The Family Reunification Packet for Sponsors of Unaccompanied Children information collection contains four instruments that allow ORR to collect information necessary to determine the suitability of a proposed sponsor for an unaccompanied child as required by the Homeland Security Act (6 U.S.C. 279), the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232), and the Flores Settlement Agreement (No. CV85-4544-RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996)). The collection was last approved by OMB on May 19, 2021 and expires on June 30, 2022.
ORR proposes modifying the Authorization for Release of Information (Forms FRP-2 and FRP-2s) to ensure its compliance with the Stipulation and Order of Settlement and Dismissal (“Settlement Agreement”) in Duchitanga v. Huang (No. 18 Civ. 10332 (PAC) (KNF) (S.D. N.Y.), which was executed and approved by the court on May 5, 2022. The proposed changes incorporate language to fulfill ORR’s duty under Sections 3(c) and 4(d) of the Settlement Agreement to notify signees of its obligation to make reasonable efforts to offer fingerprinting appointments and process fingerprints in accordance with the prescribed timelines.
In addition, ORR proposes updating the footnote on the first page of the form to cite the most recent appropriations’ statute
