Unaccompanied Children Program Foundational Rule; Correction

The ORR is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on April 30, 2024. The final rule adopted and replaced regulations relating to key aspects of the placement, care, and services provided to unaccompanied children referred to the ORR, pursuant to ORR's responsibilities for coordinating and implementing the care and placement of unaccompanied children who are in Federal custody by reason of their immigration status under the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (HSA) and the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (TVPRA). The final rule established a foundation for the Unaccompanied Children Bureau Program (UC Bureau Program) that is consistent with ORR's statutory duties, for the benefit of unaccompanied children and to enhance public transparency as to the policies governing the operation of the UC Bureau.
