Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects
Title: Refugee State-of-Origin Report ORR-11.
OMB No.: 0970-0043.
Description: The information collection of the ORR-11 (Refugee
State-of-Origin Report) is designed to satisfy the statutory
requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Section 412(a)(3)
of the Act requires ORR to compile and maintain data on the secondary
migration of refugees within the United States after arrival.
In order to meet this legislative requirement, ORR requires each
State to submit an annual count of the number of refugees who were
initially resettled in another State. The State does this by counting
the number of refugees with social security numbers indicating
residence in another State at the time of arrival in the U.S. (The
first three digits of the social security number indicate the State of
residence of the applicant.)
Data submitted by the States are compiled and analyzed by the ORR
statistician, who then prepares a summary report which is included in
ORR's annual Report to Congress. The primary use of the data is to
quantify and analyze refugee secondary migration among the 50 States.
ORR uses these data to adjust its refugee arrival totals in order to
calculate the ORR social service allocation.
Respondents: State, Local or Tribal.

proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection
