Start services received by the children and families enrolled in Head 
Start programs. The information collected in the PIR is used to inform 
the public about these programs, to make periodic reports to Congress

Head Start Act, and to assist the administration and training/technical 
assistance of Head Start programs.
    Respondents: Head Start and Early Head Start program grant 
recipients.
