Refugee Resettlement Program; Proposed Availability of Formula 
Allocation Funding for FY 2001 Targeted Assistance Grants for Services 
to Refugees in Local Areas of High Need

AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), ACF, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed availability of formula allocation funding 
for FY 2001 targeted assistance grants to States for services to 
refugees in local areas of high need.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the proposed availability of funds and 
award procedures for FY 2001 targeted assistance grants for services to 
refugees under the Refugee Resettlement Program (RRP). These grants are 
for service provision in localities with large refugee populations, 
high refugee concentrations, and high use of public assistance, and 
where specific needs exist for supplementation of currently available 
resources.
    This notice continues the eligibility of those 50 counties located 
in 29 States that previously qualified for and received targeted 
assistance program (TAP) grants beginning in FY 1999 as a result of the 
three-year qualification process. The FY 2001 TAP formula allocations 
are based on the same formula as in FY 1999, updated to reflect 
arrivals during the five-year period from FY 1996 through FY 2000.

DATES: Comments on this notice must be received by May 29, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Address written comments, in duplicate, to: Gayle A. Smith, 
Office of Refugee Resettlement, Administration for Children and 
Families, 370 L'Enfant Promenade, SW., Washington, D.C. 20447.
    Application Deadline: The deadline for applications will be 
established by the final notice. Applications should not be sent in 
response to this notice of proposed allocations.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gayle Smith, Director, Division of 
Refugee Self-Sufficiency, (202) 205-3590, e-mail: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#ec8b9f81859884ac8d8f8ac28884849fc28b839a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="92f5e1fffbe6fad2f3f1f4bcf6fafae1bcf5fde4">[email protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Purpose and Scope

    This notice announces the proposed availability of funds for grants 
for targeted assistance for services to refugees in counties where, 
because of factors such as unusually large refugee populations, high 
refugee concentrations, and high use of public assistance, there exists 
and can be demonstrated a specific need for supplementation of 
resources for services to this population.
    The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has available $49,477,000 
in FY 2001 funds for the targeted assistance program (TAP) as part of 
the FY 2001 appropriation for the Department of Health and Human 
Services (Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2001, as enacted into law by 
section 1(a)(1) of Pub. L. No. 106-554).
    The Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) proposes 
to use the $49,477,000 in targeted assistance funds as follows:
    <bullet> $44,529,300 will be allocated to States under the five-
year population formula, as set forth in this notice.
    <bullet> $4,947,700 (10 percent of the total) will be used to award 
discretionary grants to States under separate continuation grant 
awards.
    The purpose of targeted assistance grants is to provide, through a 
process of local planning and implementation, direct services intended 
to result in the economic self-sufficiency and reduced welfare 
dependency of refugees through job placements.
    The targeted assistance program reflects the requirements of 
section 412(c)(2)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 
which provides that targeted assistance grants shall be made available 
``(i) primarily for the purpose of facilitating refugee employment and 
achievement of self-sufficiency, (ii) in a manner that does not 
supplant other refugee program funds and that assures that not less 
than 95 percent of the amount of the grant award is made available to 
the county or other local entity.''

II. Authorization

    Targeted assistance projects are funded under the authority of 
section 412(c)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as 
amended by the Refugee Assistance Extension Act of 1986 (Pub. L. No. 
99-605), 8 U.S.C. 1522(c); section 501(a) of the Refugee Education 
Assistance Act of 1980 (Pub. L. No. 96-422), 8 U.S.C. 1522 note, 
insofar as it incorporates by reference with respect to Cuban and 
Haitian entrants the authorities pertaining to assistance for refugees 
established by section 412(c)(2) of the INA, as cited above; section 
584(c) of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related 
Programs Appropriations Act, 1988, as included in the FY 1988 
Continuing Resolution (Pub. L. No. 100-202), insofar as it incorporates 
by reference with respect to certain Amerasians from Vietnam the 
authorities pertaining to assistance for refugees established by 
section 412(c)(2) of the INA, as cited above, including certain 
Amerasians from Vietnam who are U.S. citizens, as provided under title 
II of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs 
Appropriations Acts, 1989 (Pub. L. No. 100-461), 1990 (Pub. L. No. 101-
167), and 1991 (Pub. L. No. 101-513).

