alternative(s) will consist of 

modernizing the LPOE to improve 

public and officer safety, and provide 

for the long-term, safe and efficient flow 

of current and projected traffic volumes. 

The action alternative(s) will be 

developed and refined based on 

resource impact considerations, 

floodplain management, site and design 

logistics, and information obtained 

through public scoping and agency 

consultation. 

The EIS will address the potential 

environmental impacts of the proposed 

alternatives on environmental resources 

which may include aesthetics, air 

quality, geology and soils, hazardous 

materials, hydrology and water quality, 

cultural resources, biological resources 

including wetlands and threatened and 

endangered species, land use, noise, 

utilities, and traffic. The EIS will also 

address the socioeconomic effects of the 

project as well as impacts on 

Environmental Justice populations. 

Scoping Process 

The views and comments of the 

public are necessary to help determine 

the scope and content of the 

environmental analysis. The scoping 

process will be accomplished through a 

public scoping meeting, direct mail 

correspondence to appropriate federal, 

state, and local agencies, and to private 

organizations and citizens who have 

previously expressed or are known to 

have an interest in the project. Agencies 

and the public are encouraged to attend 

the public scoping meeting and provide 

written comments regarding the scope 

of the EIS. There will be a project 

presentation at 6:00 p.m. with a public 

comment period to follow. After the 

meeting GSA will post the following 

items at the project website, gsa.gov/ 

norton.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Administration for Children and 

Families 

Submission for OMB Review; Release 

of Unaccompanied Alien Children 

From ORR Custody (OMB #0970–0552) 

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement; 

Administration for Children and 

Families; Department of Health and 

Human Services. 

ACTION: Request for public comments. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Refugee 

Resettlement (ORR), Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF), U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services, is inviting public comments 

on revisions to an approved information 

collection. The request consists of 

several forms that allow the 

Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program 

to process release of unaccompanied 

children from ORR custody and provide 

services after release. 

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of 

publication. Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) must make a decision 

about the collection of information 

between 30 and 60 days after 

publication of this document in the 

Federal Register. Therefore, a comment 

is best assured of having its full effect 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: ORR is proposing 

revisions to four forms (Forms R–1, R– 

2, R–4, and R–6), the addition of one 

new form (Form R–9), removal of one 

form (Form R–3), continued use of the 

current version of one form (Form R–6), 

and alternate versions of two forms (R– 

2 and R–4). See below for a detailed 

description of the proposed revisions for 

each instrument. 

Verification of Release (Form R–1) 

There are two currently approved 

versions of this form under this 

information collection—one for UC 

Portal and one for UC Path. ORR 

proposes discontinuing the UC Portal 

version, incorporating the UC Path 

version into the UC Portal system, and 

making the below-listed revisions. ORR 

also updated the burden estimates for 

this form to account for an increase in 

the number care provider facilities and 

in the number of children placed in 

ORR care. The annual number of 

respondents increased from 216 to 300 

and the annual number of responses per 

respondent increased from 253 to 428. 

Proposed Revisions 

• Child’s Information 

Æ Retitle section from Minor’s 

Information to Child’s Information 

Æ Remove the term ‘‘minor’’ from the 

Name, Date of Birth, and A# fields. 

Æ Remove the Height, Weight, and 

Hair Color fields. ORR determined 

that these fields are not a good fit 

for this form given that height and 

weight will change quickly as the 

child grows and hair color is often 

altered. 

Æ Add fields for Primary Language 

and Country of Birth. These fields 

will be auto-populated. 

• Sponsor Information 

Æ Rephrase Name of Sponsor to 

Name 

Æ Rephrase Telephone # to Primary 

Phone # 

Æ Remove Alias (if any) field 

• Acknowledgement of the Sponsor 

Care Agreement 

Æ Rephrase Name of ORR Care 

Provider to ORR Care Provider 

Name 

Æ Rephrase Date to Discharge Date 

Æ Add the following statement: In 

agreeing to these provisions, the 

sponsor holds authority to consent 

to medical and mental health care 

on behalf of the child. 

Discharge Notification (Form R–2) 

There are two currently approved 

versions of this form under this 

information collection—one for UC 

Portal and one for UC Path. ORR 

proposes discontinuing the UC Path 

version and revising the UC Portal 

version. 

