Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 18, 2024 / Notices
2009, Public Law 110–417, as amended
by Public Law 111–212, hereafter
referred to as ‘‘the Act.’’ The Duncan
Hunter National Defense Authorization
Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 110–417) was
enacted on October 14, 2008. Section
872 of this Act required the
development and maintenance of an
information system that contains
specific information on the integrity and
performance of covered Federal agency
contractors and grantees.
The Federal Awardee Performance
and Integrity Information System
(FAPIIS) was developed to address these
requirements and has been superseded
by the System for Award Management
(SAM) at SAM.gov. SAM provides users
access to integrity information from the
FAPIIS reporting module in the
Contractor Performance Assessment
Reporting System (CPARS), proceedings
information from the Entity
Management section of the SAM
database, and suspension/debarment
information from the Exclusions section
of SAM.
As required by 2 CFR part 200
Uniform Administrative Requirements,
Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards,
effective January 1, 2016, Federal
agencies are required to review and
consider any information about the
applicant that is in SAM before making
any award in excess of the simplified
acquisition threshold, defined in 41
U.S.C. 134, over the period of
performance.
Non-Federal entities (NFEs) are
required to disclose any information
about criminal, civil, and administrative
proceedings, and/or affirm that there is
no new information to provide. This
applies to NFEs that receive Federal
awards (currently active grants,
cooperative agreements, and
procurement contracts), as required by
45 CFR part 75, Appendix XII, of the
Uniform Guidance, for any period of
time during the period of performance
of an award/project.

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 is inviting public comment on
revisions to an approved information
collection. The request consists of
several forms that allow the
Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program
to provide legal and advocacy services
to unaccompanied children.
DATES: Comments due August 19, 2024.
In compliance with the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), ACF is soliciting public
comment on the specific aspects of the
information collection described above.

requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This request is to remove
two forms from this collection, add two
new forms, move one form from a
different information collection into this
collection (with revisions), and revise
three existing forms in this collection.
ORR also proposes retitling this
information collection ‘‘Legal and
Advocacy Services for Unaccompanied
Children.’’
Discontinued Forms
ORR plans to remove the following
forms from this information collection:
• Motion for Change of Venue (Form
L–7): This instrument was created for
the UC Path case management system
and was intended to be used for filing
a motion for change of venue for
children transferring to a different ORR
care provider program. However, the UC
Path system was never implemented,
and this form has never been used. In
addition, this function is performed by
an entity that is party to the
proceedings, typically the child’s legal
representative or Immigration and
Customs Enforcement, because the
decision to file a change of venue may
affect the child’s immigration case. A
change of venue is filed for cases where
a Notice to Appear has been filed. Since
neither ORR nor its care provider
programs perform this function, the
form is not needed.
• Post Legal Status Plan (Form L–8):
The information collected in this form
was incorporated into the Legal Services
Plan section of the Category 4 Discharge
Plan (Form R–9, currently approved
under OMB #0970–0552). Therefore,
ORR plans to discontinue this form.
New Forms
ORR plans to add the following new
forms to this information collection:
• Case Status Summary for Executive
Office for Immigration Review (Form L–
9): This form is completed by the
Federal Field Specialist (FFS) or care
provider and sent to the Executive
Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) in
advance of a child’s immigration
hearing. The form provides basic
information needed to ensure that EOIR
has accurate information on the child’s
case status. A copy of the form is also
shared with the child’s legal service
provider or attorney of record and child
advocate (if applicable).
• Recommended States List (Form L–
11): This form is completed by legal
service providers for children without
viable sponsorship options or where the
child is expected to remain in ORR
custody for 3 or more months. The form

18JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 18, 2024 / Notices
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
provides a recommended list of states
where long-term foster care programs
are present, taking into account the
child’s potential immigration case.
Forms Transferred From a Different
Information Collection
ORR plans to transfer the Child
Advocate Recommendation and
Appointment form into this information
collection (currently approved under
OMB #0970–0553). ORR also plans to
move Section B: Recommendation and
Appointment and Section C: ORR
Approval into a separate form to better
facilitate the referral, recommendation,
and appointment process. The separate
form containing the information
collected in Sections B and C will be
completed by fewer than 10 respondents
and is, therefore, not subject to PRA and
is not included in this request.
