Abstract: ACF is requesting an extension of the information collection previously approved under emergency clearance in March of 2020. Pursuant to Exhibit 1, part A.2 of the Flores Settlement Agreement (Jenny Lisette Flores, et al., v. Janet Reno, Attorney General of the United States, et al., Case No. CV 85-4544-RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996), the Administration for Children and Families’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), is directed to provide unaccompanied children in their custody with medical, mental, and dental care until reunification with a qualified sponsor. Unaccompanied minors in ORR custody are placed in grantee-operated licensed care provider facilities that arrange for appropriate healthcare as directed by ORR. All children are required to receive a complete medical examination including screening for infectious diseases and immunizations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention within 2 business days of admission into an ORR-funded licensed care provider facility. If children are still in ORR custody 60 to 90 days after admission, they are required to receive an initial dental exam, or sooner if directed by state licensing requirements. Additional required services include routine medical and dental care, family planning, and emergency health care. ORR requires grantees to maintain records on each child to ensure that health-related evaluations, diagnosed conditions/illnesses, immunizations, and treatments are documented and included in the child’s discharge packet at the time of reunification. ORR requires the Initial Medical Exam and Dental Exam information collections to implement and maintain compliance with the Flores Settlement Agreement (Attachment A).

Short Statement: In the previously approved information collection, the annual burden estimate did not include the time required by healthcare providers and dentists to complete the forms, as it was assumed this information was already collected by the provider and did not impose additional burden. In order to account for the time needed for healthcare providers and dentists to fill out the ORR-developed forms, however, ORR has since increased the burden estimate for this request.
