its statutory obligations. The Leader, Information Management Case

    Abstract: Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act 
discretionary grants are authorized to support technology, State 
personnel development, personnel preparation, parent training, and 
information and technical assistance activities. This grant application 
provides the forms and information necessary for applicants to submit 
an application for funding, and information for use by technical 
reviewers to determine the quality of application. Note the following 
changes: (1) Discretionary grants in the area of research have been 
excluded from this collection since special education research grants 
are now under the authority of IES. (2) State Personnel Development 
Grants (previously know as the State Improvement Grants under the 1820-
0620 collection) have been added to this Part D umbrella collection. 
The 1820-0620 collection included a Q & A that is no longer relevant to 
the program and has not been used for several years. Other than the Q & 
A, there is no difference in the 1820-0620 collection and the 1820-0028 
Part D umbrella collection. (3) Page B-8 of application package, 
paragraph 3, includes a detailed description of the abstract that 
applicants should include in the application.
    This information collection is being submitted under the 
Streamlined Clearance Process for Discretionary Grant Information 
Collections (1890-0001). Therefore, the 30-day public comment period 
notice will be the only public comment notice published for this 
information collection.
