from private sources or other Federal, State, or local programs;

and

(3) the amount of the loan, together with other funds

available, is adequate to assure completion of the project or

Loans made by the Secretary pursuant to this section shall bear

interest at a rate not less than a rate determined by the Secretary

of the Treasury taking into consideration the average market yield

on outstanding Treasury obligations of comparable maturity, plus

such additional charge, if any, toward covering other costs of the

program as the Secretary of Health and Human Services may determine

to be consistent with its purposes, except that, for the 5 years

following the date in which funds are initially available to the

borrower, the rate of interest shall be set at a rate considered

appropriate by the Secretary in light of the particular needs of

the borrower, which rate shall not be lower than 1 percent. All

such loans shall be repayable within a period of not more than 30

years.

determine to be necessary or appropriate, consistent with the

purposes of this section.

(c) Establishment, funding, etc.

under this part, there shall be established a Development Loan Fund

consisting of two separate accounts, one of which shall be a

revolving fund called the Rural Development Loan Fund and the other

Loan Fund. The capital of each such revolving fund shall remain

available until expended.

(2) The Rural Development Loan Fund shall consist of the

remaining funds provided for in part A of title III of the Economic

Opportunity Act of 1964 [42 U.S.C. 2841 et seq.], as in effect on

September 19, 1972, and such amounts as may be deposited in such

fund by the Secretary out of funds made available from

Administration,(!1) or the Rural Development Administration in

administering such fund.

(3) The Community Development Loan Fund shall consist of such

amounts as may be deposited in such fund by the Secretary out of

Community Development Loan Fund in any fiscal year in which the

Secretary has made available for grants to community development

corporations under this subchapter not less than $60,000,000 out of

funds made available from appropriations for purposes of carrying

with non-English language background and children with

disabilities, when appropriate.

(iii) Ensuring that salary levels and benefits are adequate to

attract and retain qualified staff for such programs.

(iv) Using salary increases to improve staff qualifications,

programs as the Secretary may designate.

(C) Quality improvement funds shall be used to carry out any or

all of the following activities:

requirements set forth in section 9843a(a) of this title. The

expenditure of funds under this clause shall be subject to

section 9848 of this title. Preferences in awarding salary

increases, in excess of cost-of-living allowances, with such

funds shall be granted to classroom teachers and staff who obtain

additional training or education related to their

responsibilities as employees of a Head Start program.

(II) If a Head Start agency certifies to the Secretary for such

fiscal year that part of the funds set aside under subclause (I)

wages because of the operation of section 9848 of this title,

then such agency may expend such part for any of the uses

specified in this subparagraph (other than wages).

(III) From the remainder of the amount reserved under this

paragraph (after the Secretary carries out subclause (I)), the

Secretary shall carry out any or all of the activities described

in clauses (ii) through (vii), placing the highest priority on

the activities described in clause (ii).

(ii) To train classroom teachers and other staff to meet the

including children from dysfunctional families, children who

experience chronic violence in their communities, and children

who experience substance abuse in their families.

(vi) Such other activities as the Secretary may designate.

(D)(i) Funds reserved under subparagraph (A) shall be allotted by

the Secretary as follows:

(I) 80 percent of such funds shall be allotted among the States

in the same proportion as the Secretary allots funds among the

States under paragraph (4) for the respective fiscal year.

(II) 20 percent of such funds shall be allotted among the

States, geographical areas specified in subsection (a)(2)(B) of

this section and Indian Head Start programs and migrant and

seasonal Head Start programs, and used to make grants to Head

Start agencies, at the discretion of the Secretary.

(ii) Funds allotted under clause (i) shall be used by the

Secretary to make grants to Head Start agencies that receive grants

from funds allotted under paragraph (4) for such fiscal year, in

such amounts as the Secretary considers to be appropriate, for

expenditure for activities specified in subparagraph (C).

(iii) Funds received under this subparagraph shall be used to

supplement, not to supplant, funds received under paragraph (2) or

(4).

(4) Subject to section 9834(b) of this title, the Secretary shall

allot the remaining amounts appropriated in each fiscal year among

the States, in accordance with latest satisfactory data so that -

(B) any amount available after all allotments are made under

subparagraph (A) for such fiscal year shall be distributed

proportionately on the basis of the number of children less than

5 years of age from families whose income is below the poverty

line.