In addition, ORR plans to make the
following revisions to the current
content:
• Rename the form Child Advocate
Referral (Form L–12A).
• Replace ‘‘UC’’ with ‘‘child’’
throughout the form.
• Add fields for the Title, Email, and
Phone Number of the referrer.
• Spilt the field to for the name of the
child into three separate fields for First
Name, Second or Middle Name, and
Last Name(s).
• Add the following fields for
additional information about the child
that will assist the child advocate
contractor in making recommendations:
Æ Other Language(s) Spoken.
Æ Is the child in ORR custody?
Æ Was the child at another ORR care
provider facility?
Æ If yes, provide the care provider
name.
Æ Child’s length of care in ORR
custody.
Æ Does the child have legal
representation?
Æ If yes, provide the following
information for the legal representative:
Name, Phone, Email.
• Revise the list of reasons for referral
to better reflect the most common
reasons child advocate referrals are
made.
• Revise the burden estimate to
reflect the number of child advocate
referrals made from April 2023 through
March 2024. The annual number of
respondents increased from 216 to 300
and the annual number of responses per
respondent increased from 5 to 19.
Revisions to Existing Forms
ORR plans to make the following
revisions to existing form in this
information collection:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:57 Jun 17, 2024
Jkt 262001
• Request for Specific Consent to
Juvenile Court Jurisdiction (Form L–1):
Æ Replace ‘‘UC’’ with ‘‘child’’
throughout the form.
Æ Revised Section D: Next Steps to
align with the UC Program Foundational
Rule (45 CFR 410).
Æ Revise the burden estimate to
reflect the number of requests for
specific consent received in FY 2023.
The annual number of respondents
decreased from 40 to 31.
• Specific Consent Request Case
Summary (Form L–2):
Æ Remove the instruction to complete
an internal clearance form because that
is no longer part of the process.
Æ Update the email address where the
form is submitted.
Æ Add text fields for the email
addresses of the case manager and FFS
to better facilitate communication when
UC Program headquarter staff have
follow-up questions.
Æ Replace ‘‘UC’’ with ‘‘child’’
throughout the form.
Æ Revise the available dropdown
options for the Level of Care field to
align with the UC Program Foundational
Rule (45 CFR 410).
Æ Revise the burden estimate to
reflect the number of case summaries
completed in FY 2023 and account for
an increase in the number of care
provider facilities. The annual number
of respondents increased from 216 to
300 and the annual number of responses
per respondent decreased from 0.2 to
0.1.
• Acknowledgement of Receipt of
Legal Resource Guide (Form LRG–4):
Æ Change form number from LRG–5
to LRG–4.
Æ Retitle form Acknowledgement of
Receipt of Legal Resource Guide
(formerly titled Legal Service Provider
List for UC in ORR Care).
Æ Remove the information provided
on the first page and the list of legal
service providers and their contact
information. ORR plans to incorporate
this information into a separate
document and children will
acknowledge receipt of that document
in this form.
Æ Revise the list of documents
provided to children to reflect
forthcoming revisions and consolidation
of legal resource guide documents.
Æ Remove requirement for children to
initial each list item to reduce burden
for the child.
Æ Add instructions to put an ‘‘X’’ in
the signature line in cases where the
child is unable to sign the form and add
a text field for the care provider to
document the reason the child was
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
51529
unable to sign (e.g., child is 2 years old).
This will assist ORR in monitoring
compliance with requirements to
complete this form.
Æ Add a field for care provider
program name.
Æ Revise the burden estimate to
account for an increase in the number
of care provider facilities and in the
number of children placed in ORR care,
and report the burden for care providers
and unaccompanied children separately
to improve accuracy of the estimate. The
annual number of respondents
increased from 216 to 300 for care
providers and 121,669 unaccompanied
child respondents were added. The
annual number of responses per
respondent increased from 556 to 817
for care providers and the responses per
respondent for children is two (2).
Æ ORR plans to translate the form into
Spanish and other languages commonly
spoken by unaccompanied children.
Revisions to Burden Estimates Only for
Existing Forms
• Notice of Attorney Representation
(Form L–3):
Æ Previously, the annual number of
respondents was overestimated at
13,000. ORR is changing that estimate to
10,000 (which will still be higher than
the number of forms submitted in the
previous year) based on the actual
number of children who received direct
representation through ORR’s legal
service provider contractor and rounded
up to account for an expected increase
in direct representation and forms
submitted by outside attorneys.
