    Abstract: This is a request for an extension of the Annual State

Act as Amended in 2004 for Federal fiscal year 2024. The Individuals 
with Disabilities Education Act, when signed on December 3, 2004, 
became Public Law 108-446. In order to be eligible for a grant under 20 
U.S.C. 1433, a State must provide assurance to the Secretary that the 
State has adopted a policy that appropriate early intervention services 
are available to all infants and toddlers with disabilities in the 
State and their families, including Indian infants and toddlers with 
disabilities and their families residing on a reservation 
geographically located in the State, infants and toddlers with 
disabilities who are homeless children and their families, and has in 
effect a statewide system that meets the requirements of 20 U.S.C. 
1435. Some policies, procedures, methods, and descriptions must be 
submitted to the Secretary.
    The review type for this collection is an extension. Additional 
text was added to the areas of the application template and application 
instructions that cover Sections III.B, III. C, and III. F to make the 
instructions clearer and to minimize confusion as States prepare their 
application materials.
