Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Routine Customer Feedback” (OMB Control Number: 0970-0401)

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Office of Refugee Resettlement Unaccompanied Children Program Technical Assistance Satisfaction Survey

PURPOSE:

The Multidiscipline Technical Assistance Team (MDTAT) within the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Children (UC) Program was launched in March 2023 as a mandate from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Secretary (OS). Under the HHS OS mandate, every care provider is required to receive one annual in-person technical assistance visit. MDTAT was created to strengthen the safe and timely release of children in ORR's care and enhance UC Program care provider operations.

ORR’s MDTAT plans to administer a survey to UC Program and care provider staff at the conclusion of each technical assistance visit to determine level of satisfaction with the visit and solicit additional feedback on how technical assistance sessions may be enhanced. The MDTAT will use the information collected in the surveys to evaluate and tailor the design, development, and delivery of technical assistance to the UC Program.
