SUMMARY:
BILLING CODE 4163–19–P
Title: Head Start Family and Child
Experiences Survey (FACES).
OMB No.: 0970–0151.
Description: The Office of Planning,
Research and Evaluation (OPRE),
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),
the program- and classroom-level spring
2015 data collection activities (FR v.79;
pg. 73077 12/09/2014), the American
Indian and Alaska Native Head Start
Family and Child Experiences Survey
(AI/AN FACES) child-level data
collection activities in fall 2015 and
spring 2016 (FR V. 80, pg. 30250 08/07/
2015) and AI/AN FACES program- and
classroom-level spring 2016 data
collection activities (FR V. 80, pg 70231
11/13/2015).
This 30-day notice describes the
planned additional data collection
activities for FACES program- and
classroom-level data collection in spring
2017. Spring 2017 data collection
includes site visits to 360 centers in 180
Head Start programs. As in spring 2015,
for the Core study teachers, program
directors, and center directors will each
complete surveys, approximately 25 to
30 minutes in length. Two Plus studies
are planned related to program
functioning for spring 2017. First,
program and center directors in all 180
programs (and 360 centers) will
complete a 5-minute survey on how
programs are planning for implementing
the new Head Start program
performance standards. Second, all 720
teachers will complete a survey on
program functioning, initially piloted in
spring 2015.
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 teachers and
Head Start directors.

Collection Support for Regional
Partnership Grant Program Round Three
Sites or ‘‘RPG’’ projects. Under RPG, the
Children’s Bureau has issued 21 grants
to organizations such as child welfare or
substance abuse treatment providers or
family court systems to develop
interagency collaborations and
integration of programs, activities, and
services designed to increase well-being,
improve permanency, and enhance the
safety of children who are in an out-ofhome placement or are at risk of being
placed in out-of-home care as a result of
a parent’s or caretaker’s substance use
dependence. The Child and Family
Services Improvement and Innovation
Act (Pub. L. 112–34) includes a targeted
grants program (section 437(f) of the
Social Security Act) that directs the
Secretary of Health and Human Services
to reserve a specified portion of the
appropriation for these Regional
Partnership Grants, to be used to
improve the well-being of children
affected by substance abuse. The overall
objective of the Cross-Site Evaluation
and Technical Assistance projects (the
RPG Cross-Site Evaluation) is to plan,
develop, and implement a rigorous
national cross-site evaluation of the RPG
Grant Program, provide legislativelymandated performance measurement,
furnish evaluation-related technical
assistance to the grantees in order to
improve the quality and rigor of their
local evaluations, and support their
participation in the cross-site
evaluation. The project will evaluate the
programs and activities conducted
through the RPG Program. The
evaluation is being undertaken by the
Children’s Bureau and its contractor
Mathematica Policy Research. The
evaluation is being implemented by

The RPG Cross-Site Evaluation
includes the following components:
1. Implementation and Partnership
Study. The RPG cross-site
implementation and partnership study
will contribute to building the
knowledge base about effective
implementation strategies by examining
the process of implementation in the 21
RPG projects, with a focus on factors
shown in the research literature to be
associated with quality implementation
of evidence-based programs. This
component of the study describes the
RPG projects’ target populations,
selected interventions and their fit with
the target populations, inputs to
implementation, and actual services
provided (including dosage, duration,
content, adherence to curricula, and
participant responsiveness). It examines
the key attributes of the regional
partnerships that grantees develop (for
example, partnerships among child
welfare and substance abuse treatment
providers, social services, and family
courts). It describes the characteristics
and roles of the partner organizations,
the extent of coordination and
collaboration, and their potential to
sustain the partnerships after the grant
ends. Key data collection activities of
the implementation and partnership
study are: (1) Conducting site visits
during which researchers interview RPG
program directors, managers,
supervisors, and frontline staff who
work directly with families; (2)
administering a survey to frontline staff
involved in providing direct services to
children, adults, and families; (3) asking
grantees to provide information about
implementation and their partnerships
as part of their federally required semiannual progress reports; (4) obtaining
service use data from grantees,
enrollment date and demographics of
enrollees, exit date and reason, and
