Title: National Center on Early Head
Start-Child Care Partnerships (NCEHS–
CCP) Evaluation.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) in the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) has awarded 275 Early
Head Start expansion and Early Head
Start–child care partnership grants
(EHS–CCP) in 50 states; Washington,
DC; Puerto Rico; and the Northern

new or existing Early Head Start
programs to partner with local child
care centers and family child care
providers to expand high-quality early
learning opportunities for infants and
toddlers from low-income families.
NCEHS–CCP will support the
effective implementation of new EHS–
CCP grants by disseminating
information through training and
technical assistance (T/TA) and
resources and materials. NCEHS–CCP is
primarily targeted to T/TA providers
working directly with the EHS–CCP

(including OHS and OCC federal staff,
Child Care and Development Fund
(CCDF) administrators, Head Start state
and national collaboration office
directors), as well as EHS–CCP grantees
will also find helpful information on
partnerships through NCEHS–CCP’s
resources.
NCEHS–CCP at ZERO TO THREE is
proposing to conduct a descriptive
study of NCEHS–CCP that will provide
information that will document the
activities and progress of NCEHS–CCP
toward its goals and objectives. Findings
from the evaluation will be translated
into action steps to inform continuous
quality improvement of NCEHS–CCP.
The proposed data collection
activities for the descriptive study of
NCEHS–CCP will include the following
components:
• Stakeholder survey. Web-based
surveys will be conducted in the spring
of 2016 and 2018 with key stakeholders
(including regional T/TA specialists,
CCDF administrators, Head Start state
and national collaboration office
directors, and implementation planners
and fiscal consultants). The stakeholder
survey will collect information about
the types of support they received from

CCP grantees, and how support could be
improved.
• Stakeholder telephone interviews.
Semi-structured telephone interviews
will be conducted in spring of 2017 and
2019 with a purposively selected group
of stakeholders that complete the
stakeholder survey. The interviews will
explore in more detail the types of T/TA
support participants received from
NCEHS–CCP, how that support has
informed their work with EHS–CCP
grantees, their satisfaction with the
support, successes and challenges, and
suggestions for improvement.
A 60-Day Federal Register Notice was

This information collection contains the
statutorily-mandated uniform
procedures for the solicitation and
consideration of requests, including
instructions for preparation of
environmental assessments in
conjunction with the National
Environmental Policy Act. The
proposed draft procedures update the
procedures that were originally issued
in August 1997 and incorporate changes
made by the Child Care and
Development Block Grant Act of 2014,
which now allows for a waiver to the
requirement that the use of funds for
construction or renovation does not
result in the decrease in child care
services. Respondents will be CCDF
tribal grantees requesting to use CCDF
funds for construction or major
renovation.
Respondents: Tribal Child Care Lead
