Abstract

The Refugee Data Submission System for Formula Funds Allocations and Service Analysis (ORR-5) is designed to satisfy the statutory requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Section 412(a)(3) of the INA (8 U.S.C. § 1522(a)(3)) requires that the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) make a periodic assessment of the needs of refugees for assistance and services and the resources available to meet those needs. In order to satisfy statutory requirements, ORR requires each state and replacement designee (hereinafter referred to as “states”) participating in the program to annually submit disaggregated individual records containing certain data elements for eligible ORR populations. ORR utilizes the data collected to assess the number of clients served in each state, resettlement assistance or services clients received, and to determine the corresponding Refugee Support Services (RSS) allocations. ORR also collects data elements to inform evidence-based policy making and program design. New data elements were added in 2021, including additional demographics, primary goals identified, and referrals made to assist clients work towards self-sufficiency, progress made towards achieving said goals, and employment status of employable clients 12 months post-enrollment. This was done to enable ORR and states to monitor implementation of the requirements put forth in ORR Policy Letter 19-07, which provides guidance on RSS family self-sufficiency plans. Individual level data collection enhances ORR and the states’ ability to make data-informed programmatic and policy decisions to strengthen services and best support refugee populations on their path to self-sufficiency and integration. In January 2025, the current Administration released multiple Executive Orders (EO) and memoranda requiring updates to information collections that request gender and/or gender identity, to only request “Sex” with the options Male/Female. Additionally, presidential actions focused on the removal of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)-specific activities. To be responsive to the new administration, ACF is submitting change requests for a number of implicated information collections. This request is specific to updates related to a recent presidential action, as detailed in the accompanying Justification for a NonSubstantive Change Memo.

Abstract

This is an extension of a currently approved generic clearance which allows NIH to continue to request detailed information from organizations (universities, non-profits, etc.) when there is a need to gather information for various activities. This generic provides a quick and efficient process to create registration forms for NIH sponsored conference, meetings, workshops, poster sessions, presentations, panels, and website content. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) directly sponsors, organizes, and conducts research-related activities such as conferences, workshops, meetings, poster sessions, and training courses. These activities are designed to be relevant to the current state of research in each field or to the current state of participant’s research projects or careers, and other resource limitations and determine the number of possible participants. For such activities to be timely and to optimally use available resources to address needs and opportunities within the research community, it is necessary for NIH to have a means to register and select the most appropriate participants, according to the type or purpose of a given activity.

Abstract

The Small Business Administration (“SBA”) must collect this information to examine participants in SBA’s program under 15 U.S.C. § 637 (the “8(a) program”) in response to urgent concerns regarding small business federal contracting and subcontracting compliance by businesses participating in the program, as well as other instances of waste, fraud and abuse in the same program. This information will be used to determine continued eligibility, program and contract term compliance, and to identify instances of fraud. SBA is authorized to collect this information as part of its general investigative authority under the Small Business Act (codified at 15 U.S.C. § 634(b)(11)).Emergency Justfication:See attached memo. The Small Business Administration (“SBA”) requests emergency processing under 5 CFR 1320.13 for a new Information Collection Request (“ICR”). SBA seeks approval by November 18, 2025, to enable immediate collection of business data relating to participants in SBA’s business development program under 15 U.S.C. § 637 (the “8(a) program” and such participants “8(a) participants”). This data is essential to the mission of the SBA in order to examine participants in the 8(a) program in response to urgent concerns regarding small business federal contracting and subcontracting compliance by businesses participating in the program as well as other documented instances of waste, fraud and abuse within the same program. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(1)(ii). Recent government-wide investigations by the Department of Justice, the Small Business Administration Office of Inspector General, and the Government Accountability Office, coupled with recent public allegations of illegal conduct by an 8(a) participant, have exposed systemic risks within the 8(a) program that make the program particularly susceptible to waste, fraud, and abuse. For example, risks of improper pass-through contracting and noncompliance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, improper control of 8(a) firms, eligibility fraud, improper disbursements, and improper transfers of contractual responsibilities across the federal acquisition landscape have been identified. The absence of standardized, data-driven reporting on prime versus subcontractor labor utilization, for example, has been identified as a vulnerability throughout government. SBA’s request will increase visibility into the 8(a) program, strengthen internal surveillance and oversight of 8(a) participants, and reinforce public trust through proactive corrective measures. The public investigations and recent widespread reporting of the 8(a) program’s susceptibility to fraud mentioned above, together with the Department of Justice’s uncovering of a $550 million scandal involving 8(a) contracting at USAID, could jeopardize SBA’s efforts to investigate and counter fraud, waste and abuse in its 8(a) program, as explained further below. In particular, the recent publicity given to both fraud within the program and SBA’s efforts to address it have created a new urgency in requesting potential data essential to SBA’s mission and the integrity of the 8(a) program. The increased attention on the 8(a) program means that the use of normal clearance procedures is extremely likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of essential information that may be altered, destroyed or otherwise concealed by those seeking to evade enforcement. Because of these concerns and the identified systemic risks discussed above, the information must be collected prior to the expiration of the ordinary time periods for notice and comment. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(1)(i). Delaying implementation until completion of normal Paperwork Reduction Act clearance procedures would undermine these efforts and perpetuate risk, including evidentiary spoliation risks, during active oversight investigations. 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(2)(iii). SBA’s ability to document 8(a) participant eligibility and compliance is essential to ensuring that small-business set-aside awards meet requirements and maintain program integrity. The requested emergency clearance will allow SBA to gather baseline data and support interagency coordination with OMB, Treasury and other federal agencies utilizing SBA’s 8(a) participants to inform a permanent, government-wide solution.

