    OMB No.: 0970-0427.
    Description: The Office of Head Start within the Administration for

Services, is proposing to renew, without changes, authority to collect

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 about the status of children in Head Start programs 
as required by the 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.
