ACTION:
Notice of a modified system of
records.
The Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) is modifying a
system of records maintained by the
Administration for Children & Families
(ACF), 09–80–0327 ORR Repatriation
Program Records, to reflect the change
ownership of the repatriation program
that was transferred to ACF’s Office of
Human Services Emergency
Preparedness and Response (OHSEPR),
and to broaden the scope of the system
of records to include functionally
similar records that OHSEPR uses to
identify, assess, and address immediate
unmet human services (i.e., social
services) needs of survivors of federallydeclared disasters in the United States.
To reflect the transfer and broadened
scope, HHS is changing the name of the
system of records to OHSEPR
Repatriation and Disaster Human
Services Case Management Records.
SUMMARY:
This modified system of records
is applicable September 14, 2023,
subject to a 30-day period to comment
on the new and revised routine uses.
Submit any comments by October 16,
2023. The new and revised routine uses
will become effective on October 16,
2023 unless the Department receives
comments that would persuade us to
modify the notice.

The public should address
written comments on the proposed
system of records to Anita Alford,
Senior Official for Privacy,
Administration for Children & Families
by email, to Anita.Alford@acf.hhs.gov.
ADDRESSES:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
General questions about the system of
records may be submitted to the
OHSEPR Deputy Director, Byron R.
Mason, by telephone at (202) 365–8110
or by email to Byron.Mason@
acf.hhs.gov.
HHS
established system of records 09–80–
0327 in 2016 to cover records about
temporary assistance provided to
repatriated U.S. citizens and their
dependents under ACF’s repatriation
program, to meet the individuals’
human service’s needs. At that time, the
repatriation program was administered
by ACF’s Office of Refugee Resettlement
(ORR). In 2018, ACF transferred
responsibility for the repatriation
program to ACF’s Office of Human
Services Emergency Preparedness and
Response (OHSEPR) that also
administers ACF’s disaster assistance
program. Because the records used for
both programs are functionally similar
(i.e., they are case files documenting
services provided to meet the
individuals’ human service’s needs),
HHS is broadening the scope of system
of records 09–80–0327 to include
