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.
