Office of Head Start,
Administration for Children and
AGENCY:
Families, Department of Health and
Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a 3-year extension of the
information collection requirements
under the Head Start Program
Performance Standards (Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) #0970–
0148, expiration August 31, 2024). At
this time, there are no changes to the
approved recordkeeping requirements
under this OMB number. However, a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on
Supporting the Head Start Workforce
and Consistent Quality Programming
was published and if any of the
proposed changes are made final, this
information collection will be updated
to reflect those changes.
DATES: Comments due within 60 days of
publication. In compliance with the
requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting
public comment on the specific aspects
of the information collection described
above.
ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the
proposed collection of information and
submit comments by emailing
infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all
requests by the title of the information
collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Section 641A of the Head
Start Act, 42 U.S.C. 9836A, directs the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
SUMMARY:
Services (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.’’
This information collection is entirely
record keeping 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 currently no
changes to the record keeping
requirements. However, if any proposed
changes from the Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking on Supporting the Head
Start Workforce and Consistent Quality
Programming (88 FR 80818), this
information collection will be updated
to reflect those changes.
Respondents: Head Start grant
recipients. Depending on the standard,
the calculated burden hours is based on
the individual enrollee, family, grant,
program, or staff. In a few cases, only a
proportion of one of these may apply.

amended on March 15, 2023, that there
is a public health emergency, or a
significant potential for a public health
emergency, that affects, or has a
significant potential to affect, national
security or the health and security of
U.S. citizens living abroad and that
involves the virus that causes COVID–
19, and the subsequent declarations on
February 4, 2020, March 2, 2020, and
March 24, 2020, that circumstances
exist justifying the authorization of
emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for
detection and/or diagnosis of the virus
that causes COVID–19, personal
respiratory protective devices, and
medical devices, including alternative
products used as medical devices,
respectively, subject to the terms of any
authorization issued under the FD&C
Act. These Authorizations, which
include an explanation of the reasons
for issuance, are listed in this document,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 564 of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 360bbb–3) allows FDA to
strengthen the public health protections
against biological, chemical,
radiological, or nuclear agent or agents.
Among other things, section 564 of the
FD&C Act allows FDA to authorize the
use of an unapproved medical product
or an unapproved use of an approved
medical product in certain situations.
With this EUA authority, FDA can help
ensure that medical countermeasures
may be used in emergencies to diagnose,
treat, or prevent serious or lifethreatening diseases or conditions
caused by a biological, chemical,
radiological, or nuclear agent or agents
when there are no adequate, approved,
and available alternatives.
Section 564(b)(1) of the FD&C Act
provides that, before an EUA may be
issued, the Secretary of HHS must
declare that circumstances exist
justifying the authorization based on
one of the following grounds: (1) a
determination by the Secretary of
Homeland Security that there is a
domestic emergency, or a significant
potential for a domestic emergency,
involving a heightened risk of attack
with a biological, chemical, radiological,
or nuclear agent or agents; (2) a
determination by the Secretary of
Defense that there is a military
emergency, or a significant potential for
