    Abstract: The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative 
Services needs to extend its Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
Information Collection (IC): 1820-0682 State and Early Intervention 
Services (EIS) Record Keeping under Part C which is set to expire on 
11/30/2023. These record-keeping requirements are not new and do not 
require reporting to the Secretary. The record keeping requirements 
outlined in this IC were created to reflect the requirements in Part C 
of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 20 U.S.C. 
1431-1443 and the final Part C regulations. These regulations require 
the 56 State lead agencies (LAs) that receive IDEA Part C funds to 
collect and maintain information or data and, in some cases, report 
information or data to other public agencies or to the public. This 
Information Collection was created to ensure that all IDEA Part C 
information responsibilities are documented and have been submitted for 
OMB review.
