Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request


    Title: Head Start Fellows Program.
    OMB No.: 0970-0140.
    Description: Public Law 103-252, the Human Services Amendments of 
1994, amended the Head Start Act (the Act) to authorize the creation of 
a Head Start Fellows Program to support the professional development of 
individuals working in the fields of child development and family 
services. The Act was most recently reauthorized through fiscal year 
2003, by the Coats Human Services Amendments of 1998, Public Law 105-
285.
    Head Start Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis to 
individuals (other than Federal employees) selected from among 
applicants who are working in the fields of child development and 
children and family services. Information collected from the 
applications is used to ensure that individuals selected to be Head 
Start Fellows have the appropriate experience/skills, and that the 
training developed for them and the work assigned to them will enhance 
their ability to make significant contributions to the fields of child 
development and family services. The information collected is used by 
program staff and policy makers at the Federal level to make judgments 
on the progress and needs of the program.
    Respondents: Individuals who work in local Head Start programs or 
fields of child development and children and family services.
