        Title: A Descriptive Study of Head Start Bilingual and 
    Multicultural Program Services.
        OMB No. 0980-New OMB Request.
        Description: The Administration on Children, Youth and Families 
    (ACYF) will conduct A Descriptive Study of Head Start Bilingual and 
    Multicultural Program Services. The study will include a national 
    survey of Head Start programs and site visits to 16 Head Start 
    innovative programs. During Phase I of the study, approximately 2,006 
    Head Start programs will be surveys, of which approximately 1,806 will 
    receive Survey One and 200 will receive Survey Two. Survey One will 
    collect the following data: The range of languages represented in the 
    Head Start population and the number of children in each linguistic 
    group; the range and number of staff that speak languages other than 
    English and the ethnicities represented by staff; information on 
    materials available in other languages; and brief descriptions of 
    innovative strategies.
        Survey Two will gather more in-depth information of the needs of 
    the cultural and linguistically diverse Head Start population and the 
    Strategies employed to provide those services. In addition to the 
    questions in Survey One, respondents are asked to describe recruiting 
    strategies they employ to reach minority families, staff training, 
    curricula, and transition services. Specific information on each Head 
    Start component area (education, social services, health and nutrition, 
    and parent involvement) is also requested for each cultural/linguistic 
    group.
        Annual Number of Respondents: 2,006.
        Annual Frequency: 1.
        Average Burden Hours Per Response: 2-4.
        Total Burden Hours: 4,412.
