persons with developmental disabilities. This program performance
report (PPR) is required by Section 107(a) of the Developmental
Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (42 U.S.C., 6000 et
seq.).
The PPR is submitted by each DD Council to the Department of Health

Disability, as required by Section 107(c) of the Developmental
Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (42 U.S.C., 6000 et
seq.). Additionally, the data in the reports will provide the

will enable the Department to respond to Congressional requests.
Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
