OMB No.: 0980–0162.

Description: A Developmental

Disabilities Council State Plan is

required by federal statute. Each State

used (1) by the Council as a planning

document; (2) by the citizenry of the

State as a mechanism for commenting

on the plans of the Council; and (3) by

the Department as a stewardship tool,

for ensuring compliance with the

Developmental Disabilities Assistance

and Bill of Rights Act and as one basis

for providing technical assistance (e.g.,

during site visits).

Respondents: State Government.

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

Title: Head Start Family and Child

Experiences Survey (FACES).

OMB No.: Revision of a currently

approved collection (OMB No. 0970–

0151).

Description: The Administration on

Children, Youth and Families (ACYF),

Administration for Children and

Families (ACF) of the Department of

Health and Human Services (DHHS) is

requesting comments on plans to extend

the Head Start Family and Child

Experiences Survey (FACES). This

study is being conducted under contract

with Westat, Inc. (with Ellsworth

Associates and the CDM Group as their

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 206 / Tuesday, October 24, 2000 / Notices 63603

subcontractors) (#105–96–1912) to

collect information on Head Start

performance measures. This revision is

intended to extend the current design to

a national probability sample of 43

additional Head Start programs in order

to ascertain what progress has been

made since 1997 in meeting Head Start

program performance goals.

FACES currently involves seven

phases of data collection. The first

phase was a Spring 1997 Field test in

which approximately 2400 parents and

children were studied in a nationally

stratified random sample of 40 Head

Start programs. The second and third

phases occurred in Fall 1997 (Wave 1)

and Spring 1998 (Wave 2) when data

were collected on a sample of 3200

children and families in the same 40

programs. Spring 1998 data collection

included assessments of both Head Start

children completing kindergarten

(kindergarten field test) as well as

interviews with their parents and

ratings by their kindergarten teachers. In

the fourth and fifth phases, follow-up

continued for a second program year,

plus a kindergarten follow-up. The sixth

and seventh waves of data collection

involve data collection in spring of the

first-grade year for both cohorts of

children, those completing kindergarten

in spring 1999, and those completing

kindergarten in spring 2000. The current

plan is to extend data collection to a

new cohort of 2825 children and

families in a new sample of 43 Head

Start programs.

This schedule of data collection is

necessitated by the mandates of the

Government Performance and Results

Act (GPRA) of 1993 (Pub. L. 103–62),

which requires that the Head Start

Bureau move expeditiously toward

development and testing of Head Start

Performance Measures, and by the 1994

reauthorization of Head Start (Head

Start Act, as amended, May 18, 1994,

Section 649(d)), which requires periodic

assessments of Head Start’s quality and

effectiveness.

Respondents: Federal Government,

Individuals or Households, and Not-forprofit institutions.
