Abstract

The ORR Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau (UACB) provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State- licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to ensure that serious issues are elevated to ORR and that all incidents, and responses to such incidents, are documented and resolved in a way that protects the interests of unaccompanied alien children. ORR is in the process of reorganizing its information collections to better manage its large portfolio of forms. As part of that reorganization effort, ORR is submitting this request to transfer six existing forms (with revisions) currently approved under OMB# 0970-0547 under a new OMB control number.

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) requests an extension of the generic Disaster Information Collection Form. Under this generic clearance, ACF currently has five Disaster Information Collection Forms (DICF) tailored for each of the five following ACF offices or programs: the Children’s Bureau, the Family Violence Prevention and Services Program, the Office of Child Care, the Office of Head Start, and the Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) Program. This request is to continue use of those forms and extend approval of the overarching generic to allow for potential new submissions over the next three years. There are no changes to the overarching generic or the forms approved under this generic. ACF is required under Presidential Policy Directive 8, the National Response Framework, and the National Disaster Recovery Framework to report the impacts of disasters and the status of continuity of services and recovery on ACF-supported human services programs to the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary's Operation Center. The assessment information collected in the DICFs is used to provide near-real time updates during the response and recovery phases of a disaster. The information is collected on the programs that fall within the disaster-affected and neighboring areas. Process: The ACF Office of Human Services Emergency Preparedness and Response (OHSEPR) reaches out to ACF program offices to determine any impacts on the normal operations of program services. Impact information is collected through the DICFs by the ACF program offices through requests to grantees and state administrators. The information is forwarded to ACF/OHSEPR for analysis and assessment of interruption to ACF services as a result of the disaster.

Abstract

Section 1955 of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 300x-65), as amended by the Children's Health Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106-310) and Sections 581-584 of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 290kk et. seq., as added by the Consolidated Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 106-554)), set forth various provisions which aim to ensure that religious organizations are able to compete on an equal footing for Federal funds to provide substance abuse services. The regulations ensure that SAMHSA substance abuse programs are neutral with regard to the religious character of participating organizations and establish clearly the proper uses to which funds may be put and the conditions for receipt of funding. SAMHSA also provided a model "Notice to Individuals Receiving Substance Abuse Services" for use by religious organizations to inform program beneficiaries or potential beneficiaries who object to the religious character of that program participant that they have the right to referral to an alternate provider.

Abstract

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is requesting a substantive change to the National Resources Inventory Conservation Effects Assessment Project (NRI CEAP) survey. NASS requests to use the minimum category version that includes examples for each of the seven main race/ethnicity categories, for the CEAP Survey. Using the minimum categories with examples would allow NASS to keep the questionnaire at 44 pages and reduce burden to the public compared to using the standard version. Disclosure and data quality concerns would prevent most summarized data from the full race/ethnicity version from publication.

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) serves as the lead U.S. Department of Health and Human Services agency to combat trafficking and modern forms of slavery by administering anti-trafficking programs through grants and contracts and collaborating with federal, tribal, state, and local governmental and nongovernmental organizations. The Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP), a federal agency within ACF, provides leadership over anti-trafficking programs and services under the purview of ACF, including implementation of authorities under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, as amended; Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113‒183); Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114‒22); and the Stop, Observe, Ask, and Respond (SOAR) to Health and Wellness Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–398). In 2016, OTIP, with authority from the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. L. 106‒386), Section 106(b), as amended at 22 U.S. Code § 7104 and 22 U.S. Code § 7105(c)(4), established the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC) to build the capacity of health and human services professionals and help prevent, identify, and respond to trafficking. This is an existing collection that allows NHTTAC to assess the ongoing training and technical assistance (T/TA) needs of health and human services professionals in preventing, identifying, and responding to trafficking, and to determine the level of satisfaction with services provided by NHTTAC. This package includes eight instruments to assist with a comprehensive evaluation of NHTTAC’s T/TA events and associated efforts. This collection of information is necessary to enable NHTTAC to collect recipient and partner feedback in an efficient, timely manner and in accordance with OTIP’s commitment to improving service delivery. The information collected from recipients and partners will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with NHTTAC’s T/TA services. This feedback provides insights into recipient or partner perceptions, expectations, and experiences; provides an early warning of issues with T/TA; and focuses attention on areas where communication, training, or changes in operations might improve the delivery of T/TA or the responsiveness of NHTTAC. These collections allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between NHTTAC and its recipients and partners. It also allows feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.

