this information be processed and used

in a timely manner, (3) is the estimate

of burden accurate, (4) how might the

Abstract: The State Interagency

Coordinating Counsel in each State is

required to submit an Annual Report to

the Secretary on the status of the Early

IDEA requires States to prepare and

submit an annual report to the Secretary

on the status of early intervention

programs for infants and toddlers with

disabilities which they operated within

the State.

Since the Secretary cannot waive the

1997.
