Set Aside Sub-Agency List (0970-0556)

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement, Administration for Children and 
Families, HHS.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of 
Refugee Resettlement (ORR) seeks approval for a revision to an existing 
information collection, requesting Refugee Support Services (RSS) 
grantees and RSS Set Aside grantees to provide the agency name, city, 
state, website, and funding amount for each contracted sub-grantee. 
Additionally, ORR seeks approval to have the option to make this 
information public. This would enhance the accessibility of refugee 
service provider information to eligible clients

[[Page 47501]]

in support of the service referral responsibilities of the State 
Refugee Coordinators. Similar information for ORR's discretionary 
grants is currently made public.

DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. The Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) is required to make a decision concerning 
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--

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Description: This data collection requests RSS grantees and RSS Set 
Aside grantees to provide the agency name, city, state, website, and 
funding amount for each contracted sub-grantee.
    The information will be used for national resource mapping 
pertaining to ORR RSS funding at the local level. Improved knowledge of 
all local providers is important to ORR's overall oversight of the 
program. In addition to RSS formula funding to states and state 
replacement agencies who then issue sub-awards to local providers, ORR 
also awards discretionary grants that directly fund local refugee 
service providers. This report will provide ORR a complete picture of 
the availability all ORR resources to assist newly arrived refugees at 
the local level increasing our ability to identify gaps or target areas 
of need.
    Respondents: State governments and replacement designees.
