1. The State's policies, procedures, methods, descriptions, certifications, and assurances meet all application requirements of Part C of the Act as found in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), codified at 20 U.S.C. 1431 through 1443 and the Part C regulations in 34 CFR Part 303. The State is able to provide and/or meet all policies, procedures, methods, descriptions, and assurances, found in Sections II.A and II.B of this Application.

By selecting this submission statement the State either has on file with the Secretary or has submitted new or revised State policies, procedures, methods, and descriptions that meet all requirements found in Section II.A.

2. The State cannot provide the policies, procedures, methods, descriptions, and/or assurances for all application requirements of Part C of the Act as found in Part C of the IDEA, 20 U.S.C. 1431 through 1443 and the Part C regulations in 34 CFR Part 303. The State has determined that it is unable to provide the policies, procedures, methods, descriptions, and/or assurances that are checked 'No' in Sections II.A and II.B. However, the State assures that throughout the period of this grant award the State will operate consistently with all requirements of IDEA in 20 U.S.C. 1431 through 1443 and the 2011 Part C regulations in 34 CFR Part 303. The State will develop and/or make such changes to existing policies, procedures, methods, descriptions, and assurances as are necessary to bring the policies, procedures, methods, descriptions, and assurances into compliance with the requirements of the IDEA Part C Act and regulations, as amended, as soon as possible, and not later than June 30, 2025. The State has included the date by which it expects to complete necessary changes associated with policies, procedures, methods, descriptions, and assurances marked 'No'. The items checked 'Yes' in Section II.A are enclosed with this application as revised or new or are identified as "OF" already on file with the Secretary.

The State is submitting new or modified State policies and procedures previously submitted to the Department and checked in Section II.A, "N", "R" or "OF" cell(s) found in the 'Yes' column. These modifications are a result of: (1) the State revising its applicable State law or regulations; (2) changes required by the Secretary due to new interpretation of the Act or regulations by a Federal court or the State's highest court; and/or (3) because of an official finding of noncompliance with Federal law or regulation.
