Director proposes to allocate $77,136,460 to States on the 
basis of each State's proportion of the national population of refugees 
who have been in the U.S. three years or less as of October 1, 2004 
(including a floor amount for States that have small refugee 
populations). Of the amount proposed to be awarded, approximately $6.4 
million is expected to be awarded to Wilson/Fish Alternative Projects 
providing social services. As previously stated, $2,000,000 will be 
allocated as a set-aside for citizenship and naturalization preparation 
services for the elderly.
    The use of the 3-year population base in the allocation formula is 
required by section 412(c)(1)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act 
(INA) which states that ``funds available for a fiscal year for grants 
and contracts [for social services] * * * shall be allocated among the 
States based on the total number of refugees (including children and 
adults) who arrived in the United States not more than 36 months before 
the beginning of such fiscal year and who are actually residing in each 
State (taking into account secondary migration) as of the beginning of 
the fiscal year.''
    As established in the FY 1992 social services notice published in 
the Federal Register on August 29, 1991, section I, ``Allocation 
Amounts'' (56 FR 42745), a variable floor amount for States which have 
small refugee populations is calculated as follows: If the application 
of the regular allocation formula yields less than $100,000, then--
    (1) A base amount of $75,000 is provided for a State with a 
population of 50 or fewer refugees who have been in the U.S. 3 years or 
less; and
    (2) For a State with more than 50 refugees who have been in the 
U.S. 3 years or less: (a) A floor has been calculated consisting of 
$50,000 plus the regular per capita allocation for refugees above 50 up 
to a total of $100,000 (in other words, the maximum under the floor 
formula is $100,000); (b) if this calculation has yielded less than 
$75,000, a base amount of $75,000 is provided for the State.

Population To Be Served and Allowable Services

    Eligibility for refugee social services includes persons who meet 
all requirements of 45 CFR 400.43 (see Footnote 1 on page 1 for service 
populations). In addition, persons granted asylum are eligible for 
refugee benefits and services from the date that asylum was granted 
(See ORR State Letter No. 00-12, effective June 15, 2000, as clarified 
by ORR State Letter No. 00-15, August 3, 2000). Victims of a severe 
form of trafficking who have received a certification or eligibility 
letter from ORR and certain other specified family members are eligible 
from the date on the certification letter (see ORR State Letter No. 01-
13, May 3, 2001, as modified by ORR State Letter No. 02-01, January 4, 
2002, and ORR State Letter, No.04-12, June 18, 2004).
    Services to refugees must be provided in accordance with the rules 
of 45 CFR part 400 Subpart I--Refugee Social Services. Although the 
allocation formula is based on the 3-year refugee population (FYs 2002, 
2003, and 2004), States may provide services to refugees who have been 
in the country up to 60 months (5 years), with the exception of 
referral and interpreter services and citizenship and naturalization 
preparation services for which there is no time limitation (45 CFR 
400.152(b)).
    Under waiver authority at 45 CFR 400.300, the Director of ORR may 
issue a waiver of the limitation on eligibility for social services 
contained in 45 CFR 400.152(b). There is no blanket waiver of this 
provision in effect for FY 2004. States may apply for a waiver of 45 
CFR 400.152(b) in writing to the Director of ORR. Each waiver request 
will be reviewed based on supporting data and information provided. The 
Director of ORR will approve or disapprove each waiver request as 
expeditiously as possible.
    A State must, however, have an approved State plan for the Cuban/
Haitian Entrant Program or indicate in its refugee program State plan 
that Cuban/Haitian entrants will be served in order to use funds on 
behalf of entrants as well as refugees.
    Allowable social services are those indicated in 45 CFR 400.154 and 
400.155. Additional services not included in these sections that the 
State may wish to provide must be submitted to and approved by the 
Director of ORR as required under 45 CFR 400.155(h).

