Comments: We have scheduled public
forums on August 17, 2011 and
September 20, 2011 as part of our
Section 504 Self-Evaluation. The
purpose of the public forums is to help
us evaluate the current level of
accessibility of our programs, activities,
and facilities and to gather comments
for ways that we might improve
accessibility. We will focus on a number
of topics at each public forum as part of
this self-evaluation, and interested
persons will have an opportunity to
express their views. We are particularly
interested in comments from persons
with disabilities, their family members,
and those who work with, or advocate
for, persons with disabilities. Space is
limited; therefore, we encourage all
organizations and individuals who wish
to attend the public forums or provide
comments via telephone to register in

who register in advance and receive
schedule confirmation will be permitted
to provide input. Organizations should
designate no more than one person to
comment on their behalf. Organizations
or individuals may comment in person,
by telephone, or by telephone relay
service. Prior to the forum, we will try
to tell each interested individual the
approximate time when he or she can
comment during the public forum.
Those who register to comment by
telephone or telephone relay service
should be available at the telephone or
TTY number they provide during
registration at least one-half hour before
their scheduled time to comment.
We will limit comments to five
minutes per person or organization.
Commenters may supplement their
comments with written statements that
will become part of the official public
forum record. If we determine that there
is not enough time to hear from all those
wishing to present comments, we will
select among those wishing to testify to
ensure representation of a range of
viewpoints and interests.
