Volume 64 of the March 12, 1999 Federal Register, beginning at page 12403 contains the special education federal regulations. When regulations are issued, they are first published in the Federal Register, and later published in the Code of Federal Regulations. The special education regs will be published in Volume 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations, beginning with Part 300. 

For example, the regulation that explains the "Development, Review, and Revision of IEPs" is in Volume 34 of the C.F.R. at Section 300.346 and thus has the legal citation of 34 C.F.R. Section 300.346. That regulation was published last Friday in the Federal Register at page 12441. The citation for the Federal Register location of 300.346 is simply Volume 64, Federal Register, page 12441, or 64 F.R. 12441.

A large portion of the special ed regs in the Federal Register will not be published in the Code of Federal Regulations. All of the actual regulations will be published, but neither the "Attachments" nor the lengthy comprehensive explanations.

We have placed the Adobe Acrobat "pdf" (portable document format) files for the March 12, 1999 edition of the Federal Register at our website. 

After you open one of the files, you can click on Tools, Find, and then insert the section number you are interested in and jump to that section. For example, "Tools, Find, 300.346", and it will search and find the first reference to "300.346", then click "Tools, Find Again", and it will locate the next entry. Or, once you know the FR page, such as 12441, just use Tools, Find, 12441 and you will arrive at the IEP regulation.

The filenames we have used are listed by the beginning and ending FR page numbers. For example, the first filename below is "64_FR_12405_12454.pdf" The nomenclature we have used is simply that the file begins with page 12405 of the Federal Register and the last FR page of that file is 12454. Within that first file, at page 12418, is a listing of the regulations, by regulation number. 

The second and third files are very large, 1.7 and 2.2 megs respectively. The actual Part 300 regs are located in the first and second files. Focus on those two initially.

Appendix A, which has replaced the old IEP Appendix C is located in the second file at 12469.

The "pdf" Filenames and URLs that are listed below do not have spaces between the characters, they have underscores ( __ ) and are a necessary part of the filename. Just click on the link to go to the particular page.
