of proposed rulemaking and our request for comments appeared in the 
Federal Register on June 19, 2015. We initially set August 18, 2015 as 
the deadline for the comment period. To allow the public more time, we 
extend the comment period for an additional 30 days.

DATES: ACF extends the comment period for notice of proposed rulemaking 
entitled, ``Head Start Performance Standards'' published on June 19, 
2015 (80 FR 35430), to September 17, 2015. Submit either electronic or 
written comments by September 17, 2015.

Additionally, you may send comments via the United States Postal 
Service to: Office of Head Start, Attention: Director of Policy and 
Planning, 1250 Maryland Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20024.
    To ensure we can effectively respond to your comment(s), clearly 
identify the issue(s) on which you are commenting. Provide the page 
number, identify the column, and cite the paragraph from the Federal 
Register document, (i.e, On page 10999, second column, Sec.  
1305.6(a)(1)(i) . . .). All comments received are a part of the public 
record and will be posted for public viewing on www.regulations.gov,
