Final Rule  \nDEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION  \n34 CFR Part 300  \nRIN 1820–AB65  \n[Docket ID ED–2012–OSERS–0020]  \nAssistance to States for the Education of Children With Disabilities  \nAGENCY: Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, Department of Education.  \nACTION: Final rule.  \nSUMMARY: The Secretary of Education (Secretary) amends regulations for Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (Part B or IDEA) . These regulations govern the Assistance to States for the Education of Children with Disabilities program and the Preschool Grants for Children with Disabilities program. These amendments revise the regulations governing the requirement that local educational agencies maintain fiscal effort.  \nDATES: These regulations are effective on July 1, 2015.  \nApplicability dates: The Subsequent Years rule for Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015, stated in final § 300 . 203(c)(1), reiterates the relevant provision of the 2014 Appropriations Act and the 2015 Appropriations Act, respectively. As explained in the Effective Date section of the Analysis of Comments and Changes, the 2014 and 2015  \nAppropriations Acts made the Subsequent Years rule applicable for IDEA Part B grants awarded on July 1, 2014, and July 1, 2015, respectively.  \nFOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  \nMary Louise Dirrigl, U.S. Department of Education, 550 12th Street SW. , Potomac Center Plaza, Room 5156, Washington, DC 20202–2641.

In the preamble to the NPRM, the Secretary discussed the changes being proposed to the regulations governing the  \nrequirement that LEAs maintain effort, specifically: (1) The compliance standard; (2) the eligibility standard; (3) the level of effort required of an LEA in the year after it fails to maintain effort; and (4) the consequence for a failure to maintain local effort. These final regulations adopt the proposed amendments with modifications to improve organization, clarity, and flexibility for LEAs.  \nMajor Changes in the Regulations  \nThe following is a summary of the major changes in these final regulations from the regulations proposed in the NPRM. The rationale for each of these changes is discussed in the Analysis of Comments and Changes section of this preamble.  \n• We moved the regulations governing eligibility for an IDEA Part Bsubgrant (sections 611 and 619 of the IDEA) from proposed § 300.203(b) to § 300 . 203(a) .  \n• We added language to the eligibility standard in § 300.203(a)(1) to clarify the four methods that LEAs may use to meet this standard: (1) Local funds only,(2) the combination of State and local funds,(3) local funds only on a per capita basis, or (4) the combination of State and local funds on a per capita basis.  \n• We changed the language in the eligibility standard in § 300.203(a)(1) to provide that the comparison year is the most recent fiscal year for which information is available, regardless of which method an LEA uses to establish eligibility.  \n• We added language in the eligibility standard in § 300.203(a)(2) to provide that, when determining the amount of funds that the LEA must budget to meet the requirement in paragraph  \n§ 300.203(a)(1), the LEA may take into consideration, to the extent the information is available, the exceptions and adjust","cbCaii5aDTblPowo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii5aDTblPowo","pdf",474401,29,"English","# Agency and Action\n## Summary\n## Dates and Effective Dates\n# Background and Major Changes\n## Proposed Rulemaking and Adoption\n## Major Changes in the Regulations","[{\"question\":\"What programs are governed by the final regulations in 34 CFR Part 300?\",\"answer\":\"The regulations govern the Assistance to States for the Education of Children With Disabilities program and the Preschool Grants for Children With Disabilities program under IDEA.\"},{\"question\":\"When do the final regulations take effect?\",\"answer\":\"The regulations are effective on July 1, 2015.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the amendments in relation to local effort?\",\"answer\":\"The amendments revise how the local educational agencies must maintain fiscal effort, including eligibility and compliance standards, and how effort is determined for subsequent fiscal years.\"}]","Assistance to States for the Education of Children With Disabilities - Final Rule | PDF",73]
