Sasser, Sefton, Tipton & Davis, P.C. In the November 9, 2011, issue of the Federal Register (76 Fed. Reg. 70010), the Office of Head Start published final regulations to implement the designation renewal (more commonly called "recompetition") provisions of the Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act of 2007. The Office of Head Start published its proposed recompetition regulations in the fall of 2010, but the proposed regulations proved controversial within the Head Start community. The final regulations contain several changes from the proposed regulations, including the removal of a 25% minimum level for recompetition contained in the original, proposed regulations. The final regulations take effect in one month on December 9, 2011. President Obama announced the new, final Head Start recompetition regulations on Tuesday, November 8, 2011, during a speech at Yeadon Regional Head Start in Philadelphia.
