Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Division of Unaccompanied Children's Services (DUCS) Request
for Specific Consent.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection
Reauthorization Act of 2008 (TVPRA of 2008), Public Law 110-457 was
enacted into law December 23, 2008. Section 235(d) directs the
Secretary of HHS to grant or deny requests for specific consent for
unaccompanied alien children in HHS custody who seek to invoke the
jurisdiction of a state court for a dependency order and who also seek
to invoke the jurisdiction of a state court to determine or alter his
or her custody status or release from ORR. These requests can be
extremely time sensitive since a child must ask a state court for
dependency before turning 18 years old.
In developing procedures for collecting the necessary information
from unaccompanied alien children, their attorneys, or other
representatives to allow HHS to approve or deny consent requests, ORR/
DUCS devised a form. Specifically, the form asks the requestor for his/
her identifying information, basic identifying information on the
unaccompanied alien child, the name of the HHS-funded facility where
the child is in HHS custody and care, the name of the court and its
location, and the kind of request (e.g., for a change in custody,
etc.). The form also asks that the unaccompanied alien child's attorney
or authorized representative attach a Notice of Representation, which
is an approved federal government agency form used for immigration
procedures that authorizes the attorney to act on behalf of the child
(i.e., G-28, EOIR-28, EOIR-29), or any other form of authorization to
act on behalf of the unaccompanied alien child.
Respondents: Attorneys, accredited legal representatives, or others
authorized to act on behalf of a unaccompanied alien child.
