Abstract: The Individuals with

(Pub. L.) 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 the 

Act as found in Public Law 108–446. 

Information Collection 1820–0030 

corresponds with 34 CFR sections 

300.100–176; 300.199; 300.640–645; and 

300.705. These sections include the 

requirement that the Secretary 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.
