Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

Proposed Projects/Title: State Developmental Disabilities Council 5-Year State Plan.

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