Abstract

This is a revision to an existing collection. In accordance with Executive Orders 14148 and 14168, the form GSA 7437, Art in Architecture Program National Artist Registry, will be updated to eliminate the optional demographic information, which is no longer being collected. The Art in Architecture (AiA) program is the result of a policy decision made in January 1963 by the U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) Administrator Bernard L. Boudin, who served on the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal Office Space in 1961-62. The Committee’s report to President Kennedy included the “Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture,” which detailed a new quality conscious Federal attitude toward architecture. One point, which was omitted from the report because Administrator Boudin implemented it prior to the policy’s publication, was: A modest portion of the cost of each new Federal office building, not to exceed one percent of the total expense, shall be allocated for the purchase of fine arts to be incorporated in the general design. Emphasis should be placed on the work of living American artists, representing all trends of contemporary art, but this practice should not preclude the purchase of works of earlier periods where this would be appropriate. In commissioning the work of living artists, competitions should be encouraged. Administrator Boudin approved a policy of commissioning works of art for public buildings under GSA’s jurisdiction, custody, and control in an amount not to exceed one half of one percent of the construction cost. The requirement to commission artworks for federal buildings can be found in part 102-77 of the Federal Management Regulation (41 C.F.R. part 102-77). The program has been modified over the years, most recently in 2022, to align with Executive Order (E.O.)14029 issued on May 14, 2021 “Revocation of Certain Presidential Actions and Technical Amendment,” and to support E.O. 13985 issued January 2021, titled “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. E.O. 14029 revoked E.O. 13934 issued July 3, 2020, Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes. E.O. 14189 of January 29, 2025 “Celebrating America’s 250th Birthday, revoked E.O.14129 and reinstates E.O. 13934. As mandated by E.O. 13934, the AiA program must prioritize the commissioning of artworks that portray historically significant Americans or events of American historical significance, or that illustrate the ideals upon which the Nation was founded. Priority is to be given to public-facing monuments to former Presidents of the United States, and to individuals and events relating to the discovery of America, the founding of the United States, and the abolition of slavery. Such works of art are to be designed to be appreciated by the public and by those who use and interact with Federal buildings. When an artwork commissioned by GSA is meant to depict a historically significant American, the artwork is required to be a lifelike or realistic representation of that person, not an abstract or modernist representation. With the implementation of the 2025 policy, the AiA program seeks to commission works from American artists that “portray historically significant Americans or events of American historical significance or illustrate the ideals upon which our nation was founded.” Since 1972, GSA has awarded over 500 commissions to artists with established careers and artists of local and regional prominence. In support of the AiA program’s goal to commission the most talented contemporary American artists to create works for the nation’s important new civic buildings, it is necessary to identify those artists. The GSA National Artist Registry (Registry) offers the opportunity for artists across the country to participate and to be considered for commissions.

Abstract

The ORR Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau (UACB) provides care and custody for unaccompanied alien children until they can be safely released to a sponsor, repatriated to their home country, or obtain legal status. ORR funds residential care provider facilities that provide temporary housing and other services to children in ORR custody. Generally, care provider facilities are State- licensed (with the exception of those located in states unwilling to consider them for licensure and temporary influx care facilities) and must meet ORR requirements to ensure a high-level quality of care. Services provided at care provider facilities include, but are not limited to, education, recreation, vocational training, acculturation, nutrition, medical, mental health, legal, and case management. ORR uses several forms directly related to the care of unaccompanied alien children. The forms in this information collection allow ORR to ensure that serious issues are elevated to ORR and that all incidents, and responses to such incidents, are documented and resolved in a way that protects the interests of unaccompanied alien children. ORR is in the process of reorganizing its information collections to better manage its large portfolio of forms. As part of that reorganization effort, ORR is submitting this request to transfer six existing forms (with revisions) currently approved under OMB# 0970-0547 under a new OMB control number.
