Proposed Projects: 

Title: Annual Survey of Refugees. 

OMB No.: 0970–0033. 

Description: The Annual Survey of 

Refugees collects information on the 

social and economic circumstances of a 

random sample of refugees, Amerasians, 

and entrants who arrived in the United 

States in the five years prior to the date 

of the survey. The survey focuses on the 

refugees’ training, labor force 

participation, and welfare utilization 

rates. Data are segmented by region of 

origin, State of resettlement, and 

number of months since arrival. From 

the responses, the Office of Refugee 

Resettlement reports on the economic 

adjustment of refugees to the American 

economy. These data are used by 

Congress in its annual deliberations of 

refugee admissions and funding and by 

program managers in formulating 

policies for the future direction of the 

Refugee Resettlement Program. 

Respondents: Refugees, entrants, 

Amerasians, and Havana parolees.
