    Abstract: OMB Information Collection 1820-0682 was created to 
reflect the requirements in Part C of the IDEA in 20 U.S.C. 1431-1443 
and the final Part C regulations. These regulations require the 56 
State lead agencies (LAs) that receive Part C funds to collect and 
maintain information or data and, in some cases, report information or 
data to other public agencies or to the public. These recordkeeping 
requirements are not new and do not require reporting to the Secretary. 
This Information Collection was created to ensure that all Part C 
information responsibilities are documented and have been submitted for 
OMB review. The following table describes the information under Part C 
to be collected or maintained and identifies the legal requirement for 
each collection. These required listed collections are consolidated 
into 1820-0682.
