Proposed Projects

    Title: Head Start Grant Application and Budget Instruments.
    OMB No.: 0970-0207.
    Description: The Office of Head Start is proposing to renew, 
without changes, the Head Start Grant Application and Budget 
Instrument, which grantees use to provide information that is requested 
from all Head Start and Early Head Start grantees applying for 
continuation grants. The application and budget forms are available in 
the Head Start Enterprise System (HSES), a secure web-based system, 
which transmits completed applications to Regional and Central Offices. 
The Administration for Children and Families believes that this 
application instrument has made the process of applying for a Head 
Start continuation grant more efficient for applicants.
    Respondents: Head Start and Early Head Start grantees.
