Proposed Information Collection Activity; Head Start Grant Application (Office of Management and Budget #0970-0207)
AGENCY:
Office of Head Start, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION:
Request for public comments.
SUMMARY:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is requesting a 3-year extension of the Grant Application Instrument and Instructions (Office of Management and Budget #0970-0207, expiration June 30, 2025). The updated grant application reduces the amount of documentation required from grant recipients, both in the baseline application and the continuation application, by reducing the number of required documents to support the application and reducing the amount of required information in the program and budget justification narrative. The goal of these changes is to reduce grant recipient burden.
DATES:
Comments due July 14, 2025. In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information collection described above.
ADDRESSES:
You can obtain copies of the proposed collection of information and submit comments by emailing infocollection@acf.hhs.gov. Identify all requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: To receive Head Start funding, Head Start grant recipients must apply for such funds through this information collection. The information submitted by applicants assist program and grant officials in determining whether the applicant meets the requirements for funding under the Act including any requirements specified in annual appropriations by Congress. The updated grant application reduces the amount of documentation required from grant recipients, both in the baseline application and the continuation application, by reducing the number of required documents to support the application and reducing the amount of required information in the program and budget justification narrative. The goal of these changes is to reduce grant recipient burden, and the burden estimates below have been updated to reflect this.

| Instrument | Total number of respondents | Annual number of responses per respondent | Average burden hours per response | Annual burden hours |
