Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Information Collection Items in the Head Start Performance 
Standards (current rule).
    OMB No.: 0970-0148.
    Description: The Head Start Performance Standards are regulations 
which establish standards for Head Start grantee and delegate agencies 
to follow to administer quality programs as required by law. Local 
programs are monitored for compliance with these standards. The 
information collection aspects of the Performance Standards are one 
part of the many actions that local agencies must take to ensure they 
administer quality programs. Almost all these information collection 
items are record keeping requirements such as recording: nutrition 
assessment data, family Partnership development, and regular volunteer 
screening for tuberculosis. These records are intended to act as a 
management tool for grantees to use in their daily operations. Such 
records are maintained by the grantees and are not information items 
which must be collected and then forwarded to he Federal government.
    Respondents: Head Start grantee and delegate agencies