To support making iterative 

improvements, ORR proposes two 

versions of the form. The first version 

will be rolled out in the current UC 

Portal system. The second version will 

be rolled out in a modernized version of 

UC Portal. ORR expects to begin rolling 

out features in the new modernized 

system in 2024. Once the second 

version is rolled out, ORR will submit 

a nonsubstantive change request to 

remove the first version from the 

information collection. 

ORR also updated the burden 

estimates for this form to reflect the 

revisions and to account for an increase 

in the number of care provider facilities 

and in the number of children placed in 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
922 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 5 / Monday, January 8, 2024 / Notices 

ORR care. For both versions, the annual 

number of respondents increased from 

216 to 300 and the annual number of 

responses per respondent increased 

from 290 to 487. For the modernized UC 

Portal version, the average burden hours 

per response increased from 0.17 to 

0.25. 

Proposed Revisions—Current UC Portal 

Version 

• Discharge Notification 

Æ Remove Proof of Relationship field 

Æ Rephrase Type of Discharge field to 

Discharge Type and update 

dropdown options to account for all 

types of discharge from an ORR care 

provider facility. 

• ORR Decision From Latest Release 

Request 

Æ Remove the following fields: DHS 

Family Shelter, Local Law 

Enforcement, and Specify, if Other 

is Selected 

Æ Move the following fields into a 

new Transfer of Placement Section: 

UC Legal Status (rephrased from 

Legal Status of Minor), Address, 

City, State, Zip Code, and Phone 

• Create a new Other Type of 

Discharge section that contains the 

following fields: Discharge into the 

Custody of (options = Individual 

and Program/Facility), Individual or 

Program/Facility Name, Address, 

City, State, and Zip Code 

Proposed Revisions—Modernized UC 

Portal Version 

In general, the purpose of the 

proposed revisions is to make the form 

more useful for processing the physical 

discharge of a child from a care provider 

program. To that end, ORR proposes 

adding several new fields, many of 

which are intended to support internal 

operations only and are not appropriate 

to share with stakeholders when 

notifying them of a child’s discharge. To 

ensure that only information necessary 

to provide notification of a child’s 

discharge is shared with stakeholders, 

ORR proposes making this form internal 

to the ORR care provider network and 

ORR staff. To more accurately capture 

the purpose of the form and to 

distinguish it from previous versions, 

ORR proposes renaming the form 

‘‘Program Exit Processing’’ and 

assigning it a new internal control 

number, ‘‘Form R–10.’’ The UC Portal 

system will generate a separate report 

(i.e., an auto-populated document 

requiring no data entry) which will only 

contain the basic information necessary 

to notify stakeholders of the child’s 

discharge. ORR will continue to use the 

title and internal control number of 

‘‘Discharge Notification (Form R–2)’’ for 

the report since it will be used for the 

same purpose as the previous version of 

the form. 

• UC Basic Information 

Æ Remove Age field and add Portal ID 

field (auto-populated systemgenerated number). 

• Discharge Basic Information 

Æ Retitle section from Discharge 

Notification to Discharge Basic 

Information. 

Æ Update the dropdown options for 

the Discharge Type field to be 

inclusive of all types of discharge 

scenarios and add an If Other, 

specify text box field.

UC Path version: 

D Status 

D Scheduled Date of Discharge 

(rephrase from Release Scheduled 

Date/Time) 

D Discharge Delay (also expand 

dropdown options and add an If 

Other, specify text box field) 

D UC Parent Name 

D Parent/Legal Guardian Separation 

D MPP Case 

D Next Immigration Hearing Date 

Æ Add the following new fields: 

D UC Parent Discharge Type 

D UC Parent A# 

D Did the medical coordinator certify 

that the child is medically fit to 

travel? 

Æ Move the field Legal Status of Child 

(rephrase from Legal Status of 

Minor) under this section and add 

an If Other, specify text box field. 

• Discharge Details 

Æ Retitle section from ORR Decision 

from Latest Release Request to 

Discharge Details. 

Æ Employ progressive disclosure for 

this section so that only fields 

relevant to the selected Discharge 

Type (and where applicable UC 

Parent Discharge Type) are 

displayed. 

Æ Rephase field label to Receiving 

Program Name (currently Program 

Minor was Transferred to). 

