SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Head Start

and Early Head Start are authorized

under the Head Start Act (42 U.S.C.

9801 et seq.). It is a national program

providing comprehensive

developmental services to low-income

preschool children, primarily age three

to age of compulsory school attendance,

and their families. To help enrolled

children achieve their full potential,

Head Start programs provide

comprehensive health, nutritional,

educational, social and 500 Head Start

program grantees.

To improve the availability and

quality of child care centers, the Head

Start Act was amended in 1992 and

again in 1994 authorizing the use of

federal financial assistance to make

payments for capital expenditures, such

as expenditures for the purchase,

construction and major renovations of

Head Start and Early Head Start

facilities. This authority is found in

Section 644 (f) and (g) of the Head Start

Act.

In conformance with the Revised

General Administration Manual, HHS

Part 30, Environmental Protection, the

Administration for Children and

Families has conducted a Programmatic

Environmental Assessment to determine

if this federally funded activity would

have a significant impact on the

environment.