For purposes of this paragraph, for each fiscal year the Secretary

shall use the most recent data available on the number of children

less than 5 years of age from families whose income is below the

poverty line, as published by the Department of Commerce, unless

the Secretary and the Secretary of Commerce determine that use of

the most recent data available would be inappropriate or

unreliable. If the Secretary and the Secretary of Commerce

determine that some or all of the data referred to in this

paragraph are inappropriate or unreliable, the Secretaries shall

issue a report setting forth their reasons in detail.

(5)(A) From amounts reserved and allotted pursuant to paragraph

(4), the Secretary shall reserve such sums as may be necessary to

award the collaboration grants described in subparagraphs (B) and

(D).

(B) From the reserved sums, the Secretary may award a

collaboration grant to each State to facilitate collaboration

regarding activities carried out in the State under this

subchapter, and other activities carried out in, and by, the State

that are designed to benefit low-income children and families and

to encourage Head Start agencies to collaborate with entities

involved in State and local planning processes (including the State

lead agency administering the financial assistance received under

subchapter II-B of this chapter and the entities providing resource

and referral services in the State) in order to better meet the

needs of low-income children and families.

(C) A State that receives a grant under subparagraph (B) shall -

(i) appoint an individual to serve as a State liaison between -

(I) the appropriate regional office of the Administration for

Children and Families and agencies and individuals carrying out

Head Start programs in the State; and

families;

(ii) involve the State Head Start Association in the selection

of the individual, and involve the association in determinations

relating to the ongoing direction of the collaboration;

(iii) ensure that the individual holds a position with

sufficient authority and access to ensure that the collaboration

described in subparagraph (B) is effective and involves a range

of State agencies;

(iv) ensure that the collaboration described in subparagraph

(B) involves coordination of Head Start services with health

care, welfare, child care, education, and community service

activities, family literacy services, activities relating to

children with disabilities (including coordination of services

Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1431-1445, 1419)), and services for

homeless children;

(v) include representatives of the State Head Start Association

Associations) develop statewide, regional, or local unified plans

for early childhood education and child care that include the

participation of Head Start agencies; and

(ii) to States that engage in other innovative collaborative

initiatives, including plans for collaborative training and

professional development initiatives for child care, early

childhood education and Head Start service managers, providers,

and staff.

(E)(i) The Secretary shall -

(I) review on an ongoing basis evidence of barriers to

effective collaboration between Head Start programs and other

Federal, State, and local child care and early childhood

education programs and resources;

(II) develop initiatives, including providing additional

training and technical assistance and making regulatory changes,

in necessary cases, to eliminate barriers to the collaboration;

and

(III) develop a mechanism to resolve administrative and

programmatic conflicts between programs described in subclause

(I) that would be a barrier to service providers, parents, or

children related to the provision of unified services and the

consolidation of funding for child care services.

(ii) In the case of a collaborative activity funded under this

subchapter and another provision of law providing for Federal child

care or early childhood education, the use of equipment and

nonconsumable supplies purchased with funds made available under

this subchapter or such provision shall not be restricted to

children enrolled or otherwise participating in the program carried

out under that subchapter or provision, during a period in which

the activity is predominantly funded under this subchapter or such

provision.

(F) As used in this paragraph, the term "low-income", used with

respect to children or families, shall not be considered to refer

only to children or families that meet the low-income criteria

prescribed pursuant to section 9840(a)(1)(A) of this title.

(6)(A) From amounts reserved and allotted pursuant to paragraphs

(2) and (4), the Secretary shall use, for grants for programs

described in section 9840a(a) of this title, a portion of the

1999, 8 percent for fiscal year 2000, 9 percent for fiscal year

2001, 10 percent for fiscal year 2002, and 10 percent for fiscal

year 2003, of the amount appropriated pursuant to section 9834(a)

of this title, except as provided in subparagraph (B).

(B)(i) If the Secretary does not submit an interim report on the

preliminary findings of the Early Head Start impact study currently

being conducted by the Secretary (as of October 27, 1998) to the

appropriate committees by June 1, 2001, the amount of the reserved

portion for fiscal year 2002 that exceeds the reserved portion for

fiscal year 2001, if any, shall be used for quality improvement

activities described in subsection (a)(3) of this section and shall

not be used to serve an increased number of eligible children under

section 9840a of this title.

(ii) If the Secretary does not submit a final report on the Early

Head Start impact study to the appropriate committees by June 1,

2002, or if the Secretary finds in the report that there are

substantial deficiencies in the programs carried out under section

9840a of this title, the amount of the reserved portion for fiscal

year 2003 that exceeds the reserved portion for fiscal year 2002,

if any, shall be used for quality improvement activities described

in subsection (a)(3) of this section and shall not be used to serve

an increased number of eligible children under section 9840a of

this title.

