The Placement and Transfer of
Unaccompanied Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities
information collection contains 18 instruments that allow ORR place
unaccompanied children referred to ORR by federal agencies into
care provider facilities and to transfer children within the ORR
care provider network as required by the Homeland Security Act (6
U.S.C. 279), the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act
of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232), and the Flores Settlement Agreement (No.
CV85-4544-RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996)). The collection was last approved
by OMB on June 12, 2023 and expires on June 30, 2026. ORR is
proposing revisions to Form P-12. There are two currently approved
variations of this form under this information collection: • P-12
UC Portal Capacity Report (UC Portal) • P-12 Program Entity (UC
Path) ORR worked with the ACF Tech team to review the two current
versions of the P-12 form and change them to become useable tools
for both programs and ORR. As a result of this process, ORR
extracted several sections of the UC Path version of P-12 (Program
Entity) and nonsubstantively changed them by redesigning the user
interface, rewording fields, and adding clarifying follow-up
questions. As a result, the content on the P-12 form was split into
three different tools: • The Bed Configuration Module (BCM) (Form
P-12A) onboards programs into a digital representation of their
facility and its unique floor plan, allowing them to set and edit
groupings and rules per bed. It reformats existing data collections
to understand program capacity in greater detail. • The Bed
Assignment and Capacity Overview Module (BACOM) (Form P-12B) is
tailored towards day-to-day operations and displays bed assignments
and relevant child details from other approved forms all in one
place. It digitizes and automates the bed placement recommendation
workflow so it is informed by real-time data, instead of static
emails and whiteboards. • The Program Entity (Form P-12C) will
retain all fields that were not used to develop the BCM and BACOM
except for the Event and SIR tables. Also, the dropdown options for
“Record Type” and corresponding options for “Document Type” will be
revised. ORR plans to incorporate these fields into its capacity
management tools in the future, as additional work is completed to
continue to modernize program management capabilities. We expect
those changes to be nonsubstantive in nature, as well.
