Abstract

The Refugee Data Submission System for Formula Funds Allocations and Service Analysis (ORR-5) is designed to satisfy the statutory requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Section 412(a)(3) of the INA (8 U.S.C. § 1522(a)(3)) requires that the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) make a periodic assessment of the needs of refugees for assistance and services and the resources available to meet those needs. In order to satisfy statutory requirements, ORR requires each state and replacement designee (hereinafter referred to as “states”) participating in the program to annually submit disaggregated individual records containing certain data elements for eligible ORR populations. ORR utilizes the data collected to assess the number of clients served in each state, resettlement assistance or services clients received, and to determine the corresponding Refugee Support Services (RSS) allocations. ORR also collects data elements to inform evidence-based policy making and program design. New data elements were added in 2021, including additional demographics, primary goals identified, and referrals made to assist clients work towards self-sufficiency, progress made towards achieving said goals, and employment status of employable clients 12 months post-enrollment. This was done to enable ORR and states to monitor implementation of the requirements put forth in ORR Policy Letter 19-07, which provides guidance on RSS family self-sufficiency plans. Individual level data collection enhances ORR and the states’ ability to make data-informed programmatic and policy decisions to strengthen services and best support refugee populations on their path to self-sufficiency and integration. In January 2025, the current Administration released multiple Executive Orders (EO) and memoranda requiring updates to information collections that request gender and/or gender identity, to only request “Sex” with the options Male/Female. Additionally, presidential actions focused on the removal of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-specific activities. To be responsive to the new administration, ACF is submitting change requests for a number of implicated information collections. This request is specific to updates related to a recent presidential action, as detailed in the accompanying Justification for a NonSubstantive Change Memo.

Abstract

This is an extension request to continue to collect data past the current expiration date. This effort supports the NIH Path to Excellence and Innovation (PEI) Program formed in accordance with Presidential Executive Order 13779, The White House Initiative to Promote Excellence and Innovation at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The HBCU pre-solicitation portal is a tool to collect NIH contracts and grants data that HBCUs and their business teaming partners may be interested in pursuing. The portal provides a streamlined platform for NIH funding opportunities that consolidate information from four different Federal websites. Additionally, this tool has a social networking component that creates a space for HBCUs and businesses to collaborate as they pursue of NIH funding opportunities. Through the collection and analysis of this information, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Program Office (SBPO) assists in strengthening HBCUs’ ability to equitably participate in Federal funding programs.

Abstract

The Small Business Administration (“SBA”) must collect this information to examine participants in SBA’s program under 15 U.S.C. § 637 (the “8(a) program”) in response to urgent concerns regarding small business federal contracting and subcontracting compliance by businesses participating in the program, as well as other instances of waste, fraud and abuse in the same program. This information will be used to determine continued eligibility, program and contract term compliance, and to identify instances of fraud. SBA is authorized to collect this information as part of its general investigative authority under the Small Business Act (codified at 15 U.S.C. § 634(b)(11)).Emergency Justfication:See attached memo. The Small Business Administration (“SBA”) requests emergency processing under 5 CFR 1320.13 for a new Information Collection Request (“ICR”). SBA seeks approval by November 18, 2025, to enable immediate collection of business data relating to participants in SBA’s business development program under 15 U.S.C. § 637 (the “8(a) program” and such participants “8(a) participants”). This data is essential to the mission of the SBA in order to examine participants in the 8(a) program in response to urgent concerns regarding small business federal contracting and subcontracting compliance by businesses participating in the program as well as other documented instances of waste, fraud and abuse within the same program. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(1)(ii). Recent government-wide investigations by the Department of Justice, the Small Business Administration Office of Inspector General, and the Government Accountability Office, coupled with recent public allegations of illegal conduct by an 8(a) participant, have exposed systemic risks within the 8(a) program that make the program particularly susceptible to waste, fraud, and abuse. For example, risks of improper pass-through contracting and noncompliance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, improper control of 8(a) firms, eligibility fraud, improper disbursements, and improper transfers of contractual responsibilities across the federal acquisition landscape have been identified. The absence of standardized, data-driven reporting on prime versus subcontractor labor utilization, for example, has been identified as a vulnerability throughout government. SBA’s request will increase visibility into the 8(a) program, strengthen internal surveillance and oversight of 8(a) participants, and reinforce public trust through proactive corrective measures. The public investigations and recent widespread reporting of the 8(a) program’s susceptibility to fraud mentioned above, together with the Department of Justice’s uncovering of a $550 million scandal involving 8(a) contracting at USAID, could jeopardize SBA’s efforts to investigate and counter fraud, waste and abuse in its 8(a) program, as explained further below. In particular, the recent publicity given to both fraud within the program and SBA’s efforts to address it have created a new urgency in requesting potential data essential to SBA’s mission and the integrity of the 8(a) program. The increased attention on the 8(a) program means that the use of normal clearance procedures is extremely likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of essential information that may be altered, destroyed or otherwise concealed by those seeking to evade enforcement. Because of these concerns and the identified systemic risks discussed above, the information must be collected prior to the expiration of the ordinary time periods for notice and comment. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(1)(i). Delaying implementation until completion of normal Paperwork Reduction Act clearance procedures would undermine these efforts and perpetuate risk, including evidentiary spoliation risks, during active oversight investigations. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(2)(iii). SBA’s ability to document 8(a) participant eligibility and compliance is essential to ensuring that small-business set-aside awards meet requirements and maintain program integrity. The requested emergency clearance will allow SBA to gather baseline data and support interagency coordination with OMB, Treasury and other federal agencies utilizing SBA’s 8(a) participants to inform a permanent, government-wide solution.

