The U.S. Repatriation Program
(Program) is authorized by Section 1113 of the Social Security Act
(42 U.S.C. § 1313) and the assistance provided to mentally ill
repatriates found under 24 U.S.C. §§ 321 - 329. This Program also
provides services for emergency repatriations which are authorized
under Section 1113 and by the extension of the Executive Order
(E.O.) precedent, E.O. 12656 (53 CFR 47491). Program regulations
are in 45 CFR 211 & 212. The current collection includes eight
forms with translations in six languages. The information collected
through these forms allows the Office of Human Services Emergency
Preparedness and Response (OHSEPR) to fulfill its statutory
responsibilities to provide temporary assistance to repatriates.
The Program also provides training and technical assistance to
states and territories for routine and emergency repatriation.
Additionally, OHSEPR provides funding to states for emergency
repatriation planning, training, and exercises. OHSEPR is proposing
six new forms to support these activities.