• UC Legal Information (Form L–4):
Æ Revise the burden estimate to
account for an increase in the number
of care provider facilities and in the
number of children placed in ORR care.
The annual number of respondents
increased from 216 to 300 and the
annual number of responses per
respondent increased from 241 to 406.
• Legal Service Provider Record
(Form L–6):
Æ Revise the burden estimate to
account for an increase in the number
of care provider facilities and in the
number of children placed in ORR care.
The annual number of respondents
increased from 216 to 300 and the
annual number of responses per
respondent increased from 241 to 406.
Respondents: ORR grantee and
contractor staff, unaccompanied
children, parents/legal guardians of
unaccompanied children, attorneys of
record and legal service providers.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Legal and Advocacy
Services for Unaccompanied Children (Office of Management and Budget
#0970-0565)
AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, Administration for Children and
Families, Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services is inviting public comment on revisions to an approved
information collection. The request consists of several forms that
allow the Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program to provide legal and
advocacy services to unaccompanied children.
DATES: Comments due August 19, 2024. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), ACF is
soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information
collection described above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of
information and submit comments by emailing [email protected].
Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This request is to remove two forms from this
collection, add two new forms, move one form from a different
information collection into this collection (with revisions), and
revise three existing forms in this collection. ORR also proposes
retitling this information collection ``Legal and Advocacy Services for
Unaccompanied Children.''
Discontinued Forms
ORR plans to remove the following forms from this information
collection:
Motion for Change of Venue (Form L-7): This instrument was
created for the UC Path case management system and was intended to be
used for filing a motion for change of venue for children transferring
to a different ORR care provider program. However, the UC Path system
was never implemented, and this form has never been used. In addition,
this function is performed by an entity that is party to the
proceedings, typically the child's legal representative or Immigration
and Customs Enforcement, because the decision to file a change of venue
may affect the child's immigration case. A change of venue is filed for
cases where a Notice to Appear has been filed. Since neither ORR nor
its care provider programs perform this function, the form is not
needed.
Post Legal Status Plan (Form L-8): The information
collected in this form was incorporated into the Legal Services Plan
section of the Category 4 Discharge Plan (Form R-9, currently approved
under OMB #0970-0552). Therefore, ORR plans to discontinue this form.
New Forms
ORR plans to add the following new forms to this information
collection:
Case Status Summary for Executive Office for Immigration
Review (Form L-9): This form is completed by the Federal Field
Specialist (FFS) or care provider and sent to the Executive Office for
Immigration Review (EOIR) in advance of a child's immigration hearing.
The form provides basic information needed to ensure that EOIR has
accurate information on the child's case status. A copy of the form is
also shared with the child's legal service provider or attorney of
record and child advocate (if applicable).
Recommended States List (Form L-11): This form is
completed by legal service providers for children without viable
sponsorship options or where the child is expected to remain in ORR
custody for 3 or more months. The form
[[Page 51529]]
provides a recommended list of states where long-term foster care
programs are present, taking into account the child's potential
immigration case.
Forms Transferred From a Different Information Collection
ORR plans to transfer the Child Advocate Recommendation and
Appointment form into this information collection (currently approved
under OMB #0970-0553). ORR also plans to move Section B: Recommendation
and Appointment and Section C: ORR Approval into a separate form to
better facilitate the referral, recommendation, and appointment
process. The separate form containing the information collected in
Sections B and C will be completed by fewer than 10 respondents and is,
therefore, not subject to PRA and is not included in this request.
In addition, ORR plans to make the following revisions to the
current content:
Rename the form Child Advocate Referral (Form L-12A).
Replace ``UC'' with ``child'' throughout the form.
Add fields for the Title, Email, and Phone Number of the
referrer.
Spilt the field to for the name of the child into three
separate fields for First Name, Second or Middle Name, and Last
Name(s).
Add the following fields for additional information about
the child that will assist the child advocate contractor in making
recommendations:
[cir] Other Language(s) Spoken.
[cir] Is the child in ORR custody?
[cir] Was the child at another ORR care provider facility?
[cir] If yes, provide the care provider name.
