Abstract: This information collection request consists of several forms that allow the Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program to provide legal services to UC. Minor revisions are proposed: ORR revised the Request for Specific Consent to Juvenile Court Jurisdiction by reorganizing the instrument to make it more user-friendly; expanding the introductory sentence into a short paragraph; and removing a couple extraneous fields. ORR also replaced the term “unaccompanied alien child (UAC)” with “unaccompanied child (UC)” throughout the instruments in this collection. Note that the screenshots of UC Path instruments attached to this package do not reflect this change because it has not yet been developed in the system. However, the revision in terminology will be made before the system is launched. Finally, ORR plans to remove the term “alien” from the title of this information collection and revise it to read “Legal Services for Unaccompanied Children.”
