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: State and EIS Record Keeping and Reporting 
Requirements under Part C.
    OMB Control Number: 1820-0682.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
ICR.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 56.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,268.
    Abstract: The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative 
Services needs to extend (renew as-is) its Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) Information Collection (IC): 1820-0682 State and Early 
Intervention Services (EIS) Record Keeping under Part C which is set to 
expire on 1/31/2027. These record-keeping requirements are not new and 
do not require reporting to the Secretary. The record keeping 
requirements outlined in this IC were created to reflect the 
requirements in Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education 
Act (IDEA) in 20 U.S.C. 1431-1443 and the final Part C regulations. 
These regulations require the 56 State lead agencies (LAs) that receive 
IDEA Part C funds to collect and maintain information or data and, in 
some cases, report information or data to other public agencies or to 
the public. This Information Collection was created to ensure that all 
IDEA Part C information responsibilities are documented and have been 
submitted for OMB review.

Ross Santy,
Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy 
Development.
