SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 3, 2004, the President 

signed into law Pub. L. 108–446, 118

the new law may be obtained at the

Enactment of the new law provides an 

opportunity to consider improvements 

in the regulations implementing the 

IDEA in 34 CFR parts 300 and 303 that 

would strengthen the Federal effort to 

ensure the provision of early 

intervention services to infants and 

toddlers with disabilities and their 

families and ensure every child with a 

disability has available a free 

appropriate public education that: (1) Is 

of high quality, and (2) is designed to 

achieve the high standards reflected in 

the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. 

Invitation To Comment 

We invite you to submit comments 

and recommendations regarding 

changes to 34 CFR parts 300 and 303 

that you believe are needed, particularly 

to clarify a provision in the new law or 

to facilitate its implementation. We 

encourage you to make your comments 

as specific as possible regarding the 

nature and scope of regulatory action 

necessary to achieve the objective you 

are seeking. Also, if appropriate to your 

comments, please identify the specific 

part and section (or subsection) of the 

amended IDEA that is the subject of 

your recommendations, and specify 

how a proposed change to a given 

provision in the regulations will clarify 

or help to improve implementation of 

the new statutory provision. 

Please include the following with 

your comments and recommendations: 

A description of the area of your 

involvement in special education, 

regular education or early intervention, 

as well as your role, if any, in that area 

(e.g., parent, teacher, student, service

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this action, no 

further activity is contemplated. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period.
