Abstract: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 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 extended so that a State can provide assurances that it either has or does 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; 300.646-647 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.
In addition, Information Collection 1820-0300 is being updated to make a nonsubstantive change to the application template to address a statement that is referenced in two places in the application document. The statement appears under Section II.C. (Certifications), item number two and is also referenced under Section II.D (Statement). This statement pertains to a provision, under the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) at 34 CFR 76.104, relating to State eligibility, authority and approval to submit and carry out the provisions of its State application, and consistency of that application with State law are in place within the State. The purpose of the nonsubstantive change is to remove the statement from under Section II.C. (Certifications) in order to eliminate the duplication of the statement within the application template.