Service Priorities

    In accordance with 45 CFR 400.147, States are required to provide 
social services to refugees in the following order of priority, except 
in certain individual extreme circumstances: (a) All newly arriving 
refugees during their first year in the U.S. who apply for services; 
(b) refugees who are receiving cash assistance; (c) unemployed refugees 
who are not receiving cash assistance; and (d) employed refugees in 
need of services to retain employment or to attain economic 
independence. In order for refugees to leave Temporary

[[Page 30753]]

Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) quickly, States should, to the 
extent possible, ensure that all newly arriving refugees receive 
refugee-specific services designed to address the employment barriers 
that refugees typically face.
    ORR encourages States to re-examine the range of services they 
currently offer to refugees. Those States that have had success in 
helping refugees achieve early employment may find it to be a good time 
to expand beyond the provision of basic employment services and address 
the broader needs that refugees have in order to enhance their ability 
to maintain financial security and to successfully integrate into the 
community. Other States may need to reassess the delivery of employment 
services in light of local economic conditions and develop new 
strategies to better serve the newly arriving refugee groups.
    States should also be aware that ORR will make social services 
formula funds available to pay for social services that are provided to 
refugees who participate in Wilson/Fish projects which can be 
administered by public or private non-profit agencies, including 
refugee, faith-based and community organizations. Section 412(e)(7)(A) 
of the INA provides that:

The Secretary [of HHS] shall develop and implement alternative 
projects for refugees who have been in the United States less than 
thirty-six months, under which refugees are provided interim 
support, medical services, support [social] services, and case 
management, as needed, in a manner that encourages self-sufficiency, 
reduces welfare dependency, and fosters greater coordination among 
the resettlement agencies and service providers.

    This provision is generally known as the Wilson/Fish Amendment. The 
Department has already issued a separate standing notice with respect 
to applications for such projects. The notice can be found in the 
Federal Register [Volume 69, FR 65, pages 17692-17700, (April 5, 
2004)].
    States are encouraged to consider eligible sub-recipients for 
formula social service funds, including public or private non-profit 
agencies such as, refugee, faith-based, and community organizations.

II. Comments and Response

    Note: This section is reserved for discussion of comments and 
response in the Final Notice.

III. Allocation Formulas

    Of the funds available for FY 2005 for social services, $77,136,460 
is proposed to be allocated to States in accordance with the formula 
specified in A. below.
    A. A State's allowable formula allocation is calculated as follows:
    1. The total amount of funds determined by the Director to be 
available for this purpose; divided by
    2. The total number of refugees, Cuban/Haitian entrants, parolees, 
and Amerasians from Viet Nam, as shown by the ORR Refugee Arrivals Data 
System (RADS) for FYs 2002, 2003, and 2004, and victims of severe forms 
of trafficking as shown by the certification and eligibility letters 
issued by ORR, who arrived in the United States not more than 3 years 
prior to the beginning of the fiscal year for which the funds are 
appropriated. This total also includes the total number of asylees who 
have been served by a State through its refugee resettlement or social 
services system in FYs 2002, 2003, and 2004. The resulting per capita 
amount is multiplied by--
    3. The number of persons in item 2, above, in the State as of 
October 1, 2004, adjusted for estimated secondary migration.
    The calculation above yields the formula allocation for each State. 
Minimum allocations for small States are taken into account.

