Title: Head Start Program Information Report.
OMB No.: 0970-0427.
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, with changes, authority to collect
information using the Head Start Program Information Report (PIR),
monthly enrollment, contacts, and center locations. All information is
collected electronically through the Head Start Enterprise System
(HSES). The PIR provides information about Head Start and Early Head
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
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. Other program data is used to track
enrollment, contact the program, provide a locator for parents to find
a nearby program, and for oversight.
Respondents: Head Start and Early Head Start program grant
recipients.
