Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects:
    Title: Head Start Grant Application and Budget Instruments.
    OMB No.: 0970-0207.
    Description: The Office of Head Start 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 
in a password-protected, Web-based system. Completed applications can 
be transmitted electronically to Regional and Central Offices. The 
Administration for Children and Families believes that this application 
form makes the process of applying for Head Start program grants more 
efficient for applicants.
    Respondents: Head Start and Early Head Start grantees.
