Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The Refugee Biographic Data Sheet 

describes a refugee applicant’s personal 

characteristics and is needed to initiate 

refugee resettlement processing, 

adjudicate the refugee applicant’s 

application for admission to the United 

States, to run security checks on 

refugees by intelligence and federal law 

enforcement agencies, to conduct 

medical screenings, and to plan 

international travel before a refugee 

applicant can be permitted to travel to 

the United States. In addition, the 

information is used to match the refugee 

with a sponsoring voluntary agency for 

initial reception and placement in the 

U.S. under the United States Refugee 

Admissions Program administered by 

the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and 

Migration. 

The information collected includes 

date and place of birth, gender, contact 

information, including social media 

handles, marital status, family ties, 

religion, ethnic group, background, 

education, occupation, skills, medical 

information, English language ability, 

associated family members’ refugee 

resettlement cases, and identity 

documents. The data is used to initiate 

refugee resettlement processing, to 

adjudicate the refugee claim by USCIS, 

to run security checks on refugees by 

the federal law enforcement and 

intelligence community before refugees 

can be permitted to travel to the United 

States. Data is also provided to conduct 

a medical screening before the refugee’s 

arrival in the United States, to plan the 

refugee’s international travel, and to 

resettlement agencies to determine an 

appropriate resettlement location in the 

United States. If the data were not 

collected, refugees could not be 

properly vetted by the federal law 

enforcement and intelligence 

community, and therefore refugee 

applicants could no longer be processed 

through the U.S. Refugee Admissions 

Program. In addition, the resettlement 

agencies would not be able to provide 

appropriate initial reception and 

placement services as provided for in 

the Refugee Act. 

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.

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The TechWomen program seeks to 

empower, connect, and support the next 

generation of women leaders in science, 

technology, engineering, and 

mathematics (STEM) by providing 

opportunities for them to reach their full 

potential and become role models for 

women and girls in their communities. 

Through mentorship and exchange, the 

TechWomen program is designed to 

strengthen participants’ professional 

capacity, increase mutual understanding 

between key networks of professionals, 

and expand women and girls’ interest in

STEM careers by exposing them to 

female role models. During the fiveweek program, foreign participants 

engage with female leaders in projectbased mentorships at leading companies 

in the Silicon Valley and Bay Area, 

participate in professional development 

workshops and networking events, and 

travel to Washington, DC for targeted 

meetings and special events to conclude 

the program. After their completion of 

the program, emerging leaders and 

mentors have the opportunity to 

reconnect during delegation trips to 

program countries in Africa, South and 

Central Asia, and the Middle East, 

which focus on expanding networks of 

women in STEM fields, creating and 

strengthening partnerships, encouraging 

girls to pursue STEM careers and 

ensuring the sustainability of mentorfellow relationships. The authority for 

this program is the Mutual Educational 

and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (22 

U.S.C. 2451 et seq.). 

To evaluate the impact of the 

program, the Bureau of Educational and 

Cultural Affairs (ECA) intends to 

conduct an evaluation of the program 

covering the period of 2011 through 

2019. The evaluation will determine the 

strength and sustainability of 

professional networks created by the 

program and the extent to which these 

networks have been leveraged for 

collaborations between Alumnae to 

enact change. In order to do so, ECA 

contracted Social Impact (SI) in early 

2020 to conduct an evaluation of the 

TechWomen program. 

Methodology 

The evaluation will use a mixedmethods design including a quantitative 

survey and key informant interviews 

(KIIs). Data from these methods will be 

used to assess the strength of mentoralumnae networks as a result of the 

TechWomen project. The evaluation’s 

approach prioritizes ECA utilization of 

recommendations to maximize the reach 

and impact of the TechWomen program. 

The evaluation will include 40 Key 

Informant Interviews in the Silicon 

Valley/Bay Area. The sampling will 

include Professional Mentors, Cultural 

Mentors, and Impact Coaches. The 

Evaluation Team (ET) will gather survey 

data using the network survey platform 

ONASurveys.com and will use data 

from the online survey to provide visual 

representations and analytic data of the 

TechWomen network structure.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. EP 730 (Sub-No.1)] 

Roster of Arbitrators—Annual Update 

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 11708, the 

Board’s regulations establish a voluntary 

and binding arbitration process to 

resolve rail rate and practice complaints 

that are subject to the Board’s 

jurisdiction. Section 11708(f) provides 

that, unless parties otherwise agree, an 

arbitrator or panel of arbitrators shall be 

selected from a roster maintained by the 

Board. Accordingly, the Board’s rules 

establish a process for creating and 

maintaining a roster of arbitrators. 49 

CFR 1108.6(b). 

The Board most recently updated its 

roster of arbitrators by decision served 

February 13, 2020. The roster is 

published on the Board’s website at 

https://www.stb.gov/ (click the 

‘‘Resources’’ tab, select ‘‘Litigation 

Alternatives’’ from the dropdown menu, 

and then click on the ‘‘arbitration’’ link). 

As provided under 49 CFR 1108.6(b), 

the Board updates the roster of 

arbitrators annually. Accordingly, the 

Board is now requesting the names and 

qualifications of new arbitrators who 

wish to be placed on the roster. Current 

arbitrators who wish to remain on the 

roster must notify the Board of their 

continued availability and confirm that 

the biographical information on file 

with the Board remains accurate and, if 

not, provide any necessary updates. 

Arbitrators who do not confirm their 

continued availability will be removed 

from the roster. This decision will be 

served on all current arbitrators. 

Any person who wishes to be added 

to the roster should file an application 

describing his or her experience with 

rail transportation and economic 

regulation, as well as professional or 

business experience, including 

agriculture, in the private sector. Each 

applicant should also describe his or her 

training in dispute resolution and/or 

experience in arbitration or other forms 

of dispute resolution, including the 

number of years of experience. Lastly, 

the applicant should provide his or her 

contact information and fees. 

This year, all comments—including 

filings from new applicants, updates to 

existing arbitrator information, and 

confirmations of continued 

availability—should be submitted via efiling on the Board’s website by January 

15, 2021.1 The Board will assess each 

new applicant’s qualifications to 

determine which individuals can ably 

serve as arbitrators based on the criteria 

established under 49 CFR 1108.6(b). The 

Board will then establish an updated 

roster of arbitrators by no-objection vote. 

The roster will include a brief 

biographical sketch of each arbitrator, 

including information such as 

background, area(s) of expertise, 

arbitration experience, and geographical 

location, as well as contact information 

and fees. The roster will be published 

on the Board’s website. 

It is ordered: 

1. Applications from persons 

interested in being added to the Board’s 

roster of arbitrators, and confirmations 

of continued availability (with updates, 

if any, to existing arbitrator information) 

from persons currently on the 

arbitration roster, are due by January 15, 

2021. 

2. This decision will be served on all 

current arbitrators and published in the 

Federal Register. 

3. This decision is effective on the 

date of service. 

Decided: December 2, 2020. 

By the Board, Allison C. Davis, Director, 

Office of Proceedings.

Clearance Clerk.
