Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Annual Survey of Refugees (ASR).
    OMB No.: 0970-0033.
    Description: The Refugee Act of 1980, and the Refugee Assistance 
amendments enacted in 1982 and 1986, stress the achievement of 
employment and self-sufficiency by refugees as soon as possible after 
their arrival in the U.S. The Annual Survey of Refugees collects 
information on the economic circumstances of a random sample of 
refugees, Amerasians, and entrants who arrived in the U.S. during the 
previous five years focusing on their education, training, labor force 
participation, and welfare utilization rates. From their responses, ORR 
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: Approximately 2,000 refugees.
