Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects: Updating the Immigration Judge with information 
about the unaccompanied minor's case and reunification with a sponsor.
    Title: Unaccompanied Children Case Summary Form.
    OMB No.: New.
    Description: Following the passage of the 2002 Homeland Security 
Act (Pub. L. 107-296), the Administration for Children and Families 
(ACF), Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), is charged with the care 
and placement of unaccompanied children in Federal custody. 
Unaccompanied children attend immigration court hearings while in ORR 
care if the length of stay is more than sixty days. The form in 
question was created with input from immigration judges at the 
Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
    The proposed information collection requests information to be 
utilized by EOIR for determining the best course of action to take in 
the UC's case in immigration court. The proposed instrument is the 
Unaccompanied Children Case Summary Form.
    Respondents: Case Managers who are employees of social service 
agencies receiving grants from ORR to vet potential sponsors and to 
help advance the UC's case by providing updates to the Immigration 
Judge hearing the UC's case requesting legal relief from deportation.
