The Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities information collection contains 18 instruments that allow ORR place unaccompanied children referred to ORR by federal agencies into care provider facilities and to transfer children within the ORR care provider network 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 June 12, 2023 and expires on June 30, 2026.
ORR is proposing revisions to Form P-12. There are two currently approved variations of this form under this information collection:
• P-12 UC Portal Capacity Report (UC Portal)
• P-12 Program Entity (UC Path)
ORR worked with the ACF Tech team to review the two current versions of the P-12 form and change them to become useable tools for both programs and ORR. As a result of this process, ORR extracted several sections of the UC Path version of P-12 (Program Entity) and nonsubstantively changed them by redesigning the user interface, rewording fields, and adding clarifying follow-up questions. As a result, the content on the P-12 form was split into three different tools:
• The Bed Configuration Module (BCM) (Form P-12A) onboards programs into a digital representation of their facility and its unique floor plan, allowing them to set and edit groupings and rules per bed. It reformats existing data collections to understand program capacity in greater detail.
• The Bed Assignment and Capacity Overview Module (BACOM) (Form P-12B) is tailored towards day-to-day operations and displays bed assignments and relevant child details from other approved forms all in one place. It digitizes and automates the bed placement recommendation workflow so it is informed by real-time data, instead of static emails and whiteboards.
• The Program Entity (Form P-12C) will retain all fields that were not used to develop the BCM and BACOM except for the Event and SIR tables. Also, the dropdown options for “Record Type” and corresponding options for “Document Type” will be revised. ORR plans to incorporate these fields into its capacity management tools in the future, as additional work is completed to continue to modernize program management capabilities. We expect those changes to be nonsubstantive in nature, as well.
