Title: Evaluation of the Refugee Social 

Service (RSS) and Targeted Assistance 

Formula Grant (TAG) Programs: Data 

Collection. 

OMB No.: 0970–0296. 

Description: The Office of Refugee 

Resettlement (ORR) within the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) funds the Refugee Social 

Services (RSS) and Targeted Assistance 

Formula Grant (TAG) programs, which 

are designed to help refugees achieve 

economic success quickly following 

their arrival in the United states through 

employment services, English-language 

instruction, vocational training, and 

other social services. ORR is sponsoring 

a project to (a) Conduct a 

comprehensive evaluation of the 

effectiveness of ORR employability 

services through RSS and TAG, and (b) 

propose options for institutionalizing 

ongoing evaluation and performance 

assessment into the programs. 

ORR is requesting renewal of OMB 

clearance for a survey of refugees that is 

collecting data on refugees’ employment 

and earnings outcomes. Survey 

interviews began in July 2006, and are 

still ongoing. The survey is being 

conducted in three cities: Houston, 

Miami, and Sacramento. The survey 

relies on a mixed-mode data collection 

method that involves both telephone 

and in-person interviews. If individuals 

cannot be reached by phone, an attempt 

is made to contact them in person. 

Three hundred refugees from a 

randomly selected sample in each site 

will complete the survey, for a total of 

900 refugees. 

While locating and interviewing this 

population was expected to be difficult 

due to their high mobility, achieving the 

goal of 900 complete responses needed 

for reliable analysis, while maintaining 

reasonable response rates, has proven 

more time-consuming than expected. As 

of January 26, 2007, 668 refugees have 

already completed the survey. 

Conservatively estimating that slightly 

more than half of the remaining 232 

cases are completed before the current 

clearance expires, about 100 interviews 

would be needed during the extension 

period. Consequently, ORR is requesting 

clearance to continue the survey past its 

current expiration date in March 2007. 

Respondents: Refugees and related 

populations that qualify for RSS/TAG 

services who entered the United States 

between October 1999 and September 

2004.
