What the agency says
ORR is correcting an interim rule (IFR) that was published in the Federal Register on November 27, 2024 with an effective date of December 27, 2024. The Investigations of Child Abuse and Neglect IFR provides standards and processes for ORR to apply when it conducts investigations into allegations of child abuse and neglect that occur in certain care provider facilities funded by ORR to provide residential and other services for unaccompanied children; describes a process for appeal and review of substantiated allegations; and establishes an ORR Central Registry to list individuals with certain findings of child abuse and neglect that have been substantiated and sustained after exhausting the appeal and review process.
