DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Submission for OMB Review; Head Start Program Performance
Standards (OMB #0970-0148)
AGENCY: Office of Head Start, Administration for Children and Families,
HHS.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 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.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. 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.
