Background
On December 21, 2006, the Assistant
Secretary for Special Education and
Rehabilitative Services (Assistant
Secretary) issued a final program
determination letter (PDL) seeking to
recover from Oklahoma $583,943.29 of
Part B of the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA–B)
funds. These funds, based on a finding
in a single audit of Oklahoma (Audit
Control Number 06–04–58175), were
determined by the Assistant Secretary to
have been expended, during fiscal year
2003, in violation of the IDEA–B’s
maintenance of effort requirement set
out in 34 CFR 300.230–300.233 (2003).1
Specifically, the PDL identified 76 LEAs
in Oklahoma that violated the
maintenance of effort requirement and
the amount of that violation for each of
those LEAs.
Oklahoma filed an Application for
Review of this PDL with the Office of
Administrative Law Judges (OALJ) on
February 26, 2007. On April 16, 2007,
the OALJ granted the parties Joint
Motion to Conduct Voluntary Discovery,
Engage in Settlement, Negotiations, and
Suspend the Procedural Schedule (Joint
Motion). Since this Joint Motion was
granted, Oklahoma has presented the
Department with extensive
documentation and analysis, not
available to the Department at the time
the PDL was issued, to support its
contention that the total level of the
maintenance of effort violation was
lower than set out in the PDL. On the
basis of that documentation the
Assistant Secretary, on November 22,
2010, filed a Notice of Reduction of
Claim with the OALJ that reduced the
claim in this matter from $583,943.29 to
$289,501.76.
The Department proposes to
compromise this remaining claim to
$217,126.32. Based on litigation risks
and the costs of proceeding through the
administrative and, possibly, court
1 When new regulations for the IDEA–B program
were issued in 2006, the maintenance of effort
requirements were re-codified at 34 CFR 300.203–
300.205.

process for this appeal, the Department
has determined that it would not be
practical or in the public interest to
continue this proceeding. In addition, in
light of corrective actions Oklahoma has
taken, we do not anticipate recurrence
of this maintenance of effort violation.
As a result, under the authority in 20
U.S.C. 1234a(j), the Department has
determined that compromise of this
claim for $217,126.32 is appropriate.
The public is invited to comment on the
Department’s intent to compromise this
claim. Additional information may be
obtained by calling or writing to Ronald
B. Petracca at the telephone number and
address listed at the beginning of this
notice.
