Title: Report of Children with Disabilities Subject to Unilateral Changes in Placement, Change in Placement Based on a Hearing Officer Determination, or Long-Term Suspension/Expulsion
Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 08/25/1998
	Date Received in OIRA: 06/23/1998
Terms of Clearance: Approved as amended by and consistent with ED's memos, revisions, and attachments of 8/21/98 and 8/25/98. In addition, ED agrees to the following conditions: 1) ED will revise all sections of Table 5 so that any data requested by ED that is not specifically required by Sec. 618(a)(1)(A)(vii) of the IDEA 1997 Amendments will be optional for the first year this collection is implemented (i.e. academic year 1998 - 1999). For example, any request ED makes for data that is broken down by race/ethnicity and disability beyond what is specifically referenced in 618(a)(1)(A)(vii)(I) will be optional reporting. 2) ED will inform respondents that it is ED's intention to change the aforementioned optional reporting requirements to mandatory for the second year of this collection's implementation (i.e. academic year 1999 - 2000). However, prior to implementation of a mandatory reporting requirement for any data not specifically required by Sec. 618(a)(1)(A)(vii), ED must take the following steps: a) submit to OMB an addendum to this package with the revised forms and instructions, b) submit to OMB an analysis which assesses the burdens imposed by reporting requirements additional to those specifically required by Sec. 618(a)(1)(A)vii relative to the utility of this data, c) based on this analysis, OMB will either approve or disapprove this requested addendum. 3) ED will revise Table 5 so that all requests for data based on 'multiple short-term suspensions summing to > 10 days' will be optional until the final regulation is issued by ED. Once the final regulation is issued by ED, then ED will inform the states in a manner ED finds least burdensome (e.g., letter to chief state school officers) of any changes to this category of data that may result from the final regulation. At that point in time, ED can change the 'optional' status of this data category to 'mandatory' for any data ED collects related to 'multiple short-term suspensions' consistent with what is required under Sec. 618(a)1(A)(vii)(III). 4) ED will send the revised Table 5 to OMB for an expeditious review prior to sending it to respondents. 5) ED will submit to OMB for review any changes to this paperwork that result from any regulatory changes affecting IDEA. 6) ED will submit to OMB a copy of OSEP responses to public comments consistent with ED's response #8 on the 8/21 memo. 7) OSEP will continue their efforts with OCR and OERI to develop a combined data collection for the Year 2000 which coordinates ED's request for information on discipline and minimizes burden on the public by eliminating reporting requirements that may appear duplicative to respondents filling out the CCD, the civil rights compliance report, and this OSEP form.
