[Federal Register Volume 81, Number 117 (Friday, June 17, 2016)] [Notices] [Pages 39646-39647] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2016-14350] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request Title: Information Collection and Record Keeping for the Timely Placement and Release of Unaccompanied Children in ORR Care. OMB No.: Description: The ORR Unaccompanied Children Program provides placement, care, custody and mandated services for UC until such time as they can be successfully released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. Through cooperative agreements and contracts, ORR funds residential care providers that provide temporary housing and other services to unaccompanied children in ORR custody. These care provider facilities are State licensed and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high level quality of care. They provide a continuum of care for children, including placements in ORR foster care, group homes, shelter, staff secure, secure, and residential treatment centers. The care providers provide children with classroom education, health care, socialization/ recreation, vocational training, mental health services, access to legal services, and case management. In order to monitor performance and ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements and standards, ORR:Collects information from its network of care providers to show evidence that care providers' standards of care, family reunification methods, internal policies and procedures, personnel, training, and other components meet minimum standards and ensure the safety and security of children in ORR care. Requires care providers to track the timely release process and delivery of services for individual children and youth to ensure compliance and allow ORR to conduct formal monitoring and performance review. The tasks described in this supporting statement are mainly conducted through the ORR online database (The UC Portal), which provides a central location for case records and the documentation of other activities (for example, when a child or youth is transferred to another facility). Many of these records are ``auto-populated'' on the UC Portal once the original data points are completed (such as DOB, ``A'' number, date of initial placement). The UC Portal is a secure limited access database that requires two factor authentication. The use of electronic records also allows ORR Project Officers to more easily monitor grantee compliance with standards of care and record keeping compared with hard copy case files that are only available onsite. The database also allows ORR to more easily calculate bed capacity throughout the network so that resources are efficiently distributed, particularly during an influx when large numbers of unaccompanied children are crossing the border.
