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 grant recipients on a monthly basis to determine whether grant recipients 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 a revision of the Head Start Program Information Report information collection. The following instruments are included in this information collection: (1) the Program Information Report Form (PIR), (2) monthly enrollment, and (3) center locations and contacts. This revision request includes the following updates: • New questions on the PIR to collect information on primary reasons children with an IEP or IFSP did not receive services, as well as the number of children who had a 504 Plan. • Minor changes to both the PIR and monthly enrollment reporting instruments for clarification purposes. These changes were made to improve the instruments for clarification purposes.
