The Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act, signed on December 3, 2004, became PL 108-446. In
accordance with 20 U.S.C. 1412(a) a State is eligible for
assistance under Part B for a fiscal year if the State submits a
plan that provides assurances to the Secretary that the State has
in effect policies and procedures to ensure that the State meets
each of the conditions found in 20 U.S.C. 1412. Information
Collection 1820-0030 is being extended so that a State can provide
assurances that it either has or does not have in effect policies
and procedures to meet the eligibility requirements of Part B of

and local educational agencies located in the State be notified of
any State-imposed rule, regulation, or policy that is not required
by this title and Federal regulations.
