The information
collection requirements associated with this proposed rule are not
approved at this time. ACF will evaluate public comments on these
collections and resubmit at the final rule stage. ACF will (1)
provide the "IM," not an FR citation, as a collection instrument
because the IM contains reporting instructions to respondents; and
(2) in the supporting statement (at #3), describe how and by whom
the HSES will be used to report this information. If the HSES will
be used by all respondents, ACF may wish to consider submitting
this ICR as a revision to the existing HSES collection.

The Head Start Act establishes that
grantees will be awarded grant funds for five year periods and only
grantees delivering high quality services may be designated to
continue to receive funding under the Act. The proposed rule
establishes the criteria that the Office of Head Start will
consider and whether to provide a subsequent award to an incumbent
non competitively or to determine competitively the best provider
of services in the community. The information being collected will
be used to determine if an incumbent Head Start and Early Head
Start grantee will receive funding based on providing high quality
services.