III. Use of Funds

    Targeted assistance funding must be used to assist refugee families 
to achieve economic independence in accordance with regulations at 45 
CFR part 400. The term ``refugee'' includes persons who meet all 
requirements of 45 CFR 400.43 (as amended by 65 FR 15409 (March 22, 
2000)). In addition to the statutory requirement that TAP funds be used 
``primarily for the purpose of facilitating refugee employment'' 
(section 412(c)(2)(B)(i)), funds awarded under this program are 
intended to help fulfill the Congressional intent that ``employable 
refugees should be placed on jobs as soon as possible after their 
arrival in the United States'' (section 412(a)(1)(B)(i) of the INA). 
Therefore, in accordance with 45 CFR 400.313, targeted assistance funds 
must be used primarily for employability services designed to enable 
refugees to obtain jobs with less than one year's participation in the 
targeted assistance program in order to achieve economic self-
sufficiency as soon as possible. Under 45 CFR 400.316, a State may 
provide the same scope of services under targeted assistance as may be 
provided to refugees under 45 CFR 400.154 and 45 CFR 400.155, with the 
exception of 45 CFR 400.155(h). Targeted assistance services may 
continue to be provided after a refugee has entered a job to help the 
refugee retain employment or move to a better job. Targeted assistance 
funds may not be used for long-term training programs such as 
vocational training that last for

[[Page 21230]]

more than a year or educational programs that are not intended to lead 
to employment within a year.
    States may not provide services funded under this notice, except 
for referral and interpreter services, to refugees who have been in the 
United States for more than 60 months (five years). Citizenship and 
naturalization preparation services to refugees who have been in the 
United States for more than 60 months may not be provided with targeted 
assistance funding.
    In accordance with 45 CFR 400.314, States are required to provide 
targeted assistance services to refugees in the following order of 
priority, except in certain individual extreme circumstances: (a) 
Refugees who are cash assistance recipients, particularly long-term 
recipients; (b) unemployed refugees who are not receiving cash 
assistance; and (c) employed refugees in need of services to retain 
employment or to attain economic independence.
    In accordance with 45 CFR 400.317, if targeted assistance funds are 
used for the provision of English language training, such training must 
be provided in a concurrent, rather than sequential, time period with 
employment or with other employment-related activities.
    Refugees who are participating in TAP-funded or social services-
funded employment services or have accepted employment are eligible for 
day care services for children. For an employed refugee, TAP-funded day 
care should be limited to one year after the refugee becomes employed. 
States and counties, however, are expected to use day care funding from 
other publicly funded mainstream programs as a prior resource and are 
encouraged to work with service providers to assure maximum access to 
other publicly funded resources for day care for which the child is 
eligible.
    Reflecting section 412(a)(1)(A)(iv) of the INA, States must 
``ensure that women have the same opportunities as men to participate 
in training and instruction.'' In addition, in accordance with 45 CFR 
400.317, targeted assistance services must be provided, to the maximum 
extent feasible, in a manner that includes the use of bilingual/
bicultural women on service agency staffs to ensure adequate service 
access by refugee women.
    In accordance with 45 CFR 400.317, targeted assistance services 
must be provided in a manner that is culturally and linguistically 
compatible with a refugee's language and cultural background, to the 
maximum extent feasible. In light of the increasingly diverse 
population of refugees who are resettling in this country, refugee 
service agencies will need to develop practical ways of providing 
culturally and linguistically appropriate services to a changing ethnic 
population. Services funded under this notice must be refugee-specific 
services that are designed specifically to meet refugee needs and are 
in keeping with the rules and objectives of the refugee program. 
Vocational or job-skills training, on-the-job training, or English 
language training, however, need not be refugee-specific.
    Finally, in order to provide culturally and linguistically 
compatible services in as cost-efficient a manner as possible in a time 
of limited resources, ORR strongly encourages States and counties to 
promote and give special consideration to the provision of services 
through coalitions of refugee service organizations, such as coalitions 
of Mutual Assistance Associations (MAAs), voluntary resettlement 
agencies, or a variety of service providers. ORR believes it is 
essential for refugee-serving organizations to form close partnerships 
in the provision of services to refugees in order to be able to respond 
adequately to a changing refugee picture. Coalition-building and 
consolidation of providers is particularly important in communities 
with multiple service providers in order to ensure better coordination 
of services and maximum use of funding for services by minimizing the 
funds used for multiple administrative overhead costs.
    The award of funds to States under this notice will be contingent 
upon the completeness of a State's application as described in section 
VIII below.

