SUMMARY: The Office of Head Start (OHS), Administration for Children
and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is
proposing to collect data for the American Indian and Alaska Natives
(AIAN) Facility Condition, Location, and Ownership Survey. This survey
fulfills a statutory requirement and is conducted every 5 years. The
previous survey used for this purpose was approved under Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) #: 0970-0534; this request will be
submitted under the same OMB number.
DATES: Comments due September 15, 2025. 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

Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The AIAN Facility Survey is conducted every 5 years in
accordance with section 650(b) of the Head Start Act. The most recent
survey was approved under OMB #0970-0534 to fulfill the 2020 statutory
requirement. This request will be submitted to OMB under the same
number as a reinstatement with changes.
The purpose of the survey is to collect current data on the
condition, location, and ownership of facilities used by AIAN Head
Start programs. The results inform the 2025 Report to Congress and
support ongoing policy, funding, and technical assistance decisions.
For the 2025 cycle, updates have been made to reflect lessons learned
from the 2020 survey and feedback from OHS staff and partners. Changes
include more detailed questions on facility safety (e.g., lead testing,
pest control, disaster impact), clearer definitions of facility
conditions, and expanded items on funding sources and barriers. These
revisions aim to strengthen data quality and ensure the survey captures
the full scope of infrastructure challenges and needs across AIAN
programs.
Respondents: AIAN Early Head Start and Head Start Preschool
grantees.
Annual Burden Estimates
Grant recipients will complete the survey for each facility they
operate, which based on current grant recipient information is an
average of 3.5 responses per respondent. Data collection is expected to
take place following OMB approval over a period of about 6 weeks.
