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: 840.
Abstract: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA),
signed on December 3, 2004, became Public Law 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.
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
Public Law 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.
