Proposed Projects
Title: Head Start Performance
Standards.
OMB No.: 0970–0148.
Description: Please note that this
submission does not reflect proposed
changes in the Notice of Proposed Rule
Making to update Head Start program
performance standards published on
June 15, 2015. ACF is only requesting
for an extension without change of a
currently approved collection.
Head Start Performance Standards are
the result of a legislative mandate to
administer a high quality
comprehensive child development
program that serves low-income
pregnant women, infants and toddlers,
preschoolers and their families. The
information collection aspects of the
Performance Standards are a part of the
many actions that local agencies must
take to ensure they administer quality
programs for Head Start children and
families. The information collection
items included in the Performance
Standards are almost entirely recordkeeping requirements for local Head
Start programs; these records are
intended to act as a tool for grantees and
delegate agencies to be used in their
day-to-day operations. Such records are
maintained by the grantees and delegate
agencies and are not part of a standard
information collection submitted to the
Federal government. Local programs are
monitored for overall compliance with
the Performance Standards, including
the record-keeping aspects.
Respondents: Head Start and Early
Head Start program grant recipients.

of Section 506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the
Administration for Children and
Families is soliciting public comment
