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

Abstract: This information collection

§ 685.205 and reasonable and affordable
loan rehabilitation in § 685.211. We are
requesting an extension of the current
burden calculated for this information
collection. These regulations provide
additional flexibilities for Direct Loan
borrowers and permit oral requests for
forbearance, as well as allow a borrower
to object to the initially established
reasonable and affordable loan
repayment amount. In addition, if a
borrower incurs changes to his or her
financial circumstances, the borrower
can provide supporting documentation
to change the amount of the reasonable
and affordable loan monthly repayment
amount. There has been no change to
the regulatory language.

Title of Collection: Individuals with

and Local Implementation Study 2019.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1,153.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 970.
Abstract: The data collection for the
Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA) State and Local
Implementation Study 2019 will
examine how states, districts, and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
schools are identifying and supporting
children and youth with disabilities.
The study is one component of a
Congressionally-mandated National
Assessment of IDEA.
The purpose of this data collection is
to develop an up-to-date national
picture of how states, districts, and
schools are implementing IDEA in order
to provide ED, Congress, and other
stakeholders with knowledge that can
inform the next reauthorization of IDEA
and, ultimately, how services are
provided to children. This study of
IDEA is necessary because a decade has
passed since the previous IDEA national
implementation study, and subsequent
developments may have influenced the
context and implementation of special
education and early intervention.
The surveys will be administered in
Fall 2019. All respondents will have the
opportunity to complete an electronic
survey (or paper survey, if preferred).
The survey respondents are described
briefly below:
State Surveys: The study team will
administer three separate electronic
surveys that focus on the Part C program
for infants and toddlers (administered to
the Part C infants and toddlers program
coordinator), the Part B program for
preschool-age children (administered to
the Part B program for preschool-age
children coordinator), and the Part B
program for school-age children and
youth (administered to the special
education director). Three surveys are
necessary because different state
administrators are likely to oversee
IDEA programs for children at those
different age levels. The state surveys
will be administered to the respondents
in each of the 61 state-level entities that
receive IDEA funding: All 50 states, the
District of Columbia, 8 U.S. territories,
the Bureau of Indian Education, and the
Department of Defense Education
Activity.
School District Surveys: The study
team will administer two separate
electronic surveys that focus on the Part
B program for preschool-age children
(administered to the Part B program for
pre-school age children coordinator)
and the IDEA Part B program for schoolage children and youth (administered to
the special education director). If a
district does not have a Part B program
for preschool-age children coordinator,
the study team will work with the
district to identify the survey’s most
appropriate respondent, likely someone
in the pre-school special education
leadership. Two surveys are necessary
because different district staff members
are likely to oversee IDEA programs for
students at those different age levels.
The study team will administer the Part
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
B program for preschool-age children
survey to a nationally representative
sample of 602 school districts and the
Part B program for school-age children
survey to a nationally representative
sample of 665 school districts. (Of the
665 districts selected overall, 63 do not
offer pre-kindergarten instruction and
are not eligible for the preschool-age
district survey.)
School Surveys: A single school
survey covers the Part B program for
school-age children, the Part B program
for preschool-age children, the
transition from the Part C infants and
toddlers program, and transition
planning for secondary school students.
The school survey will be administered
to the school principal or lead special
education staff. The study team will
administer an electronic survey to a
nationally representative sample of
2,750 schools from the 665 selected
districts.
