requirements of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
ACF is soliciting public comment on the
specific aspects of the information

ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov. All
requests should be identified by the title

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The purposes of the data
collection for Head Start Connects are to
build knowledge about how Head Start
programs (Head Start or Early Head
Start grantees, delegate agencies, and

staff) coordinate family support services
for parents/guardians; the
characteristics of Head Start programs
and staff members involved in family
support services coordination; the job
characteristics, work activities, and
well-being of Head Start family support
services staff members; and how Head
Start programs can improve
coordination of family support services.
The data collection will build on
information collected previously
through case studies at six Head Start
sites (OMB #0970–0538). Proposed data
collection activities include three
components. First, a brief web-based
survey of a nationally representative
sample of program directors will collect
program information, including contact
information for family and community
partnerships managers and for family
support services staff members needed
for other data collection components.
Second, an in-depth web-based survey
of family and community partnerships
managers identified by program
directors will collect information about
Head Start programs’ structures and
services for providing supports to
parents and families; and the
demographic characteristics,
experiences, job characteristics, and
well-being of managers who supervise
family support services staff members.
Third, three data collection activities
(referred to as Parts A, B, and C) will
gather information from family support
services staff members. Part A, an indepth web-based survey, will gather
information about the structures and
services that Head Start programs have
for providing supports to parents and
families; how family support services
staff members reach out to and engage
families in family support services; how
family support services staff members
work with families; and the
demographic characteristics,
experiences, job characteristics, and
well-being of staff members who
provide family support services. Part B,
brief web-based surveys, will
supplement Part A and will collect
additional information about specific
daily work activities and well-being,
providing more fine-grained detail about
workdays of family support services
staff members. Part C, focus groups, will
be conducted with a sample of family
support services staff to collect
information about innovations and ideas
for improving how Head Start programs
coordinate and individualize family
support services.
Respondents: Head Start program
directors, Head Start family and
community partnerships managers, and
Head Start family support services staff
members.
