SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description: The ORR-3 Report is submitted to report a youth's initial placement in the URM Program, termination from the program, or re-entry into the program. The ORR-3 is also submitted to report changes to the youth's case ( e.g., change in legal responsibility, change in foster home placement, etc.). The ORR-4 Report is submitted annually and at termination to report on the youth's receipt of services and outcomes. Proposed revisions to the forms include replacing multiple follow-up outcome reports with a single termination outcome report, replacing self-reported outcome measures from youth with provider-reported measures, eliminating select sub-types of ORR-3 reports, replacing or streamlining unclear questions and response options, removing unnecessary questions, and streamlining supplemental report instructions to integrate more guidance directly into the forms.

Respondents: URM state/replacement designee agencies and URM provider agencies.

Annual Burden Estimates

The edits described above will result in a reduction in annual burden estimates of approximately 41 percent once implemented. Additionally, youth have been removed as a respondent to the ORR-4 Report; youth outcome measures will no longer be self-reported, instead providers will report youth outcomes. Revisions will be implemented after a 12-month implementation timeframe; the following burden estimates are specific to the revised versions following the 12-month implementation period.
