Title: Head Start Family and Child
Experiences Survey (FACES).
OMB No.: 0970–0151.
Description: The Office of Planning,
Research and Evaluation (OPRE),
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), is
proposing to collect data for a new
round of the Head Start Family and
Child Experiences Survey (FACES).
Featuring a new ‘‘Core Plus’’ study
design, FACES will provide data on a
set of key indicators, including
information for performance measures.
The design allows for more rapid and
frequent data reporting (Core studies)
and serves as a vehicle for studying
more complex issues and topics in
greater detail and with increased
efficiency (Plus studies).
The FACES Core study will assess the
school readiness skills of Head Start
children, survey their parents, and ask
their Head Start teachers to rate
children’s social and emotional skills. In
addition, FACES will include
observations in Head Start classrooms,
and program director, center director,
and teacher surveys. FACES Plus
studies include additional survey
content of policy or programmatic
interest, and may include additional
programs or respondents beyond those
participating in the Core FACES study.
Previous notices provided the
opportunity for public comment on the
proposed Head Start program
recruitment and center selection process
(FR V. 78, pg. 75569, 12/12/2013; FR V.
79, pg. 8461, 02/12/2014), the childlevel data collection in fall 2014 and
spring 2015 (FR V. 79, pg. 11445, 02/28/
2014; FR V. 79, pg. 27620, 5/14/2014),
and the program- and classroom-level
spring 2015 data collection activities
(FR V. 79, pg. 73077, 12/09/2014). This
30-day notice describes the planned
data collection activities for a new Plus
study: The American Indian and Alaska
Native Head Start Family and Child
Experiences Survey (AI/AN FACES),
including fall 2015 activities of selecting
classrooms and children for the study,
conducting child assessments and
parent surveys, and obtaining Head
Start teacher reports on children’s
development.
AI/AN FACES fall 2015 data
collection includes site visits to 37
centers in 22 Head Start programs to
sample classrooms and children for
participation in the study. Field
enrollment specialists (FES) will request
a list of all Head Start funded
classrooms from Head Start staff and
will ask for the teacher’s first and last
names, the classroom session type
(morning, afternoon, full day, or home
visitor), and the number of Head Start
children enrolled in each classroom.
Then for each selected classroom the
FES will request the names and dates of
birth of each child enrolled.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 27, 2015 / Notices
Approximately two weeks later, field
staff will go to the 22 Head Start
programs to directly assess the school
readiness skills of 800 children sampled
to participate in AI/AN FACES. Parents
of sampled children will complete
surveys on the Web or by telephone
about their children, activities family
members engage in with their children,
and family and household background
characteristics. Head Start teachers will
rate each sampled child’s social and
emotional skills (approximately 10
children per classroom) using the Web
or paper-and-pencil forms.
The purpose of the Core data
collection is to support the 2007
reauthorization of the Head Start
program (Pub. L. 110–134), which calls
for periodic assessments of Head Start’s
quality and effectiveness. As additional
information collection activities are
fully developed, in a manner consistent
with the description provided in the 60day notice (79 FR 11445) and prior to
use, we will submit these materials for
a 30-day public comment period under
the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Respondents: Head Start children,
parents of Head Start children, Head
Start teachers and Head Start staff.

Plan Guidance and Native Employment
Works (NEW) Program Report.
Title: Native Employment Works
(NEW) Program Plan Guidance and
Report Requirements.
OMB No.: 0970–0174.
Description: The Native Employment
Works (NEW) program plan is the
application for NEW program funding.
As approved by the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), it
documents how the grantee will carry
out its NEW program. The NEW
program plan guidance provides
instructions for preparing a NEW
program plan and explains the process
for plan submission every third year.
There are two versions of this plan
guidance: One for tribes that include
their NEW program in a Public Law
102–477 project, and one for tribes that
do not. The primary difference between
the guidance documents is in the
instructions for how to submit the plan.
The NEW program report provides
information on the activities and
accomplishments of grantees’ NEW
programs. The NEW program report and
instructions specify the program data
that NEW grantees report annually.
Respondents: Federally recognized
Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations
that are NEW program grantees.
