Abstract: The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a revision to the ORR-6 Performance Report (OMB Control No. 0970-0036). The ORR-6 collects participation and performance data for refugee assistance programs including Refugee Cash Assistance, Refugee Medical Assistance, Medical Screening, Refugee Support Services (RSS), RSS Set-Asides, including the Annual Service Plan and the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Program. This extension with revisions includes modifications to data collection instruments and instructions to improve data quality, reduce respondent burden, clarify reporting requirements, and align with current program operations and eligible populations.
