Agency Information Collection Under OMB Review

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

and Families (ACF) is requesting clearance from the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for instruments to be used to conduct a 
national descriptive study of the characteristics of families served by 
Head Start Migrant Programs. This study will provide essential 
descriptive data on the characteristics of the families presently being 
served by Migrant Head Start Programs; the availability and 
coordination of services related to serving Head Start migrant 
families; and a national estimate of the number of children of migrant 
farmworkers who are eligible for Head Start services.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the information collection may be obtained from 
Edward E. Saunders of the Office of Information Systems Management, 
ACF, by calling (202) 205-7921.
    Written comments and questions regarding this information 
collection should be sent directly to: Laura Oliven, OMB Desk Officer

Information on Document

    Title: Descriptive Study of the Characteristics of Families Served 
by Head Start Migrant Programs.
    OMB No.: New request.
    Description: The Migrant Head Start Program currently funds 26 
programs in 18 States and serves a unique population which requires a 
service delivery system different in some respects from that utilized 
by regular Head Start programs. In addition to poverty and seasonal 
employment, migrant families often lack education, adequate housing, 
transportation, health care, child and family services and social, 
nutritional and legal services. Within this unique context, and keeping 
the mobility factor in mind, Migrant Head Start grantees have developed 
creative program designs (full-day center based, home-based, and family 
day care) and diverse service delivery models to meet the multiple 
needs of low-income migrant families.
    This descriptive study is intended to: (1) Provide information on 
the characteristics of the families presently being served by Migrant 
Head Start programs; (2) document availability and coordination of 
services related to serving Head Start migrant families; and (3) 
provide a national estimate of the number of children of migrant 
farmworkers who are eligible for Head Start services. The information 
will be used by the Administration on Children, Youth and Families to 
determine program policies as the Head Start Program continues to 
expand.