IV. (Reserved for Discussion of Comments in the Final Notice)

V. Eligible Grantees

    Eligible grantees are (a) those agencies of State governments that 
are responsible for the refugee program under 45 CFR 400.5 in States 
containing counties that qualify for FY 2001 targeted assistance 
awards; (b) a replacement designee appointed by the Director pursuant 
to 45 CFR 400.301(c) if the State authorized the replacement designee 
to act as its agent in applying for and receiving targeted assistance 
funds; or (c) an agency which has State-wide responsibility for an 
alternative to the State-administered program in lieu of the State 
under a Wilson/Fish grant authorized by section 412 (e)(7) of the INA.
    The Director of ORR proposes to determine the eligibility of 
counties for inclusion in the FY 2001 targeted assistance program on 
the basis of the method described in section VI of this notice.
    The use of targeted assistance funds for services to Cuban and 
Haitian entrants is limited to States that have an approved State plan 
under the Cuban/Haitian Entrant Program (CHEP).
    The State agency will submit a single application on behalf of all 
county governments that are qualified counties in that State. 
Subsequent to the approval of the State's application by ORR, local 
targeted assistance plans will be developed by the county government or 
other designated entity and submitted to the State.
    A State with more than one qualified county is permitted, but not 
required, to determine the allocation amount for each qualified county 
within the State. However, if a State chooses to determine county 
allocations differently from those set forth in the final notice, in 
accordance with 45 CFR 400.319, the FY 2001 allocations proposed by the 
State must be based on the State's population of refugees who arrived 
in the U.S. during the most recent five-year period. A State may use 
welfare data as an additional factor in the allocation of its targeted 
assistance funds if it so chooses; however, a State may not assign a 
greater weight to welfare data than it has assigned to population data 
in its allocation formula. In addition, if a State chooses to allocate 
its FY 2001 targeted assistance funds in a manner different from the 
formula set forth in the final notice, the FY 2001 allocations and 
methodology proposed by the State must be included in the State's 
application for ORR review and approval.
    Applications submitted in response to the final notice are not 
subject to review by State and area-wide clearinghouses under Executive 
Order 12372, ``Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs.''

VI. Qualification and Allocation

A. Qualification

    The Director of ORR will determine the qualification of counties 
for targeted assistance once every three years, as stated in the FY 
1999 notice of proposed availability of targeted assistance allocations 
to States which was published in the Federal Register on March 10, 1999 
(64 FR 11927). Since ORR determined the qualification of counties for 
targeted assistance in FY 1999, those qualifying counties determined 
eligible in FY 1999 and listed in this notice as qualified to apply for 
FY 2001 TAP funding would remain qualified for TAP funding through FY 
2001 on the basis of the most current

[[Page 21231]]

five-year refugee/entrant arrival data. ORR does not plan to consider 
the eligibility of additional counties for TAP funding until FY 2002, 
when ORR will again review data on all counties that could potentially 
qualify for TAP funds.

