SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Advisory Committee on Student Financial 
Assistance is established under Section 491 of the Higher Education Act 
of 1965 as amended by Public Law 100-50 (20 U.S.C. 1098). The Advisory 
Committee serves as an independent source of advice and counsel to the 
Congress and the Secretary of Education on student financial aid 
policy. Since its inception, the congressional mandate requires the 
Advisory Committee to conduct objective, nonpartisan, and independent 
analyses on important aspects of the student assistance programs under 
Title IV of the Higher Education Act. In addition, Congress expanded 
the Advisory Committee's mission in the Higher Education Opportunity 
Act of 2008 to include several important areas: Access, Title IV 
modernization, early information and needs assessment and review and 
analysis of regulations. Specifically, the Advisory Committee is to 
review, monitor and evaluate the Department of Education's progress in 
these areas and report recommended improvements to Congress and the 
Secretary.
    The Advisory Committee has scheduled this teleconference for annual 
election of officers and to approve its Fiscal Year 2011 work plan.