Abstract

SAMHSA and its Centers will use the data collected for annual reporting required by GPRMA, to describe and understand changes in outcomes from baseline to follow-up to discharge. SAMHSA’s report for each fiscal year will include actual results of performance monitoring for the three preceding fiscal years. Information collected through this request will allow SAMHSA to report on the results of these performance outcomes as well as be consistent with SAMHSA-specific performance domains, and to assess the accountability and performance of its discretionary grant programs. The additional information collected through this request will allow SAMHSA to improve its ability to assess the impact of its programs on key outcomes of interest and to gather vital diagnostic information about clients served by CMHS discretionary grant programs. SAMHSA is in the process of establishing a new data collection tool for client services which will be used by discretionary grants from both CMHS and the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). While working towards this new combined data collection, SAMHSA is requesting to extend the time period for data collection using the currently approved tools without change to the tools.

Abstract

To help address the problem of underage drinking (UAD) and its consequences, SAMHSA sponsors nationwide Communities Talk activities approximately every 2 years. These activities are intended to work at the grassroots level to raise awareness of the public health dangers of UAD and to engage communities in evidence-based prevention. Notably, Communities Talk activities provide a forum for communities to discuss ways they can best prevent UAD by reducing the availability of alcohol and by creating community norms that discourage demand. The information is collected to document the implementation efforts of this nationwide initiative, determine if the federally sponsored activities lead to additional activities within the community that are aimed at preventing and reducing UAD, identify what these activities may possibly include, and help plan for future rounds of Communities Talk.

Abstract

The Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) program serves as the national leader for the provision of shelter and supportive services to youth experiencing homelessness. The RHY program administers grants to public and private organizations to establish and operate youth emergency shelters and transitional living programs. These grant recipients are located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. The Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA), as reauthorized by the Reconnecting Homeless Youth Act of 2008 (P.L.110-378 ) through FY 2013 and more recently reauthorized by the Juvenile Justice Reform Act through FY 2019, mandates that Runaway and Homeless Youth programs provide statistical records profiling the youth and family members whom it serves and also mandates that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) report regularly to Congress on the status of RHY-funded programs serving runaway and homeless youth. Further, these requirements include maintenance of client statistical records and submission of annual program reports regarding the characteristics of the youth and families served and the services provided to them. The October 2008 reauthorization of the Act and the reauthorization through FY 2019, maintained the longstanding requirements, as described in the legislation. This information collection request is for the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) to continue to collect the data standards to meet these legislative requirements. All RHY funded organizations are required to collect and submit their statistical information/data through a larger system of data standards housed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). FYSB’s data standards within that system are referred to as the Runaway and Homeless Youth Homeless Management Information System (RHY-HMIS). RHY grant recipients are required to enter their RHY-HMIS data through their local HUD’s Continuums of Care (CoC) HMIS. Quarterly to meet the legislative requirements, RHY grant recipients work with their HMIS Leads to extract their data for uploading to FYSB. See sections A3 and A4 for more information about the partnership with HUD and its HMIS. ACF has implemented changes to remove sexual orientation from the RHY data standards in current approved information collection requests to comply with the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO).

Abstract

The Current Population Survey-Child Support Supplement (CPS-CSS, Child Support Supplement, (CSS) or Supplement) information collection helps the Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) understand the child support landscape and effectiveness of the child support program and helps to inform policy decisions. The CPS-CSS, last conducted in 2023, was added to the CPS in 2006 as part of a data collection series that the federal government started in 1979 in response to a recommendation by the Conference on Issues in Federal Statistical Needs Relating to Women. As in prior years, the Census Bureau, through an interagency agreement with OCSE, collects the information on child support as a supplement to the monthly CPS. The next survey will take place in April 2026. The information collection activities associated with the CPS-CSS are authorized by 13 U.S.C. 182, which allows the Secretary of Commerce to conduct surveys necessary to furnish annual and other interim current data on the subjects covered by the census, and Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, which authorizes OCSE to sponsor the CPS-CSS. This request is for a revision of a currently approved information collection. Revisions were made to the CPS-CSS, as described in Attachment A, and to the burden estimates based on the last round of data collection.

Abstract

The goal of the Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) Case Registry is to improve and standardize case ascertainment so funded jurisdictions can better their understanding of the incidence and risk factors for sudden death in youth. Data will be used to inform the descriptive epidemiology of SDY, including the incidence, and risk factors. These data will be used to inform prevention strategies as well as best practices for national surveillance of SDY. The changes proposed with this reinstatement include a decrease in burden due to more accurate estimates of time needed to complete modules and better estimates of the number of respondents and the number requiring advanced review. This is an extension of a collection set to expire 9/30/25
