The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval for extension of the information collection for the Annual Survey of Refugees. The ACF Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is charged with helping refugees resettle in the U.S., with the primary goal of rapid self-sufficiency and adjustment. Since 1975, when Southeast Asian refugees first began arriving in the United States, ORR (and its predecessors) has commissioned annual surveys of the refugee population. The Annual Survey of Refugees is a yearly, nationally-representative sample survey of refugee households entering the United States in the previous five fiscal years. These data are used in ORR’s Annual Report to Congress. ORR also makes aggregated findings of the survey available to the general public and uses the findings for purposes of program planning, policy-making, and future budgeting processes. The current request is for extension of the previously approved survey instrument for three additional years. We propose updates to survey administration procedures to reflect experiences in the field to date and best practices in adaptive survey administration, as described in Supplemental Statement B.
