Title: ORR—2 Quarterly Report on
Expenditures and Obligations.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR) reimburses, to the
extent of available appropriations,
certain non-federal costs for the
provision of cash and medical
assistance to refugees, along with
allowable expenses for the
administration the refugee resettlement
program at the State level. States (and
Wilson/Fish projects; i.e., alternative
projects for the administration of the

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 13, 2011 / Notices
submit the SF–425 Federal Financial
Report, which provides aggregate
expenditure and obligation data. This
proposed new data collection would
replace the current requirement for the
SF–425 with a report form that would
collect the same expenditures and
obligations data separately for each of
the four CMA program components:
refugee cash assistance, refugee medical
assistance, cash and medical assistance
administration, and services for
unaccompanied minors. This
breakdown of financial status data will
allow ORR to track program
expenditures in greater detail to
anticipate any funding issues and to
meet the requirements of ORR
regulations at CFR 400.211 to collect
these data for use in estimating future
costs of the refugee resettlement
program. ORR must implement the
methodology at CFR 400.211 each year
after receipt of its annual appropriation
to ensure that appropriated funds will
be adequate for reimbursement to States
of the costs for assistance provided to
entering refugees. The estimating
methodology prescribed in the
regulations requires the use of actual
past costs by program component. In the
event that the methodology indicates
that appropriated funds are inadequate,
ORR must take steps to reduce federal
expenses, such as by limiting the
number of months of eligibility for
Refugee Cash Assistance and Refugee
Medical Assistance. This proposed
single-page financial report will allow
ORR to collect the necessary data to
ensure that funds are adequate for the
projected need and thereby meet the
requirements of both the Refugee Act
and ORR regulations, as well as provide
the data currently required in aggregate
by the SF–425.
Respondents: State governments,
Wilson/Fish Alternative Projects.

Description: The Annual Survey of
Refugees collects information on the
social and economic circumstances of a
random sample of refugees, Amerasians,
and entrants who arrived in the United
States in the five years prior to the date
of the survey. The survey focuses on the
refugees training, labor force
participation, and welfare utilization
rates. Dates are segmented by region of
origin, State of resettlement, and
number of months since arrival. From
the responses, the Office of Refugee
Resettlement reports on the economic
adjustment of refugees to the American
economy. These data are used by
Congress in its annual deliberations for
refugee admissions and funding and by
program managers in formulating
policies for the future direction of the
Refugee Resettlement Program.

Amerasians, and Havana parolees.
