Background 

On December 21, 2006, the Assistant 

Secretary for Special Education and 

Rehabilitative Services (Assistant 

Secretary) issued a final program 

determination letter (PDL) seeking to 

recover from Oklahoma $583,943.29 of 

Part B of the Individuals with 

Disabilities Education Act (IDEA–B) 

funds. These funds, based on a finding 

in a single audit of Oklahoma (Audit 

Control Number 06–04–58175), were 

determined by the Assistant Secretary to 

have been expended, during fiscal year 

2003, in violation of the IDEA–B’s 

maintenance of effort requirement set 

out in 34 CFR 300.230–300.233 (2003).1

Specifically, the PDL identified 76 LEAs 

in Oklahoma that violated the 

maintenance of effort requirement and 

the amount of that violation for each of 

those LEAs. 

Oklahoma filed an Application for 

Review of this PDL with the Office of 

Administrative Law Judges (OALJ) on 

February 26, 2007. On April 16, 2007, 

the OALJ granted the parties Joint 

Motion to Conduct Voluntary Discovery, 

Engage in Settlement, Negotiations, and 

Suspend the Procedural Schedule (Joint 

Motion). Since this Joint Motion was 

granted, Oklahoma has presented the 

Department with extensive 

documentation and analysis, not 

available to the Department at the time 

the PDL was issued, to support its 

contention that the total level of the 

maintenance of effort violation was 

lower than set out in the PDL. On the 

basis of that documentation the 

Assistant Secretary, on November 22, 

2010, filed a Notice of Reduction of 

Claim with the OALJ that reduced the 

claim in this matter from $583,943.29 to 

$289,501.76. 

The Department proposes to 

compromise this remaining claim to 

$217,126.32. Based on litigation risks 

and the costs of proceeding through the 

administrative and, possibly, court 

process for this appeal, the Department 

has determined that it would not be 

practical or in the public interest to 

continue this proceeding. In addition, in 

light of corrective actions Oklahoma has 

taken, we do not anticipate recurrence 

of this maintenance of effort violation. 

As a result, under the authority in 20 

U.S.C. 1234a(j), the Department has 

determined that compromise of this 

claim for $217,126.32 is appropriate. 

The public is invited to comment on the 

Department’s intent to compromise this 

claim. Additional information may be 

obtained by calling or writing to Ronald 

B. Petracca at the telephone number and 

address listed at the beginning of this 

notice.
