Description
Following the passage of the 2002 Homeland Security Act (Pub. L
107-296), the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of
Refugee Resettlement (ORR), is charged with the care and placement of
unaccompanied alien children in Federal custody, and implementing a
policy for the release of these children, when appropriate, upon the
request of suitable sponsors while awaiting immigration proceedings. In
order for ORR to make determinations regarding the release of these
children, the potential sponsors must meet certain conditions pursuant
to section 462 of the Homeland Security Act and the Flores v. Reno
Settlement Agreement No. CV85 4544-RJK (C.D. Cal. 1997). The proposed
information collection requests information to be utilized by ORR for
determining the suitability of a sponsor/respondent for the release of
a minor from ORR custody. The proposed instruments are the Sponsors
Agreement to Conditions of Release, Verification of Release, Family
Reunification Packet, and the Authorization for Release of Information.
Respondents: Sponsors requesting release of unaccompanied alien.
