    Title: Head Start Eligibility Verification.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The requirements for establishing proof of eligibility 
for the enrollment of children in Head Start programs are documented in 
45 CFR 1305.4(e). Each child's record must include a signed document by 
an employee identifying those documents which were reviewed to 
determine eligibility. Presently there is no uniform document which the 
employee must sign. This form will be used to facilitate an efficient 
and accurate determination of childrens' eligibility for Head Start 
enrollment.
    Respondents: Head Start grantees.