Æ Remove the following fields:

ORR Release Notification—ORR 

Notification to Immigration and 

Customs Enforcement (ICE) Chief 

Counsel—Release of Unaccompanied 

Child to Sponsor and Request To 

Change Address (Form R–3) 

ORR proposes removing this 

instrument from the information 

collection. No information is requested 

specifically for this auto-populated 

document, instead this a document that 

is auto-populated with information ORR 

collects in other OMB-approved forms. 

The use of information consolidated on 

this notification document is consistent 

with the purpose for which ORR 

originally collects the information in its 

other forms and with ORR’s system of 

records notice (81 FR 46682). This form 

simply compiles and presents approved 

information collections in a different 

format and is therefore not subject to 

PRA. 

The fields in this form are autopopulated from the following 

instruments: 

• Discharge Notification (Form R–2, 

approved under this information 

collection) 

• Release Request (Form R–4, approved 

under this information collection) 

• Sponsor Assessment (Form S–5) 

(approved under OMB# 0970–0553) 

• Care provider program user profile 

(not subject to PRA per OMB’s April 

7, 2010 memorandum Social Media, 

Web-Based Interactive Technologies, 

and the Paperwork Reduction Act) 

Release Request (Form R–4) 

There are two currently approved 

versions of this form under this 

information collection—one for UC 

Portal and one for UC Path. ORR 

proposes discontinuing the UC Path 

version and revising the UC Portal 

version. 

To support making iterative 

improvements, ORR proposes two 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 5 / Monday, January 8, 2024 / Notices 923 

versions of the form. The first version 

will be rolled out in the current UC 

Portal system. The second version will 

be rolled out in a modernized version of 

UC Portal. ORR expects to begin rolling 

out features in the new modernized 

system in 2024. Once the second 

version is rolled out, ORR will submit 

a nonsubstantive change request to 

remove the first version from the 

information collection. 

ORR also updated the burden 

estimates for this form to reflect the 

revisions and to account for an increase 

in the number of care provider facilities 

and in the number of children placed in 

ORR care. For both versions, the annual 

number of respondents increased from 

216 to 300 for care providers; the annual 

number of responses per respondent 

increased from 254 to 430 for care 

providers and 321 to 756 for case 

coordinators. For the modernized UC 

Portal version, the average burden hours 

per response increased from 0.42 to 0.58 

for care providers and 0.33 to 0.50 for 

case coordinators.

Virtual Check-In Questionnaire (Form 

R–6) (Formerly Titled Safety and WellBeing Call) 

There are two currently approved 

versions of this form under this 

information collection—one in Excel 

and one for UC Path. ORR proposes the 

below-listed revisions to the current UC 

Path version and plans to incorporate 

the revised version into the UC Portal 

system. 

In addition, ORR is requesting 

continued use of the current Excel 

version of this instrument to support a 

phased rollout of improvements to the 

UC Portal system. 

ORR updated the burden estimates for 

this form to reflect form revisions, to 

account for an increase in the number 

of care provider facilities and in the 

number of children placed in ORR care, 

and to improve burden accuracy. The 

burden estimate was split into three 

separate line items for each respondent. 

The annual number of respondents 

changed from 216 care providers to 40 

PRS providers, 128,487 sponsors, and 

128,487 children; the annual number of 

responses per respondent increased 

from 253 to 19,273 for PRS providers, 3 

for sponsors, and 3 for children; and the 

average burden hours per response 

increased from 0.42 to 0.58 for PRS 

providers, 0.17 to 0.25 for sponsors, and 

0.17 to 0.25 for children. 

ORR plans to shift responsibility for 

conducting safety and well-being calls 

from care provider facilities to PRS 

providers. Moving forward these calls 

will be called virtual check-ins. All 

children released to a sponsor and their 

sponsors will continue to receive calls, 

however, the frequency of the calls will 

increase from one to three calls— 

conducted at seven business days, 14 

business days, and 30 business days 

after the child’s release from ORR 

custody. 

ORR proposes the following revisions 

to the UC Path version of Form R–6 to 

support this change in process: 

• Change the title to ‘‘Virtual CheckIn Questionnaire.’’ 

• Pre-Call Information—This section 

will replace the UAC Basic Information 

and Case Information sections. The new 

section retains the child and sponsor 

information and adds fields to capture 

phone numbers for contacts in the care 

plan and in home country. All 

information in this section will be autopopulated. 