(iii) In this subparagraph:

(I) The term "appropriate committees" means the Committee on

Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Appropriations

of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Labor and

Human Resources and the Committee on Appropriations of the

Senate.

(II) The term "reserved portion", used with respect to a fiscal

year, means the amount required to be used in accordance with

subparagraph (A) for that fiscal year.

(C)(i) For any fiscal year for which the Secretary determines

that the amount appropriated under section 9834(a) of this title is

not sufficient to permit the Secretary to reserve the portion

described in subparagraph (A) without reducing the number of

children served by Head Start programs or adversely affecting the

quality of Head Start services, relative to the number of children

served and the quality of the services during the preceding fiscal

year, the Secretary may reduce the percentage of funds required to

be reserved for the portion described in subparagraph (A) for the

fiscal year for which the determination is made, but not below the

percentage required to be so reserved for the preceding fiscal

year.

(ii) For any fiscal year for which the amount appropriated under

section 9834(a) of this title is reduced to a level that requires a

lower amount to be made available under this subchapter to Head

Start agencies and entities described in section 9840a of this

title, relative to the amount made available to the agencies and

entities for the preceding fiscal year, adjusted as described in

paragraph (3)(A)(ii), the Secretary shall proportionately reduce -

(I) the amounts made available to the entities for programs

carried out under section 9840a of this title; and

(II) the amounts made available to Head Start agencies for Head

Start programs.

(7) For purposes of this subsection, the term "State" does not

include Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth

of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of

Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and Palau.

(b) Federal share

Financial assistance extended under this subchapter for a Head

Start program shall not exceed 80 percent of the approved costs of

the assisted program or activities, except that the Secretary may

approve assistance in excess of such percentage if the Secretary

determines that such action is required in furtherance of the

purposes of this subchapter. For the purpose of making such

determination, the Secretary shall take into consideration with

respect to the Head Start program involved -

(1) the lack of resources available in the community that may

prevent the Head Start agency from providing all or a portion of

the non-Federal contribution that may be required under this

subsection;

(2) the impact of the cost the Head Start agency may incur in

initial years it carries out such program;

(3) the impact of an unanticipated increase in the cost the

Head Start agency may incur to carry out such program;

(4) whether the Head Start agency is located in a community

adversely affected by a major disaster; and

(5) the impact on the community that would result if the Head

Start agency ceased to carry out such program.

Non-Federal contributions may be in cash or in kind, fairly

evaluated, including plant, equipment, or services. The Secretary

shall not require non-Federal contributions in excess of 20 percent

of the approved costs of programs or activities assisted under this

subchapter.

(c) Services covered

No programs shall be approved for assistance under this

subchapter unless the Secretary is satisfied that the services to

be provided under such program will be in addition to, and not in

substitution for, comparable services previously provided without

Federal assistance. The requirement imposed by the preceding

sentence shall be subject to such regulations as the Secretary may

prescribe.

(d) Enrollment of children with disabilities and provision of

services

The Secretary shall establish policies and procedures designed to

assure that for fiscal year 1999 and thereafter no less than 10

percent of the total number of enrollment opportunities in Head

Start programs in each State shall be available for children with

disabilities and that services shall be provided to meet their

special needs. Such policies and procedures shall require Head

Start agencies to coordinate programmatic efforts with efforts to

implement part C and section 619 of the Individuals with

Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1431-1445, 1419).

(e) Distribution of benefits between residents of rural and urban

areas

The Secretary shall adopt appropriate administrative measures to

assure that the benefits of this subchapter will be distributed

equitably between residents of rural and urban areas.

(f) Guidelines for local service delivery models

The Secretary shall establish procedures to enable Head Start

agencies to develop locally designed or specialized service

delivery models to address local community needs.

(g) Maintenance of current services; expansion of Head Start

programs

(1) If in any fiscal year, the amounts appropriated to carry out

the program under this subchapter exceed the amount appropriated in

the prior fiscal year, the Secretary shall, prior to using such

additional funds to serve an increased number of children, allocate

such funds in a manner that makes available the funds necessary to

maintain the level of services provided during the prior year,

taking into consideration the percentage change in the Consumer

Price Index For All Urban Consumers, as published by the Bureau of

Labor Statistics.

