On March 17, 2023, we received OMB
approval to conduct a descriptive case study for the Culture of
Continuous Learning Project: Case Study (OMB #0970-0605). The
purpose of this project is to document the factors that contribute
to the feasibility of implementing the Breakthrough Series
Collaborative (BSC) quality improvement methodology in Head Start
and child care centers. The OMB-approved information collection
includes: (1) implementation materials (e.g., worksheets); (2) key
informant interviews; (3) focus groups with key staff, teachers,
and parents; and (4) surveys with administrators, teachers, staff,
and parents. In January 2025, the current Administration released
multiple Executive Orders (EO) and memoranda requiring updates to
information collections that request gender and/or gender identity,
to only request “Sex” with the options Male/Female. Additionally,
presidential actions focused on the removal of diversity, equity,
and inclusion (DEI)-specific activities. To be responsive to the
new administration, ACF is submitting change requests for a number
of implicated information collections. This request is specific to
updates related to a recent presidential action, as detailed in the
accompanying Justification for a NonSubstantive Change
Memo.