IV. Basis of Population Estimates

    The population estimates for the proposed allocation of funds in 
Fiscal Year 2005 for the formula social service allocation are based on 
data on refugee arrivals for FYs 2002, 2003, and 2004 from the ORR 
Refugee Arrivals Data System (RADS), adjusted as of September 30, 2004, 
for estimated secondary migration. The data base includes refugees of 
all nationalities, Amerasians from Viet Nam, Cuban and Haitian 
entrants, Havana parolees, asylees, and trafficking victims. Data on 
the number of asylees who have been served in FYs 2002, 2003, and 2004 
through the refugee resettlement program or social service system are 
provided by States. Data on trafficking victims are taken from the 
total number of trafficking victims' certification and eligibility 
letters issued by ORR.
    Consistent with States' requests, in Fiscal Year 2005, ORR 
implemented a new voluntary process for data submission by States prior 
to issuance of the proposed allocations in an effort to minimize 
adjustments of final allocations. Prior to the publication of the 
proposed notice, the request for voluntary data submission was sent to 
States via e-mail on December 20, 2004 with a due date of February 8, 
2005. States were requested to follow the standardized EXCEL format 
suggested by ORR to submit the data on asylees, entrants, and/or family 
members of victims of a severe form of trafficking served during FY 
2004. Data for each population group was to be submitted separately on 
an EXCEL spreadsheet. The spreadsheet(s) was due at ORR on February 8, 
2005, as an attachment to an e-mail to: lbussert@acf.hhs.gov. States 
that did not respond to the December 20, 2004 request are hereby 
notified that ORR will accept data from States in response to this 
proposed social services notice. Data to be submitted by States will be 
verified by ORR against the ORR arrival database (RADS), and 
adjustments may be included, as a result of this process, in the final 
notice of social service allocation for FY 2005. Deadline for 
submission of data or comments to ORR is 30 days from publication of 
this proposed notice. This is the final opportunity for States to 
submit data to ORR on the number of asylees, entrants or family members 
of trafficking victims served during FY 2004. The EXCEL format for data 
submission is available from Kathy Do by e-mail at Kdo@acf.hhs.gov.
    As previously stated, ORR proposed formula social service 
allocations for the States for FY 2005 are based on the numbers of 
refugee arrivals, Amerasians, entrants, Havana parolees, asylees, and 
victims of a severe form of trafficking. Refugee numbers are based upon 
the arrivals during the preceding FYs 2002, 2003, and 2004 adjusted as 
of September 30, 2004, for estimated secondary migration. The proposed 
allocations also reflect adjustments for family members of victims of 
severe forms of trafficking served in FY 2004, and asylees who have 
been served by the States in FYs 2002, 2003, and 2004 through the 
refugee resettlement program or social service system. Data on Havana 
parolees who entered the U.S. through a controlled process at the Port 
of Miami are also included in the proposed allocations. Data on 
entrants includes information on those who arrived in the U.S. through 
Miami, data on entrants submitted by States on entrants who arrived in 
the U.S. through a land border or port of entry other than Miami, and 
information on those who have migrated from southern Florida and are 
receiving services in another State.
    The data on secondary migration are based on data submitted by all 
participating States on Form ORR-11 on refugee secondary migrants who 
have resided in the U.S. for 36 months or less, as of September 30, 
2004. The total migration reported by each State was due to ORR on 
January 5, 2005. Asylees and victims of trafficking data are not

[[Page 30754]]

captured on the Form ORR-11, therefore, State's data on asylees, 
victims of trafficking and their family members accessing benefits and 
services are used to ensure current information for allocations 
purposes. The total migration data from Form ORR-11 is summed, yielding 
in- and out-migration figures and a net migration figure for each 
State. The net migration figure is applied to the State's total arrival 
figure, resulting in a revised ORR population estimate. ORR 
calculations are developed separately for refugees and entrants and 
then combined into a total proposed 3-year refugee/entrant population 
for each State. Eligible Amerasians are included in the refugee 
figures. Havana parolees (HP's) are enumerated in a separate column in 
Table 1, below, because they are tabulated separately from other 
entrants. Havana parolee arrivals for all States are based on actual 
data.
    Table 1 (attached) shows the estimated 3-year populations, as of 
October 1, 2004, of refugees (col. 1), entrants (col. 2), asylees (col. 
3), Havana parolees (col.4), victims of trafficking (col. 5), total 
population, (col. 6), the proposed formula amounts which the population 
yields (col. 7), proposed allocation (col. 8), elderly set-aside (col. 
9), and total proposed allocations (col. 10).

V. Proposed Allocation Amounts

    Funding subsequent to the publication of this proposed notice will 
be contingent upon the submission and approval of a State annual 
services plan that is developed on the basis of a local consultative 
process, as required by 45 CFR 400.11(b)(2) in the ORR regulations.
    Table 1, attached, represents the FY 2005 proposed social service 
formula allocations.
