Section 412(a)(3) of INA (8 U.S.C. 1522(a)(3)) requires that the Director of ORR make a periodic assessment of the needs of refugees for assistance and services and the resources available to meet those needs. ORR proposes an extension with minor changes to the current form to ensure continuous information collection, enabling the ORR Director to better understand client demographics, services utilized, and the outcomes achieved by clients enrolled in certain ORR-funded programs. Data elements continue to include ORR program entrance and exit dates, biographical information, referrals for services, progress made toward achieving self-sufficiency, and employment status. During the 60-day comment period (88 FR 84145) ORR received comments regarding the proposed addition of two data elements. ORR has decided to delay the addition of client email address and phone number due to recent and rapid changes to the national interagency refugee landscape and the current operational capacity of ORR-funded service providers. Since the 60-day comment period, a data element has been added to indicate whether the initial client assessment was completed and a change to spacing in headers was made to improve data processing. The data collected will inform evidence-based policy making and program design. Respondents: States, Replacement Designees, and the District of Columbia.
