Abstract: In accordance with 20 U.S.C. 1416(b)(1), not later than one year after the date of enactment of the Individuals with Disabilities Education, as revised in 2004, each State must have in place a performance plan that evaluates the State’s efforts to implement the requirements and purposes of Part B and describe how the State will improve such implementation. This plan is called the Part B State Performance Plan (Part B - SPP). In accordance with 20 U.S.C. 1416(b)(2)(C)(ii) the State shall report annually to the public on the performance of each local educational agency located in the State on the targets in the State’s performance plan. The State also shall report annually to the Secretary on the performance of the State under the State’s performance plan. This report is called the Part B Annual Performance Report (Part B - 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 online 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 ten hours per response due to program changes due to agency discretion.
