Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Head Start Program 
Grant Application and Budget Instrument

    Description: The Head Start Bureau is proposing to renew, without 
changes, the Head Start Grant Application and Budget Instrument, which 
standardizes the grant application information that is requested from 
all Head Start and Early Head Start grantees applying for continuation 
grants. The application and budget forms are available on a data 
diskette and on the web at http://www.acfgabi.com. Completed applications can 

be transmitted electronically to Regional and Central Offices. The 
Administration on Children, Youth and Families believes that this 
application document makes the process of applying for Head Start 
program grants more efficient for applicants.
    Respondents: Head Start and Early Head Start grantees.
