SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Advisory Commission on Accessible 

Instructional Materials in Postsecondary 

Education for Students with Disabilities 

(the Commission) is established under 

Section 772 of the Higher Education 

Opportunity Act, Public Law 110–315, 

dated August 14, 2008. The Commission 

is established to conduct a 

comprehensive study, which will—(I) 

‘‘assess the barriers and systemic issues 

that may affect, and technical solutions 

available that may improve, the timely 

delivery and quality of accessible 

instructional materials for 

postsecondary students with print 

disabilities, as well as the effective use 

of such materials by faculty and staff; 

and (II) make recommendations related 

to the development of a comprehensive 

approach to improve the opportunities 

for postsecondary students with print 

disabilities to access instructional 

materials in specialized formats in a 

time frame comparable to the 

availability of instructional materials for 

postsecondary nondisabled students.’’ 

In making recommendations for the 

study, ‘‘the Commission shall consider— 

(I) how students with print disabilities 

may obtain instructional materials in 

accessible formats within a time frame 

comparable to the availability of 

instructional materials for nondisabled 

students; and to the maximum extent 

practicable, at costs comparable to the 

costs of such materials for nondisabled 

students; (II) the feasibility and 

technical parameters of establishing 

standardized electronic file formats, 

such as the National Instructional 

Materials Accessibility Standard as 

defined in Section 674(e)(3) of the 

Individuals with Disabilities Education 

Act, to be provided by publishers of 

instructional materials to producers of 

materials in specialized formats, 

institutions of higher education, and 

eligible students; (III) the feasibility of 

establishing a national clearinghouse, 

repository, or file-sharing network for 

electronic files in specialized formats 

and files used in producing 

instructional materials in specialized 

formats, and a list of possible entities 

qualified to administer such 

clearinghouse, repository, or network; 

(IV) the feasibility of establishing 

market-based solutions involving 

collaborations among publishers of 

instructional materials, producers of 

materials in specialized formats, and 

institutions of higher education; (V) 

solutions utilizing universal design; and 

(VI) solutions for low-incidence, highcost requests for instructional materials 

in specialized formats.’’ 

The Commission will meet in open 

session on Tuesday and Wednesday, 

and will discuss the content of the 

Commission report. The Commission 

will also address unresolved issues that 

have previously been discussed by the 

Commission’s four task forces. The 

Commission will also receive briefings 

from subject matter experts on several 

different topics of interest. 

The purpose of the public hearing is 

for the Commission to receive 

information from its stakeholders on 

issues pertaining to accessible 

instructional materials in postsecondary 

education. The public hearing session 

will address issues related to law, 

technology, the market model, and lowincidence/high-cost materials. 

Additionally, the public hearing will 

focus on individual experiences related 

to accessible instructional materials in 

postsecondary education. 

Detailed minutes of the meeting and 

hearing, will be available to the public 

within 14 days of the meeting. Records 

are kept of all Commission proceedings 

and are available for public inspection 

at the Office of Special Education and 

Rehabilitative Services, United States
