                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: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA;
                Pub. L. 108-446) directs the Secretary of Education to obtain data on
                the dispute resolution process described in Section 615 of the law.
                This package provides instructions and form necessary for States to
                report the number of written, signed complaints; mediation requests;
                and hearing requests and the status of these actions initiated during
                the reporting year with regards to children served under Part C of
                IDEA. The form satisfies reporting requirements and is used by OSEP to
                monitor SEAs and for Congressional and public reporting. No adjustments
                were made to this data collection therefore we anticipate no change in
                the response burden associated with this data collection. The
                Department of Education is interested in public comment addressing the
                COVID crisis. Specially, are there any considerations to these data
                collections due to the national emergency caused by the novel
                Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Please note that written comments
                received in response to this notice will be considered public records.
                 Dated: June 11, 2020.
