The Placement and Transfer of Unaccompanied Children into ORR Care Provider Facilities information collection contains 20 instruments that allow ORR to 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) and the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (8 U.S.C. 1232).
ORR is proposing revisions to one form in this collection, the Foster Care Placement Memo (Form P-5).
Care providers use the Foster Care Placement Memo (Form P-5) to ensure placement in a foster home that meets the child’s needs and continuity of services. See UC Policy Guide Section 1.2.6 ORR Long Term Foster Care for related policies.
ORR has not yet been able to start using the currently approved version of Form P-5 due to an implementation delay of related foster care policy. The form contains elements related to the foster care policy revisions that are currently deliberative. ORR considered issuing a separate set of instructions to ignore elements of the form that cannot yet be implemented, but ultimately determined that this would be confusing for users. Instead, ORR is proposing revisions to Form P-5 that will remove elements specifically related to the as-of-yet unpublished policy guidance. ORR is also proposing additional revisions, unrelated to the unpublished policy guidance, that will improve the instrument’s clarity and effectiveness to better serve its purpose within the agency.
Once the new policy is ready for publication, ORR will submit a non-substantive request to reverse the currently requested revisions that are related to the policy. This process will ensure that the necessary adjustments are made in a timely manner to align with the updated policy guidance.