B. Allocation Formula

    Of the funds available for FY 2001 for targeted assistance, 
$44,529,300 would be allocated by formula to States for qualified 
counties based on the initial placements of refugees, Amerasians, 
entrants (including Havana parolees), and Kurdish asylees in these 
counties during the five-year period from FY 1996 through FY 2000 
(October 1, 1995-September 30, 2000). This is data that is available in 
the ORR Refugee Data System.
    The arrival data used as the basis for targeted assistance formula 
allocations do not take asylees or secondary migrants who have received 
services into account. We are unable to include secondary migrants in 
the 5-year population because secondary migration is not currently 
tracked at the county level. We are unable to include asylees, except 
for Kurdish asylees who were processed on Guam, because information 
from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and Executive 
Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) on grants of asylum are available 
by zip code of the asylee. Unfortunately, zip code assignments do not 
correspond to county designations. Many zip codes cross county lines 
and in some cases, State lines. Therefore, based on available data, ORR 
is currently unable to credit numbers of asylees to counties.
    ORR plans to remedy this by revising the ORR-11 and seeking OMB 
approval to capture numbers of asylees and secondary migrants accessing 
services at the county level. This revision to the ORR-11 will allow 
States to report on numbers of asylees and secondary migrants receiving 
services at the county level. ORR will adjust the targeted assistance 
5-year population based on these data.
    States are advised that ORR expects that these revisions to the 
ORR-11, once implemented, will require States to track asylees and 
secondary migrants who receive services by name, social security 
number, alien registration number, county of initial residence/
resettlement, and county of current residence in order to transmit this 
information to ORR in the future.
    With regard to Havana parolees, in the absence of reliable data on 
the State-by-State resettlement of this population, we are crediting 
49,504 Havana parolees who arrived in the U.S. during the past five 
years according to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), 
using the following methodology. For FY 1999 and FY 2000, we credited 
the qualifying counties with Havana parolees according to arrival 
numbers supplied to us by the Parolee Orientation Program funded by the 
International Affairs Office of the INS. For FY 1996 through FY 1998, 
the Havana parolees for each qualifying county in Florida are based on 
actual arrival data submitted by the State of Florida; Havana parolees 
credited to qualifying counties in other States were prorated based on 
the counties' proportion of the three-year (FY 1996 through FY 1998) 
entrant population in the U.S.
    If a qualifying county does not agree with ORR's population 
estimate and believes that its five-year population for FY 1996-FY 2000 
was undercounted and wishes ORR to reconsider its population estimate, 
the county must provide the following evidence: The county must submit 
to ORR a letter from each local voluntary agency that resettled 
refugees in the county that attests to the fact that the refugees/
entrants listed in an attachment to the letter were resettled as 
initial placements during the five-year period from FY 1996-FY 2000 in 
the county making the claim. Documentation must include the name, alien 
number, date of birth and date of arrival in the U.S. for each refugee/
entrant claimed. Listings of refugees who are not identified by their 
alien numbers will not be considered. Counties should submit such 
evidence separately from comments on the proposed formula no later than 
30 days from the date of publication of this notice and addressed to: 
Loren Bussert, Division of Refugee Self-Sufficiency, Office of Refugee 
Resettlement, 370 L'Enfant Promenade, SW., Washington, DC 20447;

submit the required documentation within the required time period will 
result in forfeiture of consideration.

VIII. Application and Implementation Process

    States that are currently operating under approved management plans 
for their FY 1999 targeted assistance program and wish to continue to 
do so for their FY 2001 grants may provide the following in lieu of 
resubmitting the full currently approved plan:
    The State's application for FY 2001 funding shall provide:
    <bullet> Assurance that the State's current management plan for the 
administration of the targeted assistance program, as approved by ORR 
in FY 1999, will continue to be in full force and effect for the FY 
2001 targeted assistance program, subject to any additional assurances 
or revisions required by this notice which are not reflected in the 
current plan. Any proposed modifications to the approved plan will be 
identified in the application and are subject to ORR review and 
approval, e.g., if the State assumes local administration of the 
program or if the State chooses to determine county allocations 
differently. Any proposed changes must address and reference all 
appropriate portions of the FY 1999 application content requirements to 
ensure complete incorporation in the State's management plan.
    <bullet> A line item budget and justification for State 
administrative costs limited to

[[Page 21233]]

a maximum of five percent of the total award to the State. Each total 
budget period funding amount requested must be necessary, reasonable, 
and allocable to the project.
    <bullet> All applicants must submit targeted assistance performance 
goals as described under Section IX.

IX. Results or Benefits Expected

    All applicants must establish targeted assistance proposed 
performance goals for each of the six ORR performance outcome measures 
for each targeted assistance county's proposed service contract(s) or 
sub-grants for the next contracting cycle. Proposed performance goals 
must be included in the application for each performance measure. The 
six ORR performance measures are: entered employments, cash assistance 
reductions due to employment, cash assistance terminations due to 
employment, 90-day employment retentions, average wage at placement, 
and job placements with available health benefits. Targeted assistance 
program activity and progress achieved toward meeting performance 
outcome goals are to be reported quarterly on the ORR-6, the 
``Quarterly Performance Report.''

X. Reporting Requirements

    States will be required to submit quarterly reports on the outcomes 
of the targeted assistance program, using the same form which States 
use for reporting on refugee social services formula grants. This is 
Schedule A and Schedule C, pages 1 and 2 of the ORR-6 Quarterly 
Performance Report form (OMB #0970-0036).

XI. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13)

    This notice does not create any reporting or recordkeeping 
requirements requiring OMB clearance.
