processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the

including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.

supportive of the success of low-income and first generation students 
and individuals with disabilities through the provision of support 
services.
