CHAPTER XIII--OFFICE OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT SERVICES, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH 
                           AND HUMAN SERVICES
 
PART 1302_POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR SELECTION, INITIAL FUNDING, AND 
 
                            Subpart A_General
 
Sec.  1302.1  Purpose and scope.


    The purpose of this part is to set forth policies and procedures for 
the selection, initial funding and refunding of Head Start grantees and 
for the selection of replacement grantees in the event of the voluntary 
or involuntary termination, or denial of refunding, of Head Start 
programs. It particularly provides for consideration of the need for 
selection of a replacement grantee where the continuing eligibility 
(legal status) and fiscal capability (financial viability) of a grantee 
to operate a Head Start program is cast in doubt by the cessation of 
funding under section 519 of the Act or by the occurrence of some other 
major change. It is intended that Head Start programs be administered 
effectively and responsibly; that applicants to administer programs 
receive fair and equitable consideration; and that the legal rights of 
current Head Start grantees be fully protected.
