Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

    Title: Extension to HS Transportation Requirement.
    OMB No.: 0970-0260.
    Description: The Office of Head Start is proposing to renew 
authority to collect information regarding the Head Start 
transportation requirement without changes. The transportation 
requirement provides the requirement that each child be seated in a 
child restraint system while the vehicle is in motion, and the 
requirement that each bus have at least one bus monitor on board at all 
times. Waivers would be granted when the Head Start or Early Head Start 
grantee demonstrates that compliance with the requirement(s) for which 
the waiver is being sought will result in a significant disruption to 
the Head Start program or the Early Head Start program and that waiving 
the requirement(s) is in the best interest of the children involved.
    Respondents: Head Start and Early Head Start program grants 
recipients.
