abstract: This information collection is
part of the Evaluation of the justice
AmericCorp (jAC) Legal Services for
Unaccompanied Children Program
(‘‘Program’’), and is funded by Executive
Office for Immigration Review (EOIR),
U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), in
cooperation with the Corporation for
National and Community Services
(CNCS). The Program is intended to
provide legal services to children under
the age of 16 who: (1) Are not in the
custody of the Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR) or the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS), i.e. have
been released to sponsors (who are
sometimes parents or guardians) in the
community; (2) have received a Notice
to Appear in removal proceedings
before EOIR; and, (3) have not had their
cases consolidated with removal
proceedings with a parent or legal
guardian. The Program anticipates being
able to provide services to 3,000
children in the first year, and 5,000
children annually every year thereafter.
The information collection will be
administered by the Vera Center on
Immigration and Justice to provide
performance measurement and
evaluation services that will contribute
to the efficiency and effectiveness of the
Program, to address implementation
challenges, to inform and improve
program design, to modify program
operations and direction, and to
contribute to greater accountability and
transparency. The Program will use four
data collection methods: (1)
Performance measurement data entered
by jAC member organizations in a
secure on-line, Vera-designed Caspio
database for the purpose of semi-annual
reporting to the federal funder; (2)
qualitative interviews of jAC program
managers and selected DOJ employees
(e.g. immigration judges) conducted by
telephone and in person during site
visits for the purpose of implementation
evaluation; (3) qualitative interviews
with a small sample of unaccompanied
children, who are provided with legal
representation by the jAC program to
document their understanding of
immigration proceedings as a result of
participation in the program; and (4) a
brief, non-identifiable survey of jAC
members (staff attorneys) at the end of
their terms of service to determine their
satisfaction with participation in the
program.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: An estimated 100 jAC
members will take part in the survey
annually. Based on similar surveys used
by Vera to evaluate other programs, an
E:\FR\FM\12FEN1.SGM
12FEN1
7880
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 29 / Thursday, February 12, 2015 / Notices
average of 45 minutes per respondent is
needed to complete the exit survey. The
estimated range of burden for jAC
members is expected to be between 30
minutes to 1 hour for completion. An
estimated 1,000 children will take part
in the survey annually. The survey for
assessing the child’s understanding of
immigration proceedings is estimated to
take 1.5 hours per respondent to
complete. The estimated range of
burden for surveyed children is
expected to be between 1 hour and 2
hours for completion. The factors
considered when creating the burden
estimate were the young age of the
children (between the ages of 12 and 16)
and the fact that the survey would be
conducted via an in-person interview.
An estimated 200 jAC program
stakeholders will take part in the survey
annually. Based on similar surveys used
by Vera to evaluate other programs, an
average of 75 minutes per respondent is
needed to complete the exit survey. The
estimated range of burden for jAC
program stakeholders is expected to be
between 30 minutes to 2 hours for
completion.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden
associated with this collection is 1825
hours. It is estimated that 100 jAC
members will take 45 minutes hour to
complete the survey; 1,000 children will
take 1.5 hours to complete the survey;
and 200 jAC stakeholders 75 minutes to
complete the survey. The burden hours
for collecting respondent data sum to
1825 hours ((100 jAC members × 45
minutes = 75 hours) + (1,000 children ×
1.5 hours = 1,500 hours) + (200 jAC
stakeholders × 75 minutes = 250 hours)).
