1. THIS FORM
WILL SPECIFY THAT THE CHILD COUNT IS OF DECEMBER 1, 1986. 2. THIS
APPROVAL DOES NOT APPLY TO THE COLLECTION OF DATA ON RELATED
SERVICES. THE DETAILED DATA COLLECTION ON HANDICAPPED CHILDREN
RECEIVING RELATED SERVICES HAS NOT BEEN DEMONSTRATED BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AS NECESSARY FOR PROPER PERFORMANCE OF THE
AGENCY'S FUNCTIONS. IN REGARD TO THE COLLECTION OF THE DATA ON
RELATED SERVICES, EDUCATION HAS INDICATED IN MATERIALS PROVIDED TO
OMB ON 10-21-86 AS PART OF THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS DATA
COLLECTION, THAT THE DATA ON RELATED SERVICES IS OF PRIMARY
INTEREST TO PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS. OMB HAS RECEIVED FROM
PROVIDERS OF DATA AT THE STATE LEVEL STRONG OBJECTIONS TO THE
PROPOSED COLLECTION OF RELATED SERVICES DATA DUE TO THE BURDEN
ASSOCIATED WITH ITS COMPILATION. AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THIS
BURDENSOME DATA COLLECTION, OMB WOULD BE PREPARED TO APPROVE A
REQUEST THAT STATES SUBMIT NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF RELATED
SERVICES PROVIDED TO HANDICAPPED CHILDREN. SUCH A DESCRIPTION
SHOULD SUFFICE TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