(2) For the purpose of expanding Head Start programs, in

allocating funds to an applicant within a State, from amounts

allotted to a State pursuant to subsection (a)(4) of this section,

the Secretary shall take into consideration -

(A) the quality of the applicant's programs (including Head

Start and other child care or child development programs) in

existence on the date of the allocation, including, in the case

of Head Start programs in existence on the date of the

allocation, the extent to which such programs meet or exceed

performance standards and other requirements under this

subchapter, and the performance history of the applicant in

providing services under other Federal programs (other than the

program carried out under this subchapter);

(B) the applicant's capacity to expand services (including, in

the case of Head Start programs in existence on the date of the

allocation, whether the applicant accomplished any prior

expansions in an effective and timely manner);

(C) the extent to which the applicant has undertaken

community-wide strategic planning and needs assessments involving

other community organizations and public agencies serving

children and families (including organizations serving families

in whose homes English is not the language customarily spoken),

and organizations and public entities serving children with

disabilities;

(D) the extent to which the family and community needs

assessment of the applicant reflects a need to provide

full-working-day or full calendar year services and the extent to

which, and manner in which, the applicant demonstrates the

ability to collaborate and participate with other local community

providers of child care or preschool services to provide

full-working-day full calendar year services;

(E) the numbers of eligible children in each community who are

not participating in a Head Start program or any other early

childhood program;

(F) the concentration of low-income families in each community;

(G) the extent to which the applicant proposes to foster

partnerships with other service providers in a manner that will

enhance the resource capacity of the applicant; and

(H) the extent to which the applicant, in providing services,

plans to coordinate with the local educational agency serving the

community involved and with schools in which children

participating in a Head Start program operated by such agency

will enroll following such program, regarding such services and

the education services provided by such local educational agency.

(3) In determining the amount of funds reserved pursuant to

subparagraph (A) or (B) of subsection (a)(2) of this section to be

used for expanding Head Start programs under this subchapter, the

Secretary shall take into consideration, to the extent appropriate,

the factors specified in paragraph (2).

(4) Notwithstanding subsection (a)(2) of this section, after

taking into account paragraph (1), the Secretary may allocate a

portion of the remaining additional funds under subsection

(a)(2)(A) of this section for the purpose of increasing funds

available for activities described in such subsection.

(h) Full-working-day services

Financial assistance provided under this subchapter may be used

by each Head Start program to provide full-working-day Head Start

services to any eligible child throughout the full calendar year.

(i) Vehicle safety regulations

The Secretary shall issue regulations establishing requirements

for the safety features, and the safe operation, of vehicles used

by Head Start agencies to transport children participating in Head

Start programs.

(j) Compensation of staff

Any agency that receives financial assistance under this

subchapter to improve the compensation of staff who provide

services under this subchapter (!2) shall use the financial

assistance to improve the compensation of such staff, regardless of

whether the agency has the ability to improve the compensation of

staff employed by the agency who do not provide Head Start

services.

(k) Flexibility in hours of service requirement

(1) The Secretary shall allow center-based Head Start programs

the flexibility to satisfy the total number of hours of service

required by the regulations in effect on May 18, 1994, to be

provided to children in Head Start programs so long as such

agencies do not -

(A) provide less than 3 hours of service per day;

(B) reduce the number of days of service per week; or

(C) reduce the number of days of service per year.

(2) The provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to

restrict the authority of the Secretary to fund alternative program

variations authorized under section 1306.35 of title 45 of the Code

of Federal Regulations in effect on May 18, 1994.

(l) Frequent relocation of migrant families

(1) With funds made available under subsection (a)(2) of this

section to migrant and seasonal Head Start programs, the Secretary

shall give priority to migrant and seasonal Head Start programs

that serve eligible children of migrant and seasonal farmworker

families whose work requires them to relocate most frequently.

(2) For purposes of subsection (a)(2)(A) of this section, in

determining the need and demand for migrant and seasonal Head Start

programs (and services provided through such programs), the

Secretary shall consult with appropriate entities, including

providers of services for migrant and seasonal Head Start programs.

The Secretary shall, after taking into consideration the need and

demand for migrant and seasonal Head Start programs (and such

services), ensure that there is an adequate level of such services

for eligible children of migrant farmworkers before approving an

increase in the allocation of funds provided under such subsection

for unserved eligible children of seasonal farmworkers. In serving

the eligible children of seasonal farmworkers, the Secretary shall

ensure that services provided by migrant and seasonal Head Start

programs do not duplicate or overlap with other Head Start services

available to eligible children of such farmworkers.

(3) In carrying out this subchapter, the Secretary shall continue

the administrative arrangement responsible for meeting the needs of

children of migrant and seasonal farmworkers and Indian children

and shall ensure that appropriate funding is provided to meet such

needs.

