The Voluntary Agencies Matching Grant
(MG) Program Data Reporting was approved by OMB in February, 2024.
Under this data collection, resettlement agencies submit MG Program
data to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Upon OMB approval
of the collection, the Refugee Arrivals Data System (RADS) team
within ORR began building the new reporting module in ORR’s
database. Over the course of building the database system, ORR
program staff and RADS teams identified minor technical changes
needed to accurately capture the approved information. Changes were
approved through a nonsubstantive change request, including updated
options to certain drop-down menus or acceptable values,
clarification to instructions for certain fields, or correction to
conflicting guidance within the instructions. 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.
