Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The Refugee Biographic Data Sheet describes a refugee applicant's 
personal characteristics and is needed to match the refugee with a 
sponsoring voluntary agency for initial reception and placement in the 
United States under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program administered by 
the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, as authorized by the 
Immigration and Nationality Act and the Refugee Act of 1980.

Methodology

    Biographic information is collected in a face-to-face intake 
process with the applicant overseas. An employee of a Resettlement 
Support Center, under cooperative agreement with PRM, collects the 
information and enters it into the Worldwide Refugee Admissions 
Processing System.