[cir] Child's length of care in ORR custody.
[cir] Does the child have legal representation?
[cir] If yes, provide the following information for the legal
representative: Name, Phone, Email.
Revise the list of reasons for referral to better reflect
the most common reasons child advocate referrals are made.
Revise the burden estimate to reflect the number of child
advocate referrals made from April 2023 through March 2024. The annual
number of respondents increased from 216 to 300 and the annual number
of responses per respondent increased from 5 to 19.
Revisions to Existing Forms
ORR plans to make the following revisions to existing form in this
information collection:
Request for Specific Consent to Juvenile Court
Jurisdiction (Form L-1):
[cir] Replace ``UC'' with ``child'' throughout the form.
[cir] Revised Section D: Next Steps to align with the UC Program
Foundational Rule (45 CFR 410).
[cir] Revise the burden estimate to reflect the number of requests
for specific consent received in FY 2023. The annual number of
respondents decreased from 40 to 31.
Specific Consent Request Case Summary (Form L-2):
[cir] Remove the instruction to complete an internal clearance form
because that is no longer part of the process.
[cir] Update the email address where the form is submitted.
[cir] Add text fields for the email addresses of the case manager
and FFS to better facilitate communication when UC Program headquarter
staff have follow-up questions.
[cir] Replace ``UC'' with ``child'' throughout the form.
[cir] Revise the available dropdown options for the Level of Care
field to align with the UC Program Foundational Rule (45 CFR 410).
[cir] Revise the burden estimate to reflect the number of case
summaries completed in FY 2023 and account for an increase in the
number of care provider facilities. The annual number of respondents
increased from 216 to 300 and the annual number of responses per
respondent decreased from 0.2 to 0.1.
Acknowledgement of Receipt of Legal Resource Guide (Form
LRG-4):
[cir] Change form number from LRG-5 to LRG-4.
[cir] Retitle form Acknowledgement of Receipt of Legal Resource
Guide (formerly titled Legal Service Provider List for UC in ORR Care).
[cir] Remove the information provided on the first page and the
list of legal service providers and their contact information. ORR
plans to incorporate this information into a separate document and
children will acknowledge receipt of that document in this form.
[cir] Revise the list of documents provided to children to reflect
forthcoming revisions and consolidation of legal resource guide
documents.
[cir] Remove requirement for children to initial each list item to
reduce burden for the child.
[cir] Add instructions to put an ``X'' in the signature line in
cases where the child is unable to sign the form and add a text field
for the care provider to document the reason the child was unable to
sign (e.g., child is 2 years old). This will assist ORR in monitoring
compliance with requirements to complete this form.
[cir] Add a field for care provider program name.
[cir] Revise the burden estimate to account for an increase in the
number of care provider facilities and in the number of children placed
in ORR care, and report the burden for care providers and unaccompanied
children separately to improve accuracy of the estimate. The annual
number of respondents increased from 216 to 300 for care providers and
121,669 unaccompanied child respondents were added. The annual number
of responses per respondent increased from 556 to 817 for care
providers and the responses per respondent for children is two (2).
[cir] ORR plans to translate the form into Spanish and other
languages commonly spoken by unaccompanied children.
Revisions to Burden Estimates Only for Existing Forms
Notice of Attorney Representation (Form L-3):
[cir] Previously, the annual number of respondents was
overestimated at 13,000. ORR is changing that estimate to 10,000 (which
will still be higher than the number of forms submitted in the previous
year) based on the actual number of children who received direct
representation through ORR's legal service provider contractor and
rounded up to account for an expected increase in direct representation
and forms submitted by outside attorneys.
UC Legal Information (Form L-4):
[cir] Revise the burden estimate to account for an increase in the
number of care provider facilities and in the number of children placed
in ORR care. The annual number of respondents increased from 216 to 300
and the annual number of responses per respondent increased from 241 to
406.
Legal Service Provider Record (Form L-6):
[cir] Revise the burden estimate to account for an increase in the
number of care provider facilities and in the number of children placed
in ORR care. The annual number of respondents increased from 216 to 300
and the annual number of responses per respondent increased from 241 to
406.
Respondents: ORR grantee and contractor staff, unaccompanied
children, parents/legal guardians of unaccompanied children, attorneys
of record and legal service providers.
