Title: Developmental Disabilities State
Plan.
OMB No.: 0980–0162.
Description: A Plan developed by the
State Council on Developmental
Disabilities is required by federal
statute. Each State Council on
Developmental Disabilities must
develop the plan, provide for public
comments in the State, provide for
approval by the State’s Governor, and
finally submit the plan on a five-year
basis. On an annual basis, the Council
must review the plan and make any
amendments. The State Plan will be
used (1) by the Council as a planning
document; (2) by the citizenry of the
State as a mechanism for commenting
on the plans of the Council; and (3) by
the Department as a stewardship tool,
for ensuring compliance with the
Developmental Disabilities Assistance
and Bill of Rights Act, as one basis for
providing technical assistance (e.g.,
during site visits), and as a support for
management decision making.
Respondents: State and Tribal
Govenments.
