    1. Section 303.12(a)(4) provides that early intervention services 
must meet State standards. This provision implements a requirement that 
is similar to a longstanding provision under part B of the Act (i.e., 
that the State educational agency establish standards and ensure that 
those standards are currently met for all programs providing special 
education and related services).
    2. Section 303.12(a)(3)(ii) provides that early intervention 
services must be provided by qualified personnel.
    3. Section 303.361(b) requires statewide systems to have policies 
and procedures relating to personnel standards.
