The notice also covers comments on the draft environmental impact statement and cost benefit analysis. It directs electronic comments to docket F S, twenty twenty-five, zero zero zero one. Explain the reasons for recommended changes and identify the section you are addressing.

Second, Head Start. The August seventh proposal would rescind and replace the Head Start Program Performance Standards last revised in twenty twenty-four. Its stated goals include reducing regulatory burden and increasing state and local flexibility. Those are the agency's stated goals, not a finding about the eventual results. Comments are due October sixth. Use the submission instructions for docket A C F, twenty twenty-six, zero five nine five.
