Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Purchase, Construction and Major Renovation of Head Start 
Facilities.
    OMB No.: 0970-0193.
    Description: The Office of Head Start within the Administration for 
Children and Families, United States Department of Health and Human 
Services, is proposing to renew authority to collect information on 
funding for the purchase, construction or renovation of facilities. All 
information is collected electronically through the Head Start 
Enterprise System (HSES). The information required is in conformance 
with Section 644 (f) and (g) of the Act. Federal funding officials use 
the information to determine that the proposed purchase has resulted in 
savings when compared to the costs that would be incurred to acquire 
the use of an alternative facility, or that the lack of alternative 
facilities will prevent, or would have prevented, the operation of the 
program. The rule further describes the assurances which are necessary 
to protect the Federal interest in real property and the conditions 
under which federal interest may be subordinated and protected when 
grantees make use of debt instruments when purchasing facilities. The 
information is used by funding officials to determine if grantee's 
arrangements adequately conform to other applicable statutes which 
apply to the expenditure of public funds for the purchase of real 
property.
    Respondents: Head Start and Early Head Start program grant 
recipients.
