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.
