Abstract:
Sections 641, 641A (codified at 45 CFR 1301 to 1305), 642 to 645A, 648A, 653 to 657A of the Head Start Act (the Act) prescribes requirements eligible entities must meet in order to receive funding under the Act. Applicants are required to demonstrate that they are or will meet Head Start requirements when submitting applications for funding under the Act. This request is for an extension with changes. The changes include additional system infrastructure for grantees applying for funds specifically related to facilities which includes a document repository for uploading supporting documentation into the system. The changes made do not impose new information collection requirements since grant recipients were already required to provide this documentation to apply for funding related to facilities as part of meeting federal requirements and the changes only provide a better structure to submit such information.
