Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    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.
    Annual Burden Estimates:
