Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 238 / Wednesday, December 13, 2017 / Notices
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
(Replacement Desingees and Wilson/
Fish projects; i.e., alternative projects
for the administration of the refugee
resettlement program) currently submit
the ORR–2 Quarterly Report on
Expenditures and Obligations, which
provides aggregate expenditure and
obligation data. This proposed data
collection collects 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
allows 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 allows 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.
Respondents: State governments,
Replacement Designees, and Wilson/
Fish Alternative Projects.

title IV–B/IV–E agency for placement,
care, and adoption. Effective October 1,
2009, section 479B(b) of the Act
authorizes direct Federal funding of
Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and
Tribal consortia that choose to operate
a foster care, adoption assistance and, at

for short/long-term budget projections,
trend analysis, child and family service
reviews, and to target areas for
improved technical assistance. The data
will provide information about foster
care placements, adoptive parents,
length of time in care, delays in
termination of parental rights and
placement for adoption.
Respondents: Title IV–E State and
Tribal Child Welfare Agencies.