-HEAD-

Sec. 9836. Designation of Head Start agencies

-STATUTE-

(a) Authorization; prerequisites

The Secretary is authorized to designate as a Head Start agency

any local public or private nonprofit or for-profit agency, within

a community, which (1) has the power and authority to carry out the

purposes of this subchapter and perform the functions set forth in

section 9837 of this title within a community; and (2) is

determined by the Secretary (in consultation with the chief

executive officer of the State involved, if such State expends

non-Federal funds to carry out Head Start programs) to be capable

of planning, conducting, administering, and evaluating, either

directly or by other arrangements, a Head Start program.

(b) Definition

For purposes of this subchapter, a community may be a city,

county, or multicity or multicounty unit within a State, an Indian

reservation (including Indians in any off-reservation area

designated by an appropriate tribal government in consultation with

the Secretary), or a neighborhood or other area (irrespective of

boundaries or political subdivisions) which provides a suitable

organizational base and possesses the commonality of interest

needed to operate a Head Start program.

(c) Priority

(1) In the administration of the provisions of this section

(subject to paragraph (2)), the Secretary shall, in consultation

with the chief executive officer of the State involved if such

State expends non-Federal funds to carry out Head Start programs,

give priority in the designation of Head Start agencies to any

local public or private nonprofit or for-profit agency which is

receiving funds under any Head Start program on August 13, 1981,

unless the Secretary determines that the agency involved fails to

meet program and financial management requirements, performance

standards described in section 9836a(a)(1) of this title,

results-based performance measures developed by the Secretary under

section 9836a(b) of this title, or other requirements established

by the Secretary.

(2) If there is no agency of the type referred to in paragraph

(1) because of any change in the assistance furnished to programs

for economically disadvantaged persons, the Secretary shall, in

consultation with the chief executive officer of the State if such

State expends non-Federal funds to carry out Head Start programs,

give priority in the designation of Head Start agencies to any

successor agency that is operating a Head Start program in

substantially the same manner as the predecessor agency that did

receive funds in the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year for

which the determination is made.

(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, the

Secretary shall not give such priority to any agency with respect

to which financial assistance has been terminated, or an

application for refunding has been denied, under this subchapter by

the Secretary after affording such agency reasonable notice and

opportunity for a full and fair hearing in accordance with section

9841(a)(3) of this title.

(d) Designation; Head Start agency; qualified applicants

If no entity in a community is entitled to the priority specified

in subsection (c) of this section, then the Secretary may designate

a Head Start agency from among qualified applicants in such

community. In selecting from among qualified applicants for

designation as a Head Start agency, the Secretary shall give

priority to any qualified agency that functioned as a Head Start

delegate agency in the community and carried out a Head Start

program that the Secretary determines met or exceeded such

performance standards and such results-based performance measures.

In selecting from among qualified applicants for designation as a

Head Start agency, the Secretary shall consider the effectiveness

of each such applicant to provide Head Start services, based on -

(1) any past performance of such applicant in providing

services comparable to Head Start services, including how

effectively such applicant provided such comparable services;

(2) the plan of such applicant to provide comprehensive health,

nutritional, educational, social, and other services needed to

aid participating children in attaining their full potential;

(3) the plan of such applicant to coordinate the Head Start

program it proposes to carry out, with other preschool programs,

including Even Start programs under part B of chapter 1 of title

I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (!1) (20

U.S.C. 2741 et seq.) and programs under part C and section 619 of

the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C.

1431-1445, 1419), and with the educational programs such children

will enter at the age of compulsory school attendance;

(4) the plan of such applicant -

(A) to seek the involvement of parents of participating

children in activities (at home and in the center involved

where practicable) designed to help such parents become full

partners in the education of their children;

(B) to afford such parents the opportunity to participate in

the development, conduct, and overall performance of the

program at the local level;

(C) to offer (directly or through referral to local entities,

such as entities carrying out Even Start programs under part B

of chapter 1 of title I of the Elementary and Secondary

Education Act of 1965 (!1) (20 U.S.C. 2741 et seq.), public and

school libraries, and family support programs) to such parents

-

(i) family literacy services; and

(ii) parenting skills training;

(D) to offer to parents of participating children substance

abuse counseling (either directly or through referral to local

entities), including information on drug-exposed infants and

fetal alcohol syndrome;

(E) at the option of such applicant, to offer (directly or

through referral to local entities) to such parents -

(i) training in basic child development;

(ii) assistance in developing communication skills;

