    Title: Head Start Program Grant Application and Budget Instrument.
    OMB No.: 0970-0207.
    Description: The Head Start Bureau is proposing to renew, without 
changes, the Head Start Grant Application and Budget Instrument, which 
standardizes the grant application information that is requested from 
all Head Start and Early Head Start grantees applying for continuation 
grants. The application and budget forms are available on a data 
diskette and on the Web at http://www.acfgabi.com. Completed 
applications can be transmitted electronically to Regional and Central 
Offices. The Administration on Children, Youth and Families believes 
that this application document makes the process of applying for Head 
Start program grants more efficient for applicants.
    Respondents: Head Start and Early Head Start grantees.
