grantees that allows ACF to monitor
various specialized cost categories
within each program, to closely manage
program activities, and to have

generic, see: https://www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAViewDocument?ref_
nbr=202108-0970-002.
This specific GenIC request applies to
all ORR Refugee Support Services
grantees awarded regular base and ‘‘setaside’’ funding, all funding received
under the Afghanistan Supplemental
Appropriation, and funds received
under the Ukraine Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2022, and other
appropriations as communicated. All
grantees must complete reporting in
accordance with Statute. Currently
grantees use the SF–425 to report
standard required federal expenditure
data (OMB #: 4040–0014). The SF–425
requests grantees to report one
cumulative amount for all expenditures.
ORR is proposing to request that
grantees break out expenditure data by
financial account and program category/
set aside by providing more detailed
instructions for Box 12 of the SF–425
which designated for additional
remarks. The proposed supplemental
instructions will provide guidance and
assist grantees with submitting the
additional detail about federal
expenditure data reported on the SF–
245. The analysis of this data would
further support adherence to program
requirements.
Respondents: States, State Agency
Grantee Designees.

ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is inviting public
comments on revisions to an approved

(UC) Program to enhance monitoring
efforts at staff secure and long-term
group home providers and influx care
facilities that are not licensed by the
state, as well as continue standard
monitoring activities that ensure care
provider facilities are in compliance
with Federal and State laws and
regulations, licensing and accreditation
standards, ORR policies and procedures,
and child welfare standards.

obtained and comments may be
forwarded by emailing infocollection@
acf.hhs.gov. Identify all requests by the
title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ORR is proposing the
following revisions to this information
collection for the purpose of
establishing quarterly health and safety
monitoring visits for facilities located in
states that are unwilling to license
programs provider care to UC. ORR
previously published a notice
requesting public comment on
unlicensed facility monitoring tools for
other levels of care, which were recently
approved through emergency approval
for a period of 180 days. This request is
specific to staff secure and long-term
group home providers and influx care
facilities.
1. Added the following forms specific
to staff secure and long-term group
home facilities that were previously
approved by OMB but were removed
from the information collection due to
the number of respondents. Note that
ORR uses long-term foster care (LTFC)
monitoring tools for both LTFC and
long-term group home facilities; ORR
does not operate unlicensed LTFC
programs.
• Unlicensed Facility LTFC Monitoring
Notes (Form M–6C–UF)
• Unlicensed Facility LTFC UC Case
File Checklist (Form M–8B–UF)
• Unlicensed Facility Staff Secure
Addendum to Case File Checklist
(Form M–8D–UF)
• Unlicensed Facility Foster Home
Onsite Monitoring Checklist (M–9B–
UF)
2. Added the below-listed alternate
version of a form that was previously
approved by OMB but was removed
from the information collection due to
the number of respondents. Differences
between the previously approve version
and the alternate version are noted
below.
• ICF Monitoring Notes (Form M–6E)
Æ Instructs monitors to review the
facility’s contract and statement of work
(as opposed to the grant application and
cooperative agreement) to reflect the
funding method used for ICFs
Æ Removes the following sections that
are specific to grants.
D Fiscal year budget.
D Key positions approved by the
Project Officer
Æ Instructs monitors to review
Serious Incident Reports (SIRs) from the
past three months (as opposed to six
months for shelters). This revision does
not represent a reduction in SIR review,
rather it reflects the ongoing SIR review
process that occurs for ICFs. Monitors
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
are performing site visits within the first
three months of an ICR opening, which
means that there would only be three
months’ worth of SIRs available during
the initial site visit. Thereafter, three
months will cover review of all SIRs
since the last site visit. For example, if
an ICF opened at the start of January,
the initial site visit would occur by the
end of March and SIRs generated from
January through March would be
reviewed. The next site visit would then
occur at the end of June and during that
visit SIRs generated April through June
would be review. There would be no
need to review six months’ worth of
SIRs at that time because the SIRs
generated January through March would
have already been reviewed. This
pattern of quarterly reviews would
continue while the ICF is operational.
Æ Reworded questions under the
staffing plan section to be more specific
to contracts.
Æ Added instruction for monitors to
ensure that the facility is following their
supervision plan (as reported in the ICF
Site Visit Guide) for any staff whose
background checks are still pending.
Æ Removed questions on state
licensing.
Æ Removed section on mosquito
control inspections. These inspections
were originally established to address
concerns with the Zika virus and are no
longer performed.
3. Added the below-listed alternate
versions of forms already approved
under this information collection.
Differences between the already
approved versions and the alternate
versions are as noted below.
• ICF Monitoring Site Visit Guide
(Form M–7G)—Revisions were made to
develop a more in-depth guide to reflect
the size and complexity of influx sites.
ORR plans to pilot this revised guide at
ICFs and later decide on whether some
or all of these revisions should be made
to site visit guides for other levels of
care. ORR will seek OMB approval for
any future revision to other versions of
the site visit guide.
Æ Reorganized and grouped questions
under different sections, as well as
rewording questions and instructions
for clarity.
Æ Added text boxes and tables to
make clear where the ICF should enter
information.
Æ Added areas for the ICF to provide
a brief overview of their site operations
and list of subcontractors and their
respective scopes of work.
Æ Expanded the list of facility points
of contact requested.
Æ Added areas for the ICF to share
any innovative and/or best practices
implemented at the site and for the ICF
