                     Tracking of Participants in the Head Start Impact Study. *OMB No.:*
                     0970-0229. *Description:*
                     The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will collect follow-up information from children and families in the Head Start Impact Study. In anticipation of conducting a future follow-up for the study, ACF will collect information necessary to identify respondents' current location and follow-up with respondents in the future. The Head Start Impact Study is a longitudinal study involving 4,667 first time enrolled three- and four-year-old preschool children across 84 nationally representative grantee/delegate agencies. Participants have been randomly assigned to either a Head Start group or a control group. Data collection for the study began in fall of 2002 and has been extended through late spring 2008 to include the participants' 3rd grade year. Tracking of the participants has continued every spring beginning in 2009 and ending in 2011. ACF will continue to examine outcomes for the sample through the spring of the participant's 12th grade year. To maintain adequate sample size, telephone interviews will be conducted in order to update the respondent's location and contact information. This information will be collected from 
                    ( print page 8879)
                    parents or guardians in the spring of 2012, 2013, 2014 2015, and 2016. This request package covers three years of information collection, from 2012 to 2014. *Respondents:*
