arboviruses in hospital and community
settings to identify emerging and
endemic pathogens like dengue and
Oropouche viruses, improve patient
management, and evaluate prevention
and control strategies. The core
objectives include: 1) strengthen
hospital surveillance of acute febrile
illness (AFI); 2) maintain an AFI
platform for conducting clinical
research on special populations such as
children and pregnant women; 3)
maintain a community cohort to assess
incidence and prevalence of arboviral
infections and other AFIs, while also
evaluate the effectiveness of vector
control strategies; 4) strengthen the
infrastructure for project data
management and analysis; and 5)
strengthen collaborations with the local
government, community leaders, and
other stakeholders to ensure continuity
of the established program.
Ponce Health Sciences Foundation
(PHSF), Inc. is in a unique position to
conduct this work, as it is the only

Proposed Information Collection
Activity: Unaccompanied Children
Bureau Assessments for Children and
Sponsors (Office of Management and
Budget #: 0970–NEW)
Office of Refugee Resettlement,
Administration for Children and
Families, Department of Health and
Human Services.
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 comments
on the proposed information collection,
including proposed changes. The
request consists of several forms that
will allow the Unaccompanied Children
Bureau (UCB) to continue conducting
statutorily mandated assessments of
unaccompanied children in ORR care
and custody as well as their sponsors.
These assessments allow ORR to
understand the status and needs of the
child and their potential sponsor;
assessment findings inform all decisions
concerning the child’s care while in
ORR custody and eventual reunification
with a sponsor.
DATES: Comments due February 28,
2025. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
in this notice.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ORR has undertaken a
reorganization of its information
collections to promote operational
efficiency. The reorganization will
result in more collections that contain
fewer forms under a single Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)

number. This request is to create a new
information collection that contains
forms associated with the provision of
critical assessments to unaccompanied
children and their sponsors. This
information collection will contain
seven forms transferred from one
existing information collection and two
new forms. The forms and the
information collection under which
they are currently approved are as
follows:
• Services Provided to Unaccompanied
Children (OMB #0970–0553)
Æ Sponsor Assessment (Form S–5)
Æ Adult Contact Profile (Form S–7)
Æ Initial Intakes Assessment (Form S–
8)
Æ Assessment for Risk (Form S–9)
Æ UC Assessment (Form S–11)
Æ UC Case Review (Form S–12)
Æ Individual Service Plan (Form S–
13)
• Newly Developed Category 4
Initiative Forms:
Æ Category 4 Reunification Case
Review and Staffing (Form TBD-#)
Æ Family Finding and Mobility
Mapping (Form TBD–#)
These forms are completed by care
provider case managers and clinicians at
care provider facilities, and exclusively
for the Sponsor Assessment (Form S–5),
by unification specialists operating
remotely. These forms assess the
suitability of potential sponsors
applying to reunify with an
unaccompanied child; capture critical
historical, biographic and medical data
for children upon admission to the UCB
care provider; assess the child for sexual
abuse history and risk of abusive
behavior towards others; review and
update prior assessment data over time;
and collaboratively identify potential
sponsors for children without a viable
sponsor (referred to as ‘‘Category 4’’
cases) utilizing child-friendly
interactive techniques and extensive
kinship network mapping. These forms
are documentary in nature and a critical
component of the child’s case file. In
addition to grouping forms related to
Assessments together in this
information collection, ORR is
proposing the following revisions:
• Global Changes across all currently
approved forms:
Æ Replace ‘‘UC’’, ‘‘UAC’’, and
‘‘Minor’’ with ‘‘Child’’ or
‘‘Unaccompanied Child’’ wherever
they appear
Æ Update dropdown options for the
‘‘Gender’’ field, wherever it
appears, to include male, female,
and nonbinary
Æ Replace ‘‘Primary’’ language with
‘‘Preferred’’
