THE PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT OF 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) STATEMENT OF PUBLIC BURDEN: The purpose of this information collection is to allow ORR to determine whether initial placement in a restrictive
setting is appropriate for a UAC. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.25 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the
data needed, and reviewing the collection of information. This is a mandatory collection of information (Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 279). An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. If you have any comments on this collection of
information please contact UACPolicy@acf.hhs.gov.

DANGER TO OTHERS

UAC are not placed in a secure facility absent a determination that the child poses a danger to self, others, or has been charged with
having committed a criminal offense. In assessing danger, ORR considers criminal history, gang affiliation that requires further
assessment, and/or sexual predatory behavior/inappropriate sexual behavior. ORR considers certain criminal history as evidence of
danger as provided below.

A. CRIMINAL HISTORY

Criminal history or behavior meets the minimum requirements for placement into a secure care provider if it: 1) involved an element
of violence from the action, threat or harassment; 2) involved multiple incidents of the same offense (showing a pattern or practice
of criminal activity); or, 3) involved different incidents of separate offenses. Criminal history not falling into one of these three
categories does not meet the “dangerousness” requirement for placement in a secure facility, but may justify placement in a staff
secure facility.

Yes

No

No

Violent Offenses

"chargeable" for. NOTE: "Chargeable" means that there is probable cause (based on a law

B. GANG AFFILIATION
Attach referring agency’s basis (if not in the UAC Portal) for determining gang affiliation.
Yes
No
Referral indicates that referring agency has identified the UAC as affiliated with a gang based
on admissions by the UAC or UAC displays gang affiliation.
Yes

No

Yes

No

Referring agency suspects the UAC is affiliated with a gang. Basis for suspicion must be
included in referral notes. If the UAC was previously in ORR custody and released to
a sponsor; and re-referred to ORR custody only because of the UAC’s alleged gang
ties, DHS must submit a copy of the Saravia order with the new referral.
UAC was previously in ORR care and ORR records indicate UAC is affiliated with a gang.

C. SEXUAL PREDATION

Any positive indication or history of sexual predatory behavior or engaging in inappropriate sexual behavior meets minimum
requirement for placement to a therapeutic or secure facility. “Sexual predatory behavior” refers to a UAC with (1) a history of sexual
assault or sexual harassment, (2) that is part of a pattern of behavior with the goal of committing a sexually based crime, and (3)
that is based on a mental disorder or impulse. ORR may consider case history (e.g., law enforcement or court records, ORR custodial
documents such as SIRs) and/or self-disclosures related to the UAC’s history to determine whether their conduct is predatory in
nature.

Yes

No

Referral indicates the referring agency has evidence that the UAC has a history of or displays
sexual predatory behavior or engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior.

Yes

No

UAC was previously in ORR care and ORR records indicate the UAC has sexual predatory
behavior or engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior.

D. CONDUCT IN ORR CUSTODY

A UAC’s conduct in ORR custody that indicates dangerousness may justify placement into a secure facility. Previous SIRs or other
internal ORR documents indicating dangerousness are submitted in support of this finding.

Yes

No

UAC was previously in ORR care and ORR records indicate the UAC committed, or made
credible threats, to commit a violent or malicious act while in ORR custody
