Abstract: The ORR-3 and ORR-4 Report Forms collect information required by statute and are necessary to administer the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) Program. The ORR-3 Placement Report is submitted within 30 days of a child's initial placement in the program, within 60 days of a reportable change in the child's case (e.g. establishment or ending of legal responsibility, attainment of immigration status, placement change), and within 60 days of termination from the program. The ORR-4 Outcomes Report is submitted annually beginning 12 months after the date of the initial placement report. The ORR-4 collects information on education attainment, personal functioning, family reunification activities, and transition to adulthood services and outcomes.

Short Statement: The proposed revisions are based upon comments received from State agency staff, URM provider agencies, and ORR’s analysis of reporting trends. The estimated number of respondents was updated based on the average number of respondents over the past three years. Additionally, ORR staff factored in current and projected in-care numbers for URM. Overall, ORR is proposing revisions to improve clarity, secure outcome-based data, and increase compliance with reporting requirements. The proposed changes to the ORR-3 and ORR-4 Report Forms would reduce estimated burden of data collection by 23% for State agencies and URM providers.
