SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
 Title of Information Collection: DS-7699 Affidavit of 
Relationship (AOR) for Minors Who Are Nationals Of El Salvador, 
Guatemala, and Honduras
 OMB Control Number: 1405-0217
 Type of Request: Extension of a Currently Approved Collection
 Originating Office: PRM/A
 Form Number: DS-7699
 Respondents: Anchor parents in the U.S. with children in El 
Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
 Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,500
 Estimated Number of Responses: 2,500
 Average Time per Response: 60 minutes per response
 Total Estimated Burden Time: 2,500 hours

 Obligation to Respond: Required to Obtain or Retain a Benefit

    We are soliciting public comments to permit the Department to:
     Evaluate whether the proposed information collection is 
necessary for the proper functions of the Department.
     Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the time and cost 
burden for this proposed collection, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used.
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected.
     Minimize the reporting burden on those who are to respond, 
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
    Please note that comments submitted in response to this Notice are 
public record. Before including any detailed personal information, you 
should be aware that your comments as submitted, including your 
personal information, will be available for public review.
    Abstract of proposed collection:
    The Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees, and 
Migration (PRM) is responsible for coordinating and managing the U.S. 
Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). PRM coordinates within the 
Department of State, as well as with the Department of Homeland 
Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (DHS/USCIS), in 
carrying out this responsibility. A critical part of the State 
Department's responsibility is determining which individuals, from 
among millions of refugees worldwide, will have access to U.S. 
resettlement consideration. PRM and DHS/USCIS are now assisting with 
the preparation of a White House directive to initiate an in-country 
program to provide a means for certain persons who are lawfully present 
in the United States to claim a relationship with child(ren) in 
Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala and to assist the U.S. Department 
of State in determining whether those child(ren) are qualified to apply 
for access to the USRAP for family reunification purposes. This form 
also assists DHS/USCIS to verify parent-child relationships during 
refugee case adjudication. The main purpose of the DS-7699 is for the 
U.S. based parent to provide biographical information about his/her 
child(ren) in the qualifying countries who may subsequently seek access 
to the USRAP for verification by the U.S. government.
    Methodology:
    This information collection currently involves the limited use of 
electronic techniques. Parents (respondents) in the United States will 
work closely with a resettlement agency during the completion of the 
AOR to ensure that the information is accurate. Anchor parents may 
visit any resettlement agency to complete an AOR. Sometimes respondents 
do not have strong English-language skills and benefit from having a 
face-to-face meeting with resettlement agency staff. The DS-7699 form 
will be available electronically and responses will be completed 
electronically. Completed AORs will be printed out for ink signature by 
the respondents as well. The electronic copy will be submitted 
electronically to the Refugee Processing Center (RPC) for downloading 
into the Worldwide Refugee Admissions Processing System (WRAPS), with 
the signed paper copy remaining with PRM's Reception and Placement 
Agency partners.
