Abstract: This notice of proposed rulemaking seeks to make permanent the opportunity for Head Start grantees to request a waiver of the Head Start Transportation Requirements related to child restraint systems and bus monitors. Head Start grantees were given the opportunity to request a waiver of these requirements through P.L. 109-149 when they could show that compliance with these requirements would result in a significant disruption to the program and the agency could demonstrate that waiving such requirements is in the best interest of the children involved.
