Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects:
    Title: Refugee State-of-Origin Report ORR-11.
    OMB No. 0970-0043.
    Description: The information collection of ORR-11 (Refugee State-
of-Origin Report) is designed to satisfy the statutory requirements of 
the Immigration and Naturalization Act (the Act). Section 412(a)(3) of 
the Act requires the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to compile 
and maintain data on the secondary migration of refugees in the United 
States after arrival.
    In order to meet this legislative requirement, ORR requires each 
State to submit an annual count of the number of refugees who were 
initially resettled in another State. The State does this by counting 
the number of refugees with Social Security numbers indicating 
residence in another State at the time of arrival in the United States. 
(The first three digits of the Social Security number indicate the 
State of residence of the applicant.)
    Data submitted by the States are compiled and analyzed by an ORR 
statistician, who then prepares a summary report, which is included in 
ORR's Annual Report to Congress. The primary use of the data is to 
quantify and analyze refugee secondary migration among the 50 States. 
ORR uses these data to adjust its refugee arrival totals in order to 
calculate the ORR social service allocation.
    Respondents: States.
