In accordance with 20 U.S.C.
1416(b)(1) and 20 U.S.C. 1442, not later than 1 year after the date
of enactment of the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Improvement Act of 2004, each lead agency must have in place a
performance plan that evaluates the lead agencys efforts to
implement the requirements and purposes of Part C and describe how
the Lead Agency will improve such implementation. This plan is
called the Part C State Performance Plan (Part C SPP). In
accordance with 20 U.S.C. 1416(b)(2)(C)(ii) the lead agency shall
report annually to the public on the performance of each early
intervention service program located in the State on the targets in
the lead agencys performance plan. The lead agency also shall
report annually to the Secretary on the performance of the State
under the lead agencys performance plan. This report is called the
Part C Annual Performance Report (Part C APR). IC 1820-0578 is
being extended so that States will continue to maintain the SPP and
annually submit the APR.
The original estimate of annual
hours did not accurately reflect the annual reporting and
recordkeeping hour burden. Therefore, the Department is requesting
an increase in the annual reporting and recordkeeping burden. The
burden above was calculated with key stakeholder input.
Additionally, the original approval request in 2006 indicated that
there would be 112 respondents. This number reflected the
submission of one (1) SPP and one (1) APR from each of the 56
respondents. It is no longer mandatory that each respondent
annually submit a complete SPP; rather it is acceptable to submit
only those parts that have been revised and then post a "complete"
SPP on the state's website. Therefore, the respondent number has
been revised to only reflect the 56 APRs.
