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 agencyÂs 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 Â 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 agencyÂs performance plan. The lead agency also shall report annually to the Secretary on the performance of the State under the lead agencyÂs performance plan. This report is called the Part C Annual Performance Report (Part C Â 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.