(iii) opportunities for parents to share experiences with

other parents; or

(iv) any other activity designed to help such parents

become full partners in the education of their children; and

(F) to provide, with respect to each participating family, a

family needs assessment that includes consultation with such

parents about the benefits of parent involvement and about the

activities described in subparagraphs (C), (D), and (E) in

which such parents may choose to become involved (taking into

consideration their specific family needs, work schedules, and

other responsibilities);

(5) the ability of such applicant to carry out the plans

described in paragraphs (2), (3), and (4);

(6) other factors related to the requirements of this

subchapter;

(7) the plan of such applicant to meet the needs of non-English

background children and their families, including needs related

to the acquisition of the English language;

(8) the plan of such applicant to meet the needs of children

with disabilities;

(9) the plan of such applicant who chooses to assist younger

siblings of children who will participate in the proposed Head

Start program to obtain health services from other sources; and

(10) the plan of such applicant to collaborate with other

entities carrying out early childhood education and child care

programs in the community.

(e) Designation of agency on an interim basis

If no agency in the community receives priority designation under

subsection (c) of this section, and there is no qualified applicant

in the community, the Secretary shall designate a qualified agency

to carry out the Head Start program in the community on an interim

basis until a qualified applicant from the community is so

designated.

(f) Involvement of parents and area residents in selection of

agencies

The Secretary shall require that the practice of significantly

involving parents and area residents affected by the program in

selection of Head Start agencies be continued.

(g) Priority for nonprofit agencies and applicants with

demonstrated capacity

If the Secretary determines that a nonprofit agency and a

for-profit agency have submitted applications for designation of

equivalent quality under subsection (d) of this section, the

Secretary may give priority to the nonprofit agency. In selecting

from among qualified applicants for designation as a Head Start

agency under subsection (d) of this section, the Secretary shall

give priority to applicants that have demonstrated capacity in

providing comprehensive early childhood services to children and

their families.

CHAPTER 105 - COMMUNITY SERVICES PROGRAMS

SUBCHAPTER II - HEAD START PROGRAMS

-HEAD-

Sec. 9839. Administrative requirements and standards

-STATUTE-

(a) Employment practices, nonpartisanship, staff accountability,

public access to information, etc.

Each Head Start agency shall observe standards of organization,

management, and administration which will assure, so far as

reasonably possible, that all program activities are conducted in a

manner consistent with the purposes of this subchapter and the

objective of providing assistance effectively, efficiently, and

free of any taint of partisan political bias or personal or family

favoritism. Each such agency shall establish or adopt rules to

carry out this section, which shall include rules to assure full

staff accountability in matters governed by law, regulations, or

agency policy. Each agency shall also provide for reasonable public

access to information, including public hearings at the request of

appropriate community groups and reasonable public access to books

and records of the agency or other agencies engaged in program

activities or operations involving the use of authority or funds

for which it is responsible. Each such agency shall adopt for

itself and other agencies using funds or exercising authority for

which it is responsible, rules designed to (1) establish specific

standards governing salaries, salary increases, travel and per diem

allowances, and other employee benefits; (2) assure that only

persons capable of discharging their duties with competence and

integrity are employed and that employees are promoted or advanced

under impartial procedures calculated to improve agency performance

and effectiveness; (3) guard against personal or financial

conflicts of interest; and (4) define employee duties in an

appropriate manner which will in any case preclude employees from

participating, in connection with the performance of their duties,

in any form of picketing, protest, or other direct action which is

in violation of law.

(b) Development and administrative costs of programs

Except as provided in subsection (f) of this section, no

financial assistance shall be extended under this subchapter in any

case in which the Secretary determines that the costs of developing

and administering a program assisted under this subchapter exceed

15 percent of the total costs, including the required non-Federal

contributions to such costs, of such program. The Secretary shall

establish by regulation, criteria for determining (1) the costs of

developing and administering such program; and (2) the total costs

of such program. In any case in which the Secretary determines that

the cost of administering such program does not exceed 15 percent

of such total costs but is, in the judgment of the Secretary,

excessive, the Secretary shall forthwith require the recipient of

such financial assistance to take such steps prescribed by the

Secretary as will eliminate such excessive administrative cost,

including the sharing by one or more Head Start agencies of a

common director and other administrative personnel. The Secretary

may waive the limitation prescribed by this subsection for specific

periods of time not to exceed 12 months whenever the Secretary

determines that such a waiver is necessary in order to carry out

the purposes of this subchapter.

