Services for Unaccompanied Children
(0970–0565)
Office of Refugee Resettlement,

Families, Department of Health and
Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
AGENCY:
The Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is proposing to continue
to collect information that will allow the
Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program
to provide legal services to UC. These
information collections were originally
approved under emergency approval for
6 months. This request is to continue
data collection. This is a time sensitive
request because all of these forms are
already in use and must continue to be
in use in order for the UC Program to
meet its statutory obligations.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB is required to make a
decision concerning the collection of
information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.

Path case management system and
revisions based on public comments
will be made after initial launch. ORR
plans to conduct a deliberative review
of commenters’ suggestions and
concerns and submit a request for

throughout the instruments in this
collection. Note that the screenshots of
UC Path instruments attached to this
memo do not reflect this change because

• Remove the term ‘‘alien’’ from the
title of this information collection and
revise it to read ‘‘Legal Services for
Unaccompanied Children.’’
