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 ORR-11 (Refugee State-
of-Origin Report) is designed to satisfy the statutory requirements of
the Immigration and Naturalization Act (the Act). Section 412(a)(3) of
the Act requires the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to compile
and maintain data on the secondary migration of refugees in 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 United States.
(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 an 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: States.

The Department specifically requests comments on: (a) Whether the
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
