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).
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB is required to make a
decision concerning the collection of
information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the
Federal Register. Therefore, a comment
is best assured of having its full effect
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
directly to the following: Office of
Management and Budget, Paperwork
Reduction Project, Email: OIRA_
SUBMISSION@OMB.EOP.GOV, Attn:
Desk Officer for the Administration for
Children and Families.
Copies of the proposed collection may
be obtained by writing to the
Administration for Children and

should be identified by the title of the
information collection. Email address:
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Similar to
FACES 2014–2018, in 2019, two parallel
studies will commence. FACES 2019
focuses on Head Start Regions I through
X (which are geographically based);
AI/AN (American Indian and Alaska
Native) FACES 2019 focuses on Region
XI (which funds Head Start programs
that serve federally recognized
American Indian and Alaska Native
tribes). Both studies will provide data
on a set of key indicators for Head Start
programs. In fall 2019 and spring 2020,
FACES will assess the school readiness
skills of 2,400 Head Start children in
Regions I–X (FACES 2019) and 800
children in Region XI (AI/AN FACES
2019), survey their parents, and ask
their Head Start teachers to rate
children’s social and emotional skills.
This sample will be drawn from 60
programs in Regions I–X and 22
programs in Region XI. In spring 2020,
classroom observations of sampled
programs will occur. In Regions I–X, the
number of programs will increase from
the 60 that are used to collect data on
children’s school readiness outcomes to
180 for the purpose of conducting
observations in 720 Head Start
classrooms. In Region XI, the program
sample will remain at 22, and
SUMMARY:

approximately 80 Head Start classroom
observations will take place. Program
director, center director, and teacher
surveys will also be conducted in spring
2020 in Regions I–XI. In spring 2022,
program level data collection will be
repeated in Regions I–X only. FACES
2019 also features a ‘‘Core Plus’’ design,
with the above activities reflecting the
Core data, with the potential of ‘‘Plus’’
studies to inform emerging
programmatic questions. If any Plus
studies are conducted, they will be
conducted within the Core sample and
will be included in a future Federal
Register notice.
Previous Federal Register notices
provided the opportunity for public
comment on the proposed Head Start
program recruitment and center
selection process (FR V.82, pg. 48819
10/20/2017; FR V.83, pg. 7480 02/21/
2018). This notice describes the planned
data collection activities for the FACES
2019 and AI/AN FACES 2019 data
collection. Data collection activities
include classroom and child sampling
information collection, direct child
assessments, parent surveys, teacher
child reports, and staff surveys.
Sampling of children and classrooms
for FACES starts with site visits to 157
Head Start centers (120 for FACES 2019
and 37 for AI/AN FACES 2019) in fall
2019. Field enrollment specialists (FES)
will request a list of all Head Startfunded classrooms from Head Start staff.
Next, for each selected classroom, the
FES will request enrollment information
for each child enrolled. Data collection
will then start with site visits in fall
2019 to 82 Head Start programs (60 for
FACES 2019 and 22 for AI/AN FACES
2019) to directly assess the school
readiness skills of 3,200 children (2,400
for FACES 2019 and 800 for AI/AN
FACES 2019) sampled for FACES and
whose parents agree to participate.
Parents of sampled children will
complete surveys on the Web or by
telephone about their children and
family background. Head Start teachers
will rate each sampled child
(approximately 10 children per
classroom) using the Web or paper-and
pencil forms. These activities will occur
a second time in spring 2020. When the
FACES 2019 program sample size
increases to 180 programs in the spring,
the methods of data collection for this
phase will feature classroom sampling
and site visitors conducting
observations of the quality of
classrooms. Head Start program
directors, center directors, and teachers
will complete surveys about themselves
and the services and instruction at Head
Start. The purpose of the FACES data
collection is to support the 2007

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Similar to FACES 2014-2018, in 2019, two
parallel studies will commence. FACES 2019 focuses on Head Start
Regions I through X (which are geographically based); AI/AN (American
Indian and Alaska Native) FACES 2019 focuses on Region XI (which funds
Head Start programs that serve federally recognized American Indian and
Alaska Native tribes). Both studies will provide data on a set of key
indicators for Head Start programs. In fall 2019 and spring 2020, FACES
will assess the school readiness skills of 2,400 Head Start children in
Regions I-X (FACES 2019) and 800 children in Region XI (AI/AN FACES
2019), survey their parents, and ask their Head Start teachers to rate
children's social and emotional skills. This sample will be drawn from
60 programs in Regions I-X and 22 programs in Region XI. In spring
2020, classroom observations of sampled programs will occur. In Regions
I-X, the number of programs will increase from the 60 that are used to
collect data on children's school readiness outcomes to 180 for the
purpose of conducting observations in 720 Head Start classrooms. In
Region XI, the program sample will remain at 22, and approximately 80
Head Start classroom observations will take place. Program director,
center director, and teacher surveys will also be conducted in spring
2020 in Regions I-XI. In spring 2022, program level data collection
will be repeated in Regions I-X only. FACES 2019 also features a ``Core
Plus'' design, with the above activities reflecting the Core data, with
the potential of ``Plus'' studies to inform emerging programmatic
questions. If any Plus studies are conducted, they will be conducted
within the Core sample and will be included in a future Federal
Register notice.
Previous Federal Register notices provided the opportunity for
public comment on the proposed Head Start program recruitment and
center selection process (FR V.82, pg. 48819 10/20/2017; FR V.83, pg.
7480 02/21/2018). This notice describes the planned data collection
activities for the FACES 2019 and AI/AN FACES 2019 data collection.
Data collection activities include classroom and child sampling
information collection, direct child assessments, parent surveys,
teacher child reports, and staff surveys.
Sampling of children and classrooms for FACES starts with site
visits to 157 Head Start centers (120 for FACES 2019 and 37 for AI/AN
FACES 2019) in fall 2019. Field enrollment specialists (FES) will
request a list of all Head Start-funded classrooms from Head Start
staff. Next, for each selected classroom, the FES will request
enrollment information for each child enrolled. Data collection will
then start with site visits in fall 2019 to 82 Head Start programs (60

school readiness skills of 3,200 children (2,400 for FACES 2019 and 800
