Title: Tribal TANF Data Report, TANF
Annual Report, and Reasonable Cause/
Corrective Action Documentation
Process- Final.
OMB No.: 0970–0215.
Description: 42 U.S.C. 612 (section
412 of the Social Security Act as
amended by Public Law 104–193, the
Personal Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996
(PRWORA)), mandates that federally
recognized Indian Tribes with an
approved Tribal TANF program collect
and submit to the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human
Services data on the recipients served
by the Tribes’ programs. This
information includes both aggregated
and disaggregated data on case
characteristics and individual
characteristics. In addition, Tribes that
are subject to a penalty are allowed to
provide reasonable cause justifications
as to why a penalty should not be
imposed or may develop and implement
corrective compliance procedures to
eliminate the source of the penalty.
Finally, there is an annual report, which
requires the Tribes to describe program
characteristics. All of the above
requirements are currently approved by
OMB and the Administration for
Children and Families is simply
proposing to extend them without any
changes.
Respondents: Indian Tribes.

OMB No.: 0970–0150.
Description: Description: Section
658K of the Child Care and

(42 U.S.C. 9858, as amended by Pub. L.
113–186) requires that States and

reporting are at 45 CFR 98.70 and 98.71.
Annual aggregate reports include data
elements represented in the ACF–800
reflecting the scope, type, and methods
of child care delivery. This provides
ACF with the information necessary to
make reports to Congress, address
national child care needs, offer
technical assistance to grantees, meet
performance measures, and conduct
research.
Consistent with the recent
reauthorization of the CCDBG statute,
ACF requests reinstatement and revision
of the ACF–800 including a number of
changes and clarifications to the
reporting requirements and instructions.
Most notably, section 658K(a)(2)(F) of
the CCDBG Act now requires States to
report the number of fatalities occurring
among children while in the care and
facility of child care providers serving
CCDF children. The new data element
will be required with the reporting
period beginning on October 1 of 2015
(FFY 2016).
Respondents: States, the District of
Columbia, and Territories including
Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands,
American Samoa, and the Northern
Marianna Islands.

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects: ORR,
Unaccompanied Children’s Program,
Division of Children’s Services (DCS)
Title: Information Collection and
Record Keeping for the Timely
Placement and Release of
Unaccompanied Children (UC) in ORR
Care
OMB No.:
Description:
On March 1, 2003, the Homeland
Security Act of 2002, Section 462,
transferred responsibilities for the care
and placement of unaccompanied
children from the Commissioner of the
Immigration and Naturalization Service
to the Director of the Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR). ORR is also
governed by the provisions established
by the Flores Agreement in 1997 and the
William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims
Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA)
of 2008.
The ORR Unaccompanied Children’s
Program provides placement, care,

Jkt 235001
custody and services for UC until they
can be successfully released to a
sponsor, are repatriated to their home
country, or able to obtain legal status.
Through cooperative agreements and
contracts, ORR funds residential care
providers that provide temporary
housing and other services to
unaccompanied children in ORR
custody. These care provider facilities
are State licensed and must meet ORR
requirements to ensure a high level
quality of care. They provide a
continuum of care for children,
including placements in ORR foster
care, group homes, shelter, staff secure,
secure, and residential treatment
centers. The care providers provide
children with classroom education,
health care, socialization/recreation,
vocational training, mental health
services, access to legal services, and
case management.
Under the law, ORR and its care
providers are required to:
(1) Collect information about each UC
who is entrusted to the care of ORR in
order to determine the most appropriate
and least restrictive placement, provide
adequate services, and identify qualified
sponsors for the timely release of the
child or youth. ORR has developed
instruments to assess the child or youth
and his or her needs and conditions
throughout his or her stay with ORR as
well as the identification and
assessment of potential sponsors. These
instruments allow for consistency and
compliance of standards across care
providers and help ORR monitor
programs and identify problems and
issues that need corrective action.
(2) Keep up-to-date records to ensure
the child or youth’s safety and security
and care and to provide accountability
with all Federal and State, licensing,
and other standards by care providers.
(3) Notify UC of their rights and
responsibilities under the law,
including notice about ORR services,
the fact that that they have the right to
apply for Special Immigrant Juvenile
(SIJ) status, and their legal responsibility
to attend an immigration hearing.
These tasks are mainly conducted
through the ORR online database (The
UC Portal), which provides a central
location for case records and the
documentation of other activities (for
example, when a child or youth is
transferred to another facility). Many of
these records are ‘‘auto-populated’’ on
the UC Portal once the original data
points are completed (such as DOB, A
number, date of initial placement).
The data collection described here
pertains to activities involving UC and
care providers from initial intakes of UC
into ORR care to his or her release from

ORR care. It does not cover information
collection for potential sponsors
(Submitted via separate OMB request in
January 2015.)
ORR has applied the following
assumptions to this request:
(1) Items related to tasks that are
routine and customary for care
providers and others are excluded. This
includes quarterly or annual financial or
other reports, grant related requests
from ORR Project Officers or others for
monitoring performance and progress,
and third party notifications to other
government agencies, such as U.S.
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) or U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ). (For financial and other reports,
Care Providers use templates posted on
https://www.acf.hhs.gov/grants/grants_
resources.html#reporting)
(2) Data collection and reporting
requirements do not reflect those
required by State or local licensing or
accreditation requirements.
(3) Acknowledgement of receipt of
information or other acknowledgements
via signature by either the UC or the
care provider or others are not included
in this information request as these are
administrative in nature in order to help
care providers and UC track personal
belongings, DHS related documents,
medical records, and other important
items required by the UC following
release from ORR care.
The components of this information
request include:
(1) UC Portal Capacity Report: Care
providers complete the sections on ‘‘In
Care’’ and ‘‘Beds in Reserve’’ as well as
the section recording the UC who have
been discharged on a daily basis so that
ORR Intakes has a complete picture of
available beds for UC placements.
(2) The Further Assessment Swift
Track (FAST) Placement Tool (Versions
for Secure and Staff Secure placements):
Initially used by ORR Intakes to
determine when a UC warrants a
placement in Secure or Staff Secure
Care. Care providers must use the tool
to update a status for UC who are placed
in Secure Care at least every 30 days.
(Care providers are not required to reuse tool for UC who have been placed
in Staff Secure Care).
(3) Placement Authorization: Autogenerated. Requires a signature from the
care provider acknowledging a
particular UC placement into their
facility.
(4) Notice of Placement in Secure or
Staff Secure Facility: Acknowledges
UC’s placement in a secure or staff
secure care provider facility with
signature of UC and facility witness.
(5) Initial Intakes Assessment:
