HHS 30-Day Request for Comments on Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau Administrative Activities

HHS notice requesting comments on the reorganization and revision of several forms involved in the administration of the Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau (UACB). The Office of Refugee Resettlement UACB is in the process of reorganizing its information collections to create more unique information collections that will contain fewer forms under each OMB control number. As part of that reorganization effort, ORR plans to move the Notification of Concern (Form A-7) into a new information collection titled “Home Study and Post-Release Services for Unaccompanied Alien Children” and to move the following forms into a new information collection titled “Incident Reporting for the Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau:”

• Child-Level Event (Form A-9A)
• Emergency Significant Incident Report (Form A-9B)
• Significant Incident Report (Form A-9C)
• Historical Disclosure (Form A-9D)
• Behavioral Note (Form A-9E)
• Program-Level Event Report (Form A-10)

ORR also plans to revise the following forms: Authorization for Release of Records (Form A-5), Notice to Unaccompanied Alien Children for Class Counsel Visits (Form A-4), Care Provider Facility Tour Request (Form A-1A), Key Personnel Minimum Qualifications Checklist and Attestation (Form A-14), and ORR Waiver Request (Form A-15).

Comments are due 6/26/25. (90 FR 22304, 5/27/25)
