Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 5, 2017 / Notices
The
Department of Education (ED), in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Report of Dispute
Resolution Under Part C of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act.
OMB Control Number: 1820–0678.
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 56.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 2,240.
Abstract: This data collection
provides instructions and forms
necessary for States to report the
number of written, signed complaints;
mediation requests; and hearing
requests and the status of these actions
with regards to children served under
Part C of Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA) initiated during
the reporting year. The form satisfies
reporting requirements and is used by
OSEP to monitor SEAs and for
Congressional reporting.
