Title: Refugee StateofOrigin Report (Form ORR11).

OMB No.: 09700043.

Description: The information collection of the ORR11 (Refugee StateofOrigin Report) is designed to satisfy the statutory requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Section 412(a)(3) of the Act requires the Office of Refugee Resettlement to compile and maintain data on the secondary migration of refugees within the United States after arrival. In order to meet this legislative requirement, ORR requires each State to submit an annual count of the number of refugees who were initially resettled in another State. The State does this by counting the number of refugees with social security numbers indicating residence in another State at the time of arrival in the United States. (The first three digits of the social security number indicate the State of residence of the applicant.) Data submitted by the States are compiled and analyzed by the ORR statistician, who then prepares a summary report, which is included in ORRs Annual Report to Congress. The primary use of the data is to quantify and analyze the refugee secondary services formula allocation.

Respondents: State, local and tribal government. [[Page 58246]]

In compliance with the requirements of Section 506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Administration for Children and Families is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection described above. Copies of the proposed collection of information can be obtained and comments may be forwarded by writing to the Administration for Children and Families, Office of Administration, Office of Information Services, 370 L'Enfant Promenade, SW., Washington, DC 20447, Attn: ACF Reports Clearance Officer. Email address: infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. All requests should be identified by the title of the information collection.

The Department specifically requests comments on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted within 60 days of this publication.
