SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Federal Interagency Coordinating

Council (FICC) is established under

section 685 of the Individuals with

Disabilities Education Act, as amended

(20 U.S.C. 1484a). The Council is

established to: (1) Minimize duplication

across Federal, State and local agencies

of programs and activities relating to

early intervention services for infants

and toddlers with disabilities and their

families and preschool services for

children with disabilities; (2) ensure

effective coordination of Federal early

intervention and preschool programs,

including Federal technical assistance

and support activities; and (3) identify

gaps in Federal agency programs and

services and barriers to Federal

interagency cooperation. To meet these

purposes, the FICC seeks to: (1) identify

areas of conflict, overlap, and omissions

in interagency policies related to the

provision of services to infants,

toddlers, and preschoolers with

disabilities; (2) develop and implement

joint policy interpretations on issues

related to infants, toddlers, and

preschoolers that cut across Federal

agencies, including modifications of

regulations to eliminate barriers to

interagency programs and activities; and

(3) coordinate the provision of technical

assistance and dissemination of best

practice information. The FICC is

chaired by the Assistant Secretary for

Special Education and Rehabilitative

Services.

At this meeting the FICC plans to

discuss issues related to the scope and

limits of public entitlement, in light of

new treatments and/or intervention

options for young children.

The meeting of the FICC is open to the

public. Written public comment will be

accepted at the conclusion of the

meeting. These comments will be

included in the summary minutes of the

meeting. The meeting will be physically

accessible with meeting materials

provided in both braille and large print.

Interpreters for persons who are hearing

impaired will be available. Individuals

with disabilities who plan to attend and

need other reasonable accommodations

should contact the contact person

named above in advance of the meeting.

Summary minutes of the FICC

meetings will be maintained and

available for public inspection at the
