administered in conformity with the
specific requirements stipulated in 45
CFR 400.4–400.9. The State Plan must
include all applicable State procedures,
designations, and certifications for each
requirement as well as supporting
documentation.
The plan assures ORR that the State
is capable of administering refugee
assistance and coordinating
employment and other social services
for eligible caseloads in conformity with
specific requirements. ORR proposes
organizational and formatting changes
to make the checklist more accessible to
the user. Additionally, ORR proposes
streamlining language to make the
checklist easier to read. These proposed
changes include technical corrections to
regulatory citations. ORR proposes
removing a number of requirements,
including an assurance regarding the
inclusion of refugee resettlement
programs in pandemic influenza
emergency plans and a basic description
of providers conducting medical
screening. ORR proposes to remove a
requirement that all states describe a
plan for the care, supervision of, and
legal responsibility for, refugee children
who become unaccompanied in the
state. ORR also proposes to remove
requirements specific to the Cuban/
Haitian entrants and replace them with
an assurance that states will provide all
ORR-eligible populations with the
