    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Interagency Coordinating Council 
    (FICC) is established under section 685 of the Individuals with 
    Disabilities Education Act, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1484a). The Council 
    is established to: (1) Minimize duplication across Federal, State and 
    local agencies of programs and activities relating to early 
    intervention services for infants and toddlers with disabilities and 
    their families and preschool services for children with disabilities; 
    (2) ensure effective coordination of Federal early intervention and 
    preschool programs, including Federal technical assistance and support 
    activities; and (3) identify gaps in Federal agency programs and 
    services and barriers to Federal interagency cooperation. To meet these 
    purposes, the FICC seeks to: (1) Identify areas of conflict, overlap, 
    and omissions in interagency policies related to the provision of 
    services to infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with disabilities; (2) 
    develop and implement joint policy interpretations on issues related to 
    infants, toddlers, and preschoolers that cut across Federal agencies, 
    including modifications of regulations to eliminate barriers to 
    interagency programs and activities; and (3) coordinate the provision 
    of technical assistance and dissemination of best practice information. 
    The FICC is chaired by the Assistant Secretary for Special Education 
    and Rehabilitative Services.
    
        At this meeting the FICC plans to hold an open hearing with the 
    participants of the Partnerships for Progress Conference concerning 
    early childhood issues.
        The meeting of the FICC is open to the public. Written public 
    comment will be accepted at the conclusion of the meeting. These 
    comments will be included in the summary minutes of the meeting. The 
    meeting will be physically accessible with meeting materials provided 
    in both braille and large print. Interpreters for persons who are 
    hearing impaired will be available. Individuals with disabilities who 
    plan to attend and need other reasonable accommodations should contact 
    the person named above in advance of the meeting.
        Summary minutes of the FICC meetings will be maintained and 
    available for public inspection at the U.S. Department of Education, 
    600 Independence Avenue SW., room 3127, Switzer Building, Washington, 
    DC 20202-2644, from the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., weekdays, except

    Howard R. Moses,
    Acting Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative
