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, on the date of application, in local Head 
Start programs or otherwise working in the fields of child development 
and children and family services. The 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 judgements 
on the progress and needs of the program.
    Respondents: Individuals or Households.
