The Placement and Transfer of
Unaccompanied Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities
information collection contains 20 instruments that allow ORR to
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) and the Trafficking Victims Protection
Reauthorization Act of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232). ORR is proposing
revisions to one form in this collection, the Foster Care Placement
Memo (Form P-5). Care providers use the Foster Care Placement Memo
(Form P-5) to ensure placement in a foster home that meets the
child’s needs and continuity of services. See UC Policy Guide
Section 1.2.6 ORR Long Term Foster Care for related policies. ORR
has not yet been able to start using the currently approved version
of Form P-5 due to an implementation delay of related foster care
policy. The form contains elements related to the foster care
policy revisions that are currently deliberative. ORR considered
issuing a separate set of instructions to ignore elements of the
form that cannot yet be implemented, but ultimately determined that
this would be confusing for users. Instead, ORR is proposing
revisions to Form P-5 that will remove elements specifically
related to the as-of-yet unpublished policy guidance. ORR is also
proposing additional revisions, unrelated to the unpublished policy
guidance, that will improve the instrument’s clarity and
effectiveness to better serve its purpose within the agency. Once
the new policy is ready for publication, ORR will submit a
non-substantive request to reverse the currently requested
revisions that are related to the policy. This process will ensure
that the necessary adjustments are made in a timely manner to align
with the updated policy guidance.
