Abstract: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004, signed on December 3, 2004, became PL 108-446. In accordance with 20 U.S.C. 1416(b)(1) and 20 U.S.C. 1442, not later that one 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 Agency's 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) and 20 U.S.C. 1442 the Lead Agency shall report annually to the public on the performance of each Part C program located in the State on the targets in the Lead Agency's performance plan. The Lead Agency shall report annually to the Secretary on the performance of the State under the Lead Agency's performance plan. This report is called the Part C Annual Performance Report (Part C - APR).

Short Statement: The Department is making revisions to the approved information collection. The program changes and subsequent revisions to the Part C SPP/APR, which would go into effect with States’ FFY 2026 SPP/APR to be submitted in February 2028, are focused on reducing burden for States by more closely aligning the SPP/APR to statutory requirements, eliminating duplicative reporting, and further streamlining reporting requirements in the SPP/APR submission tool while maintaining strong accountability. The proposed changes also reflect the administration’s priorities to collect and disseminate meaningful data, improve outcomes, and increase parent choice. The burden is decreased by seven hours per response due to program changes due to agency discretion.
