The Office Head Start (OHS),
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), is
requesting a 3-year extension of the
information collection requirements
under the Head Start Program
Performance Standards (OMB #0970–
0148). There are no changes to the
information collection.
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of
publication. OMB must make a decision
about 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.
SUMMARY:
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 641A of the Head
Start Act, 42 U.S.C. 9836A, directs HHS
to develop ‘‘scientifically based and
developmentally appropriate education
performance standards related to school
readiness’’ and ‘‘ensure that any such
revisions in the standards do not result
in the elimination of or any reduction in
quality, scope, or types of health,
educational, parental involvement,
nutritional, social, or other services.’’
The Office of Head Start (OHS)
announced in the Federal Register in
2016 the first comprehensive revision of
the Head Start Program Performance
Standards (HSPPS) since their original
release in 1975. This information
collection was approved alongside the
final rule for the HSPPS.
This information collection is entirely
recordkeeping and does not contain any
standardized instruments to provide
flexibility for local programs. These
records are intended to act as a tool for
grantees and delegate agencies to be
used in their day-to-day operations. For
example, this includes the requirement
that programs maintain a waiting list of
eligible families. There are no changes
to the record keeping requirements.
Respondents: Head Start Grantees.
Depending on the standard, the
calculated burden hours is based on the
individual enrollee (1,054,720), family
(956,120), program (3,020), or staff
(265,030). In a few cases, only a
proportion of one of these may apply.
