Title: Refugee State-of-Origin Report 

ORR–11. 

OMB No. 0970–0043. 

Description: The information 

collection of ORR–11 (Refugee State-ofOrigin 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.

In compliance with the requirements

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the

Proposed Projects:

Title: Tribal Temporary Assistance for 

Needy Families Financial Report, ACF–

196TT. 

OMB No.: New collection. 

Description: Authority to collect and 

report this information is found in the 

Personal Responsibility and Work 

Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 

(PRWORA), Pub. L. 104–193. 

Tribal entities with approved tribal 

plans for implementation of the 

Temporary Assistance for Needy 

Families (TANF) program are required 

by statute to report financial data on a 

quarterly basis. This form provides 

specific data regarding Federal 

expenditures. Failure to collect this data 

would seriously compromise the 

Administration for Children and 

Families’ (ACF) ability to monitor 

expenditures. This information is also 

used to estimate outlays and may be 

used to prepare ACF budget 

submissions to Congress. Financial 

management of the program would be 

seriously compromised if the 

expenditure data were collected on a 

less than quarterly basis. Federal policy 

requires the strictest controls on funding 

requirements, which necessitates 

quarterly review of documentation in 

support of Tribal expenditures for 

reimbursement. 

In an effort to obtain comments on the 

content and use of this form, the form 

was distributed to ACF’s Regional 

Offices and at various tribal 

conferences. Comments received were 

then used to guide us in the 

development of the product presented 

with this submittal. 

Respondents: Tribal TANF Agencies.