Abstract

The federally-approved intergovernmental forms are used to facilitate interstate child support case processing when more than one state child support agency is involved, estimated to be in about 15-25% of child support cases. Use of these federal forms is required by 45 CFR 303.7(a)(4) and Section 311(b) of the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (state law that states must adopt as a condition of receiving federal funding for child support). This information collection was first approved in 1988 and has evolved over time. The current set of forms will expire in February 2026. Currently, there are 13 intergovernmental forms each addressing different case processing actions that may be needed in a case. Some of the forms are for agency use only, while some may be completed by private individuals or entities involved in the case. For a list of the forms, see the OCSS website: Intergovernmental Child Support Enforcement Forms | The Administration for Children and Families (hhs.gov). Many families receiving child support services may be English-language learners for whom forms in English are a barrier to receiving effective services. Over the years, states have asked OCSS for translated versions of the forms, especially to serve the large numbers of Spanish-speaking families in many states. According to 2019 Census data, as many as 41 million people speak Spanish in their homes in the U.S. Better serving these families with translated forms aligns with Secretary Becerra’s commitment to improve and provide language access services to English-language learners (i.e., individuals with Limited English Proficiency) under Executive Orders 13166, 13985, and 14031. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Abstract

Section 5(a) of the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA)(15 U.S.C. § 2054(a)) requires the Commission to collect information related to the cause and prevention of death, injury, and illness associated with consumer products. CPSC staff conducts continuing studies and investigations of deaths, injuries, diseases, other health impairments, and economic losses resulting from incidents involving consumer products. CPSC staff obtains information about product-related deaths, injuries, and illnesses from a variety of sources, including news outlets, death certificates, consumer complaints, and medical facilities. CPSC staff also operates the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), which provides timely data on consumer product-related injuries treated in hospital emergency departments in the United States. CPSC staff also uses the NEISS system to collect information on childhood poisonings in accordance with the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970. From these sources, the CPSC staff selects cases of interest for further investigation by contacting persons who witnessed or were injured in incidents involving consumer products. These investigations are conducted on-site (face-to-face), by telephone, or by the Internet. On-site investigations are usually made in cases where the CPSC staff needs photographs of the incident site, the product involved, or detailed information about the incident. This information can come from face-to- face interviews with persons who were injured or who witnessed the incident, as well as via contact with state and local officials, including police, coroners and fire investigators, and others with knowledge of the incident.

Abstract

The Office of Child Support Services (OCSS) developed the National Medical Support Notice (NMSN) Part A as a standard, required form for child support agencies to use to ensure dependent children are enrolled in available employer-sponsored medical coverage, if required by a support order. The NMSN Part A was most recently approved on 11/22/2022 and the current expiration date is11/30/2025. Currently, child support agencies download the paper NMSN form from the OCSS website, complete the form manually, and exchange NMSNs with employer partners by U.S. mail. Some states (e.g. TX) allow employers to retrieve the NMSN from their employer portal but there are not many states that do so. Currently, states send the completed NMSN to employers via U.S. mail, the employer responds to the state child support agencies by U.S. mail, and employers send the NMSN to their plan administrators, also by U.S. mail. OCSS developed an electronic option for child support agencies to exchange NMSNs with employer partners. To exchange that information, OCSS created the e-NMSN record specifications to accompany the currently approved NMSN Part A. With the electronic e-NMSN process, states, employers, and plan administrators may exchange the documents electronically without using the U.S. mail, thereby saving time and mailing costs. Note that use of the e-NMSN electronic reporting process will not change any of the data elements collected under the currently approved NMSN Part A. Adding the newly developed e-NMSN record specifications to the NMSN Part A allows states and tribes to program their systems to send the notice electronically to employers participating in e-NMSN. The electronic process reduces the time for states and tribes to send and employers to receive and process medical support orders allowing coverage for children to begin much sooner. This e-NMSN process is voluntary for all states, tribes, and employers. The following ICR has been updated with non substantive changes in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.

Abstract

This generic information collection plan provides for the collection of qualitative feedback from consumers, financial institutions, and stakeholders on a wide range of services the Bureau provides in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Bureau's commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback, the Bureau means information that provides useful insights on, for example, comprehension, usability, perceptions, and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. The Bureau expects this feedback to include insights into consumer, financial institution, or stakeholder perceptions, experiences, and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between the Bureau and consumers, financial institutions, and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.