• Questions for the Sponsor—This 

section will replace the Sponsor 

Address Confirmation and Sponsor 

Questions sections. The new section 

will include subsections for Location & 

Contact Information, Child’s School, 

Child’s Medical & Mental Health, Legal 

Services & Child’s Immigration Court 

Dates, Safety & Well-Being, and Child’s 

Work. This section adds 16 new 

questions. The section also retains, and 

in some cases adds additional follow-up 

questions for, the questions confirming 

the address, whether the child still lives 

with the sponsor, whether the child is 

registered for school, whether the child 

is having any behavioral or health 

issues, whether the sponsor has 

attended the Legal Orientation Program 

for Custodians of Unaccompanied 

Children (LOPC) presentation, whether 

the sponsor is aware of, and notified the 

child of, the child’s next immigration 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
926 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 5 / Monday, January 8, 2024 / Notices 

court date, whether the child has 

attended their scheduled court hearing, 

whether the sponsor still has the child’s 

Verification of Release form, and 

whether the sponsor has been asked to 

pay for the release of the child. 

• Questions for the Child—This 

section will replace the UAC Address 

Confirmation and UAC Questions 

sections. The new section will include 

subsections for Location, School, 

Medical & Mental Health, Immigration & 

Legal Services, and Safety & Well-Being 

(to include subsections for Post-Release, 

Work, and In-Care). The new section 

adds 34 new questions. The section also 

retains, and in some cases adds 

additional follow-up questions for, the 

questions confirming the address, 

whether the child still lives with the 

sponsor, whether the child is attending 

school, whether the child feels safe, 

whether the child has been adequately 

provided for, whether anyone has been 

asked to pay for the release of the child, 

whether the child is being forced to 

work or pay money, and whether the 

child is aware of their next immigration 

court date. 

• Post-Call Assessment and 

Outcomes—This section will replace the 

following sections: Sponsor Interview, 

UAC Interview, Case Manager 

Observation and Action Follow-Up, 

UAC May be in Immediate Danger, UAC 

May be Unsafe, UAC May Have Been 

Sexually Abused or Harassed While in 

ORR Care, Additional Support Services 

or LOPC Appointment, and Case 

Manager Certification. The new section 

adds 5 new questions. The section also 

retains, and in some cases builds on, 

questions on whether the phone was 

disconnected, sponsor participation, 

whether the child appears to be in 

immediate danger, whether the child or 

sponsor should be assessed for 

additional PRS, post-call actions taken, 

and reasons for elevation (if applicable). 

Discharge Plan (Form R–9) 

ORR care providers are required to 

conduct discharge planning for children 

who are not likely to be released to a 

sponsor, may obtain a form of lawful 

immigration relief, are projected to have 

a prolonged stay in ORR care, and/or 

will soon turn age 18 and age out of 

ORR care. Discharge planning is a 

participatory process that takes into 

consideration the wishes and goals of 

the child and includes consultation 

with the child’s legal services provider, 

attorney of record, child advocate, and 

other stakeholders (e.g., parents, legal 

guardian in home country) as 

applicable. Case managers engage in 

concurrent planning, whenever 

possible, to ensure there are multiple 

options included in the child’s 

discharge plan. 

ORR developed this instrument to 

improve and standardize the process for 

discharge planning across its national 

network of care providers. The new 

instrument will collect information on 

the following topics: 

• Child’s Basic Information 

• Placement Information After Release 

• Financial Plan 

• Education and Career Plan 

• Community Resources Plan 

• Residential Plan 

• UC Program Family Group 

• Case Management Needs 

• Family Unification Plan 

• Legal Services Plan 

• Voluntary Departure Plan 

• Release to DHS ICE Field Office 

Juvenile Coordinator Upon Age Out 

• Transportation Plan 

• Health Discharge Safety Plan 

• Behavioral Health Support Summary 

• Summary of Strengths and Life Skills 

The Legal Services Plan section of this 

instrument will replace Post Legal 

Status Plan (Form L–8), which is 

currently approved under OMB# 0970– 

0565. ORR plans to submit a 

nonsubstantive change request to 

discontinue Form L–8 soon. 

Respondents: ORR grantee and 

contractor staff; and released children 

and sponsors.
