Resettlement (ORR) of the Administration for Children and Families 
(ACF) for the reinstatement of an information collection titled: 
``Refugee Resettlement Program Estimates: CMA Cash/Medical/
Administrative/Unaccompanied Minors--Form ORR-1''. This information 
collection was previously approved under OMB control number 0970-0030.

Information on Document

    Title: Refugee Resettlement Program Estimates: CMA Cash/Medical/
Administration/ Unaccompanied Minors Form No. ORR-1
    OMB No.: 0970-0030
    Description: Section 412(a)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality 
Act provides that no grant or contract may be awarded under this 
section unless an appropriate proposal and application are submitted 
to, and approved by, the appropriate ACF administering official. CFR 
400.11 (b) authorizes the award of funds to States and the District of 
Columbia that meet specified eligibility requirements for the purpose 
of assisting States to provide assistance to immigrants to facilitate 
their transition to this country. Major portions of ACF funds for 
refugee resettlement involves grants to 47 states and the District of 
Columbia. Therefore, to obtain budget estimates for reimbursable costs 
from these entities, reliable state estimates of expenditures, must be 
completed an submitted annually to the Secretary of the Department of 
Health and Human Services, acting through the Director of the Office of 
Refugee Resettlement.
    In order to provide accurate budgetary information and establish a 
fiscal and programmatic baseline for effective monitoring of the use of 
these funds, regulations found at CFR 400.11 (b) require States 
participating in the Refugee Resettlement Program to submit annually 
estimates on the average number of recipients for each of four budget 
categories. The budget categories are: refugee cash assistance, medical 
assistance, State administrative costs and costs associated with 
unaccompanied minors. The budget estimates will be recorded on the 
Refugee Resettlement Program Estimates: CMA Administration/
Unaccompanied Minors--Form ORR-1. The ORR-1 form minimizes the State 
administrative burden by asking only for key information on a single-
page form, using the categories that are precisely equivalent to those 
used for the State reporting of actual quarterly fiscal obligations and 
expenditures.
    Annual Number of Respondents: 48.
    Annual Frequency: 1.
    Average Burden Hours Per Response: 5.
    Total Burden Hours: 24.