(c) Rules and regulations; special or simplified requirements for

small agencies; common or joint use of facilities

The Secretary shall prescribe rules or regulations to supplement

subsections (a) and (f) of this section, which shall be binding on

all agencies carrying on Head Start program activities with

financial assistance under this subchapter. The Secretary may,

where appropriate, establish special or simplified requirements for

smaller agencies or agencies operating in rural areas. Policies and

procedures shall be established to ensure that indirect costs

attributable to the common or joint use of facilities and services

by programs assisted under this subchapter and other programs shall

be fairly allocated among the various programs which utilize such

facilities and services.

(d) Publication and notification of proposed rules, etc.

At least 30 days prior to their effective date, all rules,

regulations, and application forms shall be published in the

Federal Register and shall be sent to each grantee with the

notification that each such grantee has the right to submit

comments pertaining thereto to the Secretary prior to the final

adoption thereof.

(e) Neutrality concerning union organizing

Funds appropriated to carry out this subchapter shall not be used

to assist, promote, or deter union organizing.

(f) Purchase of facility; approval requirements; financial

assistance

(1) The Secretary shall establish uniform procedures for Head

Start agencies to request approval to purchase facilities, or to

request approval of the purchase (after December 31, 1986) of

facilities, to be used to carry out Head Start programs. The

Secretary shall suspend any proceedings pending against any Head

Start agency to claim costs incurred in purchasing such facilities

until the agency has been afforded an opportunity to apply for

approval of the purchase and the Secretary has determined whether

the purchase will be approved. The Secretary shall not be required

to repay claims previously satisfied by Head Start agencies for

costs incurred in the purchase of such facilities.

(2) Financial assistance provided under this subchapter may not

be used by a Head Start agency to purchase a facility (including

paying the cost of amortizing the principal, and paying interest

on, loans) to be used to carry out a Head Start program unless the

Secretary approves a request that is submitted by such agency and

contains -

(A) a description of the site of the facility proposed to be

purchased or that was previously purchased;

(B) the plans and specifications of such facility;

(C) information demonstrating that -

(i) the proposed purchase will result, or the previous

purchase has resulted, in savings when compared to the costs

that would be incurred to acquire the use of an alternative

facility to carry out such program; or

(ii) the lack of alternative facilities will prevent, or

would have prevented, the operation of such program;

(D) in the case of a request regarding a previously purchased

facility, information demonstrating that the facility will be

used principally as a Head Start center, or a direct support

facility for a Head Start program; and

(E) such other information and assurances as the Secretary may

require.

(3) Upon a determination by the Secretary that suitable

facilities are not otherwise available to Indian tribes to carry

out Head Start programs, and that the lack of suitable facilities

will inhibit the operation of such programs, the Secretary, in the

discretion of the Secretary, may authorize the use of financial

assistance, from the amount reserved under section 9835(a)(2)(A) of

this title, to make payments for the purchase of facilities owned

by such tribes. The amount of such a payment for such a facility

shall not exceed the fair market value of the facility.

(g) Payments for capital expenditures

(1) Upon a determination by the Secretary that suitable

facilities (including public school facilities) are not otherwise

available to Indian tribes, rural communities, and other low-income

communities to carry out Head Start programs, that the lack of

suitable facilities will inhibit the operation of such programs,

and that construction of such facilities is more cost effective

than purchase of available facilities or renovation, the Secretary,

in the discretion of the Secretary, may authorize the use of

financial assistance under this subchapter to make payments for

capital expenditures related to facilities that will be used to

carry out such programs. The Secretary shall establish uniform

procedures for Head Start agencies to request approval for such

payments, and shall promote, to the extent practicable, the

collocation of Head Start programs with other programs serving

low-income children and families.

(2) Such payments may be used for capital expenditures (including

paying the cost of amortizing the principal, and paying interest

on, loans) such as expenditures for -

(A) construction of facilities that are not in existence on the

date of the determination;

(B) major renovation of facilities in existence on such date;

and

(C) purchase of vehicles used for programs conducted at the

Head Start facilities.

(3) All laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or

subcontractors in the construction or renovation of facilities to

be used to carry out Head Start programs shall be paid wages at not

less than those prevailing on similar construction in the locality,

as determined by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with sections

3141-3144, 3146, and 3147 of title 40.

(h) Personnel preferences to Indian tribe members

In all personnel actions of the American Indian Programs Branch

of the Head Start Bureau of the Administration for Children and

Families, the Secretary shall give the same preference to

individuals who are members of an Indian tribe as the Secretary

gives to a disabled veteran, as defined in section 2108(3)(C) of

title 5. The Secretary shall take such additional actions as may be

necessary to promote recruitment of such individuals for employment

in the Administration.

