DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Proposed Information Collection Activity; Refugee Support
Services (RSS) and RSS Set Aside Sub-Agency List (New Collection)
AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement; Administration for Children and
Families; HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) seeks
approval for a new information collection requesting Refugee Support
Services (RSS) grantees and RSS Set Aside grantees to provide the
agency name, city, state, phone number, and funding amount for each
contracted sub-grantee.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with
the requirements of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described above.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed collection of information can be
obtained and comments may be forwarded by emailing
[email protected]. Alternatively, copies can also be obtained
by writing to the Administration for Children and Families, Office of
Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), 330 C Street SW, Washington,
DC 20201, Attn: ACF Reports Clearance Officer. All requests, emailed or
written, should be identified by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This new data collection will request RSS grantees and
RSS Set Aside grantees to provide the agency name, city, state, phone
number, and funding amount for each contracted sub-grantee. Without
having this information regarding RSS sub-grantees, the ACF Office of
Refugee Resettlement (ORR) does not know whether an agency is, or is
not, receiving ORR funds. This makes it difficult to ensure
communications with, provide access to targeted assistance for, and
keep abreast of the activities of all ORR-funded refugee service
providers.
Respondents: State governments and replacement designees.

proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection
of information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted
within 60 days of this publication.
