🇬🇧 English

The U.S. Department of Education is proposing a revision to an existing information collection request (ICR) under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995. The ICR concerns the State Performance Plan (SPP) and Annual Performance Report (APR) required under Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which governs early intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities (ages 0–2). Under IDEA Part C, each state must submit an SPP outlining how it will meet federal performance indicators, and an APR reporting actual progress against those indicators. The Department's proposed revision likely updates the data elements, reporting timelines, or indicator definitions states must use when submitting these documents. This notice is a standard PRA public comment solicitation, meaning the Department is inviting public feedback on the burden, necessity, and quality of the proposed data collection before finalizing the revision. Comments are typically accepted for 60 days following publication in the Federal Register. The revision does not create a new program but refines existing federal reporting obligations for the roughly 56 state and territory lead agencies that administer IDEA Part C early intervention programs.
