SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: A State Plan is a required
comprehensive narrative description of
the nature and scope of a state’s or
Replacement Designee’s (RD) Refugee
Resettlement Program and provides
assurances that the program will be
administered in conformity with the
specific requirements stipulated in 45
CFR 400.4–400.9. The State Plan must
include all applicable state or RD
procedures, designations, and
certifications for each requirement as
well as supporting documentation. The
plan assures ORR that the state or RD is
capable of administering refugee
assistance and coordinating
employment and other social services
for eligible caseloads in conformity with
specific requirements.
Changes proposed to the previously
approved State Plan for Grants to States
for Refugee Resettlement information
collection are described below. ORR is
proposing:
• Streamlining/formatting changes to
multiple sections of the form including
technical corrections to regulatory
citations and removing a number of
requirements related to the now
obsolete Wilson-Fish Alternative
Program (superseded by the Wilson-Fish
TANF Coordination Program, which
will have its own separate reporting
requirements).
• adding a number of requirements
related to Replacement Designees (RDs)
to ensure that they are administering the
Refugee Resettlement Program with
transparency and equity and to the same
standard as a state, including quarterly
consultation process, Refugee Medical
Assistance, Unaccompanied Refugee
Minors (URM), and emergency planning
to ensure ORR populations receive all
necessary information and services to
the extent possible.
• requesting additional information
related to the Refugee Support Services
(RSS) program; ORR’s current template
does not provide sufficient detailed
information for ORR to ascertain how a
grantee intends to provide RSS services
to its client base.
• improving the URM section to
correct inefficiencies, eliminate
unnecessary items, and address the
needs of victims of trafficking and
Special Immigrant Juveniles now
eligible for the URM program. In
particular, ORR is soliciting states’ and
RDs’ plans for placing children referred
by ORR and ensuring alignment with
federal capacity priorities.
Respondents: State agencies and RDs
under 45 CFR 400.301(c) administering
or supervising the administration of
programs.
