In order for a State or Replacement
Designee (RD) to receive refugee resettlement assistance funds, it
must submit a plan that meets the requirements of 8 U.S.C. 1522 of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) [Title IV, Sec. 412
of the Act] for each state agency requesting federal funding for
refugee resettlement under 8 U.S.C. 524 [Title IV, Sec. 414 of the
Act]) and 45 CFR Part 400. The State Plan Template for Grants to
States for Refugee Resettlement provides states and RDs with the
required components and mandatory sequence of a State Plan. The
collection is necessary for the Office of Refugee Resettlement
(ORR) to ensure that a state or RD administering an ORR-funded
refugee assistance program has prepared a plan that meets the
requirements of 45 CFR Part 400. 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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
