SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description
The components of this information request include:
1. Corrective Action Report (Form M-1): This instrument is used by
ORR Monitoring Team staff (includes federal and contractor staff), ORR
Federal Field Specialists, and ORR Project Officers to document care
provider non-compliance with minimum standards for the care and timely
release of UAC; federal and state laws and regulations; licensing
standards; ORR policies and procedures; and child welfare standards.
Care providers respond to each corrective action cited by ORR staff by
entering a detail corrective action plan into the instrument and
attaching any relevant supporting documents. Then, ORR staff document
when each corrective action plan is completed to ORR's satisfaction and
enter a final determination.

instrument is used by ORR Federal Field Specialists to document site
visit observations and interview responses.
