The Department is especially interested in public comment addressing

how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and (5) how might the Department
minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information technology. Please note that written
comments received in response to this notice will be considered public
records.
Title of Collection: Annual State Application Under Part B of the
Individuals with Disabilities Act as Amended in 2004.
OMB Control Number: 1820-0030.
Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 60.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 180.
Abstract: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA),
signed on December 3, 2004, became PL 108-446. In accordance with 20
U.S.C. 1412(a), a State is eligible for assistance under Part B for a
fiscal year if the State submits a plan that provides assurances to the
Secretary that the State has in effect policies and procedures to
ensure that the State meets each of the conditions found in 20 U.S.C.
1412. Information Collection 1820-0030 is being revised to remove the
Significant Disproportionality data collection under IDEA section
618(d) and 34 CFR 300.646 and 300.647 from Section V of the Annual
State Application under Part B of the IDEA. The Department believes
that removal of the data collection related to Significant
Disproportionality will reduce the burden on respondents when
completing the Annual State Application under Part B of IDEA.
[[Page 41064]]
The remaining sections of the Annual State Application under Part B
of IDEA are being extended so that States can provide assurances that
they either have or do not have in effect policies and procedures to
meet the eligibility requirements of Part B of the Act as found in PL
108-446. Information Collection 1820-0030 corresponds with 34 CFR
300.100-176; 300.199; 300.640-645; and 300.705. These sections include
the requirement that the Secretary and local educational agencies
located in the State be notified of any State-imposed rule, regulation,
or policy that is not required by this title and Federal regulations.
Ross Santy,
Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy
Development.