Sec. 9840. Participation in Head Start programs

-STATUTE-

(a) Criteria for eligibility

(1) The Secretary shall by regulation prescribe eligibility for

the participation of persons in Head Start programs assisted under

this subchapter. Except as provided in paragraph (2), such criteria

may provide -

(A) that children from low-income families shall be eligible

for participation in programs assisted under this subchapter if

their families' incomes are below the poverty line, or if their

families are eligible or, in the absence of child care, would

potentially be eligible for public assistance; and

(B) pursuant to such regulations as the Secretary shall

prescribe, that -

(i) programs assisted under this subchapter may include, to a

reasonable extent, participation of children in the area served

who would benefit from such programs but whose families do not

meet the low-income criteria prescribed pursuant to

subparagraph (A); and

(ii) a child who has been determined to meet the low-income

criteria and who is participating in a Head Start program in a

program year shall be considered to continue to meet the

low-income criteria through the end of the succeeding program

year.

In determining, for purposes of this paragraph, whether a child who

has applied for enrollment in a Head Start program meets the

low-income criteria, an entity may consider evidence of family

income during the 12 months preceding the month in which the

application is submitted, or during the calendar year preceding the

calendar year in which the application is submitted, whichever more

accurately reflects the needs of the family at the time of

application.

(2) Whenever a Head Start program is operated in a community with

a population of 1,000 or less individuals and -

(A) there is no other preschool program in the community;

(B) the community is located in a medically underserved area,

as designated by the Secretary pursuant to section 254c(b)(3)

(!1) of this title and is located in a health professional

shortage area, as designated by the Secretary pursuant to section

254e(a)(1) of this title;

(C) the community is in a location which, by reason of

remoteness, does not permit reasonable access to the types of

services described in clauses (A) and (B); and

(D) not less than 50 percent of the families to be served in

the community are eligible under the eligibility criteria

established by the Secretary under paragraph (1);

the Head Start program in each such locality shall establish the

criteria for eligibility, except that no child residing in such

community whose family is eligible under such eligibility criteria

shall, by virtue of such project's eligibility criteria, be denied

an opportunity to participate in such program. During the period

beginning on October 30, 1984, and ending on October 1, 1994, and

unless specifically authorized in any statute of the United States

enacted after October 30, 1984, the Secretary may not make any

change in the method, as in effect on April 25, 1984, of

calculating income used to prescribe eligibility for the

participation of persons in the Head Start programs assisted under

this subchapter if such change would result in any reduction in, or

exclusion from, participation of persons in any of such programs.

(b) Establishment of fee schedule or charging of fees; payment by

families willing and able to pay

The Secretary shall not prescribe any fee schedule or otherwise

provide for the charging of any fees for participation in Head

Start programs, unless such fees are authorized by legislation

hereafter enacted. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to

prevent the families of children who participate in Head Start

programs and who are willing and able to pay the full cost of such

participation from doing so. A Head Start agency that provides a

Head Start program with full-working-day services in collaboration

with other agencies or entities may collect a family copayment to

support extended day services if a copayment is required in

conjunction with the collaborative. The copayment charged to

families receiving services through the Head Start program shall

not exceed the copayment charged to families with similar incomes

and circumstances who are receiving the services through

participation in a program carried out by another agency or entity.

(c) Availability of more than one year of services; children

eligible

Each Head Start program operated in a community shall be

permitted to provide more than 1 year of Head Start services to

eligible children (age 3 to compulsory school attendance) in the

State. Each Head Start program operated in a community shall be

permitted to recruit and accept applications for enrollment of

children throughout the year.

(d) Indian tribes

(1) An Indian tribe that -

(A) operates a Head Start program;

(B) enrolls as participants in the program all children in the

community served by the tribe (including a community that is an

off-reservation area, designated by an appropriate tribal

government, in consultation with the Secretary) from families

that meet the low-income criteria prescribed under subsection

(a)(1)(A) of this section; and

(C) has the resources to enroll additional children in the

community who do not meet the low-income criteria;

may enroll such additional children in a Head Start program, in

accordance with this subsection, if the program predominantly

serves children who meet the low-income criteria.

(2) The Indian tribe shall enroll the children in the Head Start

program in accordance with such requirements as the Secretary may

specify by regulation promulgated after consultation with Indian

tribes.

(3) In providing services through a Head Start program to such

children, the Indian tribe may not use funds that the Secretary has

determined, in accordance with section 9835(g)(3) of this title,

are to be used for expanding Head Start programs under this

subchapter.
