Abstract: This request is for non-substantive changes to the Head Start Grant Application. These are COVID-19 related changes. Sections 641, 642, 643, and 644 of the Head Start Act prescribes requirements Head Start program applicants must meet and the services applicants must provide in order to be eligible to receive funding under the Head Start Act. Applicants are required to demonstrate that they are meeting Head Start requirements when submitting applications for continued funding. The Office of Head Start is requesting an extension, with changes, of the Head Start Grant Application information collection which grantees use to provide information that is requested from all Head Start and Early Head Start grantees applying for their funding. Public Law 110-134, Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act of 2007, reauthorized the Head Start program and Congress called for a review and revision of the Head Start Program Performance Standards (HSPPS). The Administration for Children and Families published a Final Rule on Sept. 1, 2016 revising the HSPPS. Changes to this information collection are minor and consist of updated fields and guidance in the Head Start Enterprise System to accommodate submission of documentation that resulted from changes to the HSPPS.
