Abstract: Section 650 of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9846) requires that the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) prepare and submit a report to the Congress at least once during every 2-year period. Section 641A of the Head Start Act of 2007 (42 U.S.C. 9836A) requires that the Office of Head Start (OHS) collect enrollment information from grantees on a monthly basis to determine whether grantees maintain their funded enrollment. Section 644 of the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C. 9839) requires each Head Start Agency to make available to the public a report published at least once in each fiscal year. OHS is requesting an extension, with changes, of the Head Start Program Information Report information collection authority. The following instruments are included in this information collection: (1) the Program Information Report Form (PIR), (2) monthly enrollment, (3) contacts, and (4) center locations. 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 (ACF) published a Final Rule on Sept. 1, 2016 revising the HSPPS. Changes were made to the PIR and monthly enrollment instruments and these changes are primarily to align with the revised Head Start Program Performance Standards. The revised HSPPS are streamlined, simplified, and reorganized to improve clarity and transparency to support high-quality program delivery and minimize administrative burden. As such, changes to the PIR were made for streamlining, improving clarity, and reducing administrative burden where possible.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: There is an adjustment due to the increase in the annual number of respondents. The annualized cost in section A12 was updated per new OMB guidance. The burden hours were reduced greatly based on feedback from grantees. The actual burden for submitting the PIR is very low (now estimated at 1 hour) since their record-keeping systems are designed to automatically submit the PIR following validation checks.
